EUROBRICO
CHOOSES GUNNEBO GATES
EuroBrico is an important
retail chain in the do-it-yourself trade, having eighteen
shops in several locations in north-eastern Italy as well
as its own corner in several shopping centres in the area.
EuroBrico's distinctive characteristic is its top quality
customer service; clients need not necessarily be handicraft
experts to purchase the best goods for one's needs, since
trained and competent staff are always available to clear
doubts and provide advice.
It is of course important that clients be led along a
path that must be coherent with their purchase behaviour
schemes; for this reason entrance control gates are essential.
These must be sturdy but at the same time attractive,
so as not to discourage free access to the point of sale
while preventing unauthorised transit.
In numerous shops of this retail chain - in Rovereto,
for instance, as well as in the new shop in Bolzano -
Pass-O-Mat gates have been used to this effect. These
are the best-selling product in the Italdis range, a line
of gates specifically designed for points of sale by Gunnebo
Entrance Control, a company within the Swedish multinational
group, Gunnebo, leader in the pedestrian access control
market.
Out of the many gates featured in the exhaustive Italdis
catalogue, Pass-O-mat gates were picked. These are motor
swing-gates specifically designed for points of sale.
Normally closed, Pass-O-Mat gates open as instructed by
photo-cells (or by a radar sensor) that indicate when
the client moves into the access corridor. The gate remains
open for a predetermined time period and closes automatically
after the client passes. It only functions in one direction
thus stopping exits from being used as entrances; should
the need arise, an emergency mechanism allows the gate
to be forced open in both directions by applying pressure
equivalent to about 12 kgs. In this case electricity supply
to the engine is cut off immediately and a sound alarm
is set off that only stops when the normal position is
re-established. A security brake stops the gate's movement
when it comes in contact with an obstacle. The universally
known icons of the arrow and the one-way sign enable the
gate to be used with ease even by occasional clients;
their pleasant aesthetics ensures that clients are not
inhibited from accessing the shop, while their sturdy
build implies that they can resist the wear and tear caused
by continuous transit, while requiring very limited maintenance.
Italdis gates are also characterised by a very favourable
value-for-money ratio, an aspect that certainly helps
in allowing the point of sales to be managed according
to sound economic principles. This advantage is further
completed by the top-notch technical and commercial after-sales
service, that Gunnebo has always taken pride in and that
can meet the requirements of the most demanding clients.
EuroBrico can thus be listed among the prestigious companies
that use Gunnebo products and find them fully satisfactory!
