Available from Specialist distributor Switchtec is the Smart-Q system, a self-powered luminous & acoustic system for the management of queues at the entrance to shops, supermarkets, banks, and post offices.
The Smart-Q system compromises of a Red & Green LED luminous beacon and an internal sounder, providing visual and audible indication to shoppers when it’s safe to enter a building. Just like a small traffic light the Smart-Q provides an indication, to those who are waiting at the entrance to a shop, when it is time to enter the building or move forward in a queue.
Powered from a rechargeable battery, the Smart-Q guarantees 8 hours of continuous operation, then simply plugs in to a 230V power socket to recharge overnight.
To allow customers to do their shopping as safely as possible and help with safe social distancing, the Smart-Q manages the queue at the entrance of the building by staggering the entrance times. The Smart-Q can be controlled either by the built-in selectable timer or manually by the shop keeper via a remote-control key fob. The Smart-Q’s built in timer has a selectable 2-12 second delay, which changes the LED Traffic Light colour from Red to Green, and back to Red for the next customer. The built-in timer can be overridden by the shop keeper using the key fob or used manually, as and when the shop keeper is ready for the next customer.
The Smart-Q from Sirena is easy to install as it does not need a qualified electrician to install. It also removes the necessity for a member of staff to control customer flow into the building, multiple devices can be connected and synchronized for orderly advancement of the queues in and around shops.
