Founded in 1946, Magnetic AutoControl〔(AC-magnetic.com )〕 became a well established and leading international provider for vehicle access control and pedestrian access control products for high-profile locations around the world. Its US division, Magnetic Automation Corp,〔(Gatesandbarriers.com )〕 located in Rockledge, FL was established in 1990. Primary products include parking gates, parking and revenue collection systems, turnstiles, automated pedestrian barriers, electronic gates for automated immigration processing and trusted traveler applications, automated payment stations for parking, super high speed toll road vehicle barriers and other related equipment.〔(Gatesandbarriers.com )〕 Current users of Magnetic Automation Corp equipment include toll road authorities, parking authorities, airports, sea ports, residential communities, mass transit authorities, prisons, military facilities and other similar locations requiring heavy usage and guaranteed performance. Some of the more unique gate solutions are targeted for passenger terminals, mass transit, border crossings and other sites utilizing automated fare collection or biometric verification. Using highly advance technology referred to as MHTM (Magnetic High Torque Motor) which offers maintenance-free operation in excess of 10,000,000 cycles, these gates are quite unique. Probably the most internationally recognized (not as much in the USA) automated gate solution is called the E-gate. The E-gate (electronic gate) was first installed in Singapore back in 1996. Using biometric readers (fingerprint) and access control cards, nationals could proceed through immigration checkpoints at astonishing rates. Since 1996, similar gates have been installed for both automated immigration processing and trusted traveler solutions (similar to the Registered Traveler program in the USA) at locations such as UAE, Australia, China, Malaysia among others. The E-gate〔(Gatesandbarriers.com )〕 is also commonly referred to as a "smart gate" or "auto gate", using such technologies as facial recognition readers, fingerprint readers, iris readers and other innovative products. The Magnetic Automation Corp sales and manufacturing operation is based in Rockledge, FL while the remaining companies within the Magnetic AutoControl group operate out Germany, Australia, Brazil, China, France, India and Malaysia. By having operations worldwide, Magnetic is able to provide local market expertise and support either directly or via channel partners such as major system integrators and an authorized dealer network.
