Managing access to a sports facility can become complex

Gyms, swimming pools and sports centres must control access for members, subscribers, occasional visitors and staff, often with different rules, times and areas.

Controlling entries

Making sure that only authorised users can enter.

Managing memberships

Controlling access according to the validity of the membership or access ticket, where provided by Daicon solutions.

Managing day entries

Controlling occasional access and admission tickets.

Managing staff

Differentiating access for employees, instructors, technicians and operators.

Controlling areas

Managing access to changing rooms, technical areas, offices and restricted zones, where applicable.

Managing flows

Controlling the movement of people at the busiest times.

A solution for every sports facility

Applications of the same Daicon solution, adapted to the context of the facility. The direct experience documented on the website mainly concerns trade fairs, conferences and events with digital ticketing: the following categories represent the application contexts at which the solution is aimed.

Gyms and fitness

Management of member and user entries.

Swimming pools

Access control and user flow management.

Sports centres

Management of users, staff and access to the various areas.

Stadiums and large venues

Management of large flows and access control.

From access ticket to entry

The actual configuration depends on the needs of the facility and the technologies used: not all installations necessarily use every element of the process.

1

Membership / ticket

The user has an access ticket: membership, card or day ticket.

2

Identification

The badge, card or ticket code is read by the system at the entrance.

3

Authorisation check

The software checks the validity of the ticket and the associated authorisations in real time.

4

Turnstile / gate

If the check is successful, the gate opens and the user enters the facility.

5

Entry

The user enters the permitted area according to the authorisations provided.

6

Event recording

The transit is recorded and made available for supervision and reporting.

Who can enter, when and where

Gate Plus is Daicon's proprietary software for access control and supervision. Where the solution provides for it, it lets you centralise the management of users, authorisations and gates from a single platform.

Our solutions in sports facilities

Specific installations at gyms, swimming pools or sports centres are not yet documented on the Daicon website. The closest references in terms of technology and context β€” large flows of people, digital ticketing, automated access control β€” concern trade fairs and conferences, where the system has already been applied.

Section to be updated as soon as direct references in the sports sector become available.

FAQ

Can I use badges or cards already in use at my facility?

Daicon can clone existing badges or produce and program new RFID badges (125 kHz, MIFARE, DESFire, NFC) ready to use, with no configuration required from the customer.

Can I use the access control hardware I already have?

Gate Plus is designed to integrate with hardware from various manufacturers; Daicon offers an analysis of the existing installation to check compatibility before any replacement.

Can the system manage several gates at the same time?

Yes, the system supports a scalable number of turnstiles and gates, synchronised in real time to prevent double entry with the same ticket.

Does the system work without a stable internet connection?

Yes, there is an offline validation mode with a preloaded list of tickets, with automatic synchronisation when the network is restored.
