VELAXIZ Cheetah Speed Gate Deployed at a Major Hospital in the Greater Bay Area

VELAXIZ reached an important project milestone with the deployment of its independently developed Cheetah Series Speed Gate in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The system was installed at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Zhuhai, bringing intelligent pedestrian access control technology into a demanding healthcare environment.

The project demonstrated how speed gates can work with digital identity verification and health-screening systems to improve entrance management efficiency.

Smart Access Control for a Major Hospital

The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University is a major Grade III Class A comprehensive hospital in Zhuhai.

As a large medical institution serving patients, staff and visitors, the hospital requires reliable entrance management capable of handling high pedestrian volumes while maintaining controlled access.

During the COVID-19 prevention period, pre-screening and triage areas became particularly important entrance checkpoints.

The VELAXIZ Cheetah Speed Gate was deployed at the hospital’s pre-screening and triage entrance, helping create a more automated verification process.

Reducing Manual Verification at the Entrance

Traditional hospital screening processes relied heavily on staff manually checking body temperature, health codes and visitor information.

This created several challenges:

  • High staffing requirements
  • Slower pedestrian processing
  • Repeated person-to-person interaction
  • Risk of crowding at entrances
  • Difficulty maintaining consistent screening records

For this project, the speed gate worked together with verification terminals and Guangdong’s Yuekang Code system.

The integrated process supported functions including:

  • Health-code verification
  • Temperature screening
  • Entry registration
  • Identity verification
  • Pedestrian access control

Once the required verification was completed, the system could authorize passage through the gate.

This helped reduce the amount of manual checking required at the hospital entrance while improving the consistency of the screening process.

Cheetah Speed Gate: Designed for Reliable Operation

The Cheetah Series Speed Gate was developed with a focus on stable, high-frequency operation.

Its core drive configuration includes:

Servo Drive Motor
Provides responsive and controlled gate movement for smoother pedestrian passage.

Industrial-Grade Precision Planetary Reducer
Designed to improve transmission accuracy, operational stability and long-term reliability.

The system also supports integration with multiple management platforms and different credential technologies.

This allows the turnstile to become part of a wider access-control architecture rather than operating as a standalone gate.

Multiple Authentication Technologies

Different healthcare facilities require different identity-verification methods.

VELAXIZ pedestrian gates can be integrated with technologies such as:

  • RFID cards
  • QR codes
  • Facial recognition
  • Identity verification terminals
  • Visitor management systems
  • Third-party access control platforms

For hospitals, this flexibility allows different access policies to be applied to employees, patients, visitors and service personnel.

Supporting Safer and More Efficient Hospital Entrances

The Zhuhai hospital project showed how intelligent pedestrian access control can support both operational efficiency and entrance security.

By combining gate control with automated verification, the system helped the hospital create a more structured entrance process.

Key project benefits included:

  • Reduced dependence on manual verification
  • Faster pedestrian processing
  • More consistent entrance procedures
  • Better access records
  • Controlled pedestrian flow
  • Reduced unnecessary person-to-person contact

The project also demonstrated the potential of integrated turnstile systems in modern healthcare environments.

From Hardware to Integrated Healthcare Access

A modern hospital entrance is no longer managed by a single device.

An effective access-control solution may need to connect:

  • Speed gates
  • Visitor management
  • Identity verification
  • Temperature screening
  • QR-code systems
  • Employee access control
  • Hospital management platforms

VELAXIZ focuses on providing turnstile hardware together with flexible system-integration capabilities for healthcare and other high-traffic facilities.
