Saima supplies an access control system to an Intesa Sanpaolo branch
Intesa Sanpaolo’s corporate context
The client company is a major Italian banking group with branches throughout the country. Our installation was at their Como headquarters, where our machines were already present.
Intesa Sanpaolo’s needs and requirements
The client company needed an employee access control system after modernizing its building. Since the new building features a very modern design, the client asked us for machines that would blend in with the surroundings.
They also asked us to integrate their badge readers into the machines.

Benefits obtained from Intesa Sanpaolo
The client company has obtained several advantages from using the new machines:
– better design and much more modern look.
– badge readers integrated into the employee tagging machine.
– change in the movement of the glass doors, from a retractable movement of the glass to a rotary movement on a vertical axis (swing type).
– addition of a control console to control all the installed machines. This console, in addition to highlighting the status of the gates, also allows the opening and closing of the doors and the emergency shutdown of the entire row.

Description of the proposed solution: “Vasari“
Saima’s solution was the VASARI gate. Vasari is a motorized bidirectional gate. Born from a collaboration with Pininfarina, it presents itself as a design model capable of securing any entrance.
It is an access control system composed of two or more machine bodies, which, through the movement of the doors, allows the opening or closing of the passage.
It is available in various versions, including a wider one to allow the passage of disabled people, in compliance with relevant regulations, or with variable glass height, to increase the physical safety of the passage.

Technical characteristics of Vasari
– 10 mm polycarbonate swing doors
– Upper covers painted in RAL range colours or in stainless steel
– LED to indicate the status of the gate
– Queuing control via infrared sensors
– Safety photocells
This case study demonstrates how the proposed access control system helped the client company improve transit efficiency and increase building security.
The client company was very satisfied with the proposed solution and decided to continue working with our company on future projects.
