Gate opening monitoring provides insights into the flow of vehicles or people at a location and delivers valuable data on the proper functioning of a system, service rate, and site security.
Measure barrier performance, secure access, and analyze traffic with the ACS-Switch®
An automatic barrier that gets stuck or a gate that opens unexpectedly can cause queues, reduce service levels, or create security vulnerabilities.
Yet equipping these systems is often considered too complex: power wiring, connection to the control panel, and site downtime.
The autonomous ACS-Switch® sensor installs in minutes on any existing barrier or gate and instantly transmits open/close status, wirelessly, with no construction required.
Why monitor barrier openings ?
Service rate Toll booths or parking lots must guarantee maximum throughput time; a barrier left open or closed impacts both performance and user perception.
Safety and compliance In public buildings or logistics zones, tracking each opening cycle helps detect intrusions, audit traffic flow, and ensure fire safety compliance.
Condition-based maintenance Barrier motors have a limited number of cycles; tracking movements prevents sudden breakdowns and enables planned maintenance.
Ineo‑Sense's answer
ACS-Switch®, non-intrusive detection
Fast installation Magnet on the barrier arm or gate, sensor unit on the frame; activated via smartphone — no cabling required.
Multi-event detection The sensor detects opening, closing, abnormal positions, shocks, or excessive vibrations.
Timestamping & long-range radio Each event is time-stamped and transmitted via LoRaWAN or Clover-Net, then stored in your platform or BMS.
Traffic analysis Cycle history reveals peak hours, occupancy rates, or user behavior, helping you adjust capacity and enhance the customer experience.
Go further: control remotely with REP-Report-Io
Want to do more than just monitor barrier openings, and actually operate them remotely?
The wireless REP-Report-Io module receives commands from your monitoring system to trigger barrier opening or closing, while also reporting the end-of-travel dry contact status.
Operational benefits
Real-time visibility Instantly know if a barrier is left open or blocked.
Incident reduction Immediate alerts in case of abnormal position or impact allow intervention before failure.
Flow optimization Passage data helps size lanes, inform users, and balance traffic loads.
Installation without service interruption Battery-powered sensor (3–5 years autonomy), no electrical connection needed.
Fast ROI Less corrective maintenance, shorter wait times, enhanced security, all without major infrastructure work.
Application examples
Urban tolls Monitor the number of barrier cycles and receive alerts if the arm is stuck; use traffic statistics to adjust dynamic pricing.
Residential parking lots Detect unauthorized nighttime openings and notify the security guard.
Logistics docks Count roller door openings, paired with REP-Report-Io to remotely release a dock.
Sensitive sites Instant alarm triggered if a technical gate is operated without authorization.
Business sectors
The industry sectors we regulary address for these challenges
Thanks to 1,600 sensors installed at Bicloo stations in Nantes, JCDecaux improves real-time bike availability. Users benefit from a smoother service, and the collected data helps optimize fleet management and parking spot turnover.
To optimize the management of its underground parking lots, LPA and Ineo-Sense deployed GalaP.SYS®, a battery-powered wireless parking guidance system. Thanks to this solution, drivers can find free spaces more quickly, while the city reduces congestion, energy consumption, and installation costs.
