The successfully implemented complex project by ACORIS specialists at the VMU V. Adamkus Sports Centre will allow for efficient management of individual processes: an access control system, a ticket sales and verification control system, and a smart VMU parking system.
The VMU President Valdas Adamkus Sports Centre is currently the largest university sports complex in Lithuania, adapted to a wide range of sports activities and needs. The sports complex for the needs of the university community consists of a grandstand building, a sports hall adapted for basketball, indoor football, volleyball and other sports, a football stadium pitch with running tracks and long jump sectors, outdoor basketball courts, a ground tennis court, an artificial grass tennis court, a sand volleyball court, and a multipurpose court. The outdoor stands have 1 000 seats. The Žalgiris Kaunas football team trains at the stadium and plays some of its home games.
The largest multi-sport and multi-purpose university sports complex in the country today requires efficient management through modern integrated systems.
Access control and parking system for the VMU President Valdas Adamkus Sports Centre
Designed and installed a Sports Centre access control system to remotely manage who can enter and exit the centre when, control the number of parking spaces for employees and guests, and receive reports. It is a convenient and efficient system that saves human resources and labour time. The system not only allows access by authorised persons, but also optimal management of parking spaces, reports, data analysis and corrections.
The pre-system arrangements required a responsible staff member to physically monitor and deal with/check authorised access, unlocking the gates in the morning and locking them in the evening was not up to the task, flexibility in responding to different situations, problems with access during off-hours, and high labour time and costs.
An integrated, remotely controlled access control system solves the problem. Once car numbers are entered into the system, they enter the site at the convenience of authorised staff and/or guests, according to their needs.
Additionally, for single entry, the administrator can admit a car at the touch of a button on the computer, as well as with a phone call or remote control.
The system is being developed and an intelligent VMU Parking system with space management for departments is being implemented.
Ticketing and access control system
Timed passes or single tickets to the event are installed by activating NFC cards, student and employee ID cards, pendants, and can be downloaded to the customer’s or visitor’s phone in QR code format or PIN. Using these methods, a gate is opened or a turnstile is unblocked and a person can enter and leave the area.
This is part of the stadium modernisation project, which has significantly increased customer comfort and speed of access. The system helps to ensure that there are no misunderstandings and inaccuracies, eliminates the influence of the human factor and guarantees transparency. The system also provides data on the number of visitors. This is an important indicator for event organisers to analyse success, needs and future plans.
Parking, access control and accounting systems designed and implemented by ACORIS specialists can be successfully integrated into existing business management systems, which allows for efficient and optimal management of processes, on-line visibility of emerging problems (e.g. unauthorised access to the facility, etc.), quick resolution of issues, planning of optimisation and improvement.
