Relocating the Gate Control Board

When engineers respond to issues with the gate control board, they must operate the gate to diagnose problems.

However, if they cannot see the gate from the control board location, they are unaware of anyone or any vehicles near it. This visibility gap poses significant health and safety risks, including the potential for individual injuries or vehicle damage.

Health and Safety Impact:

Risk of Injury:
Engineers unable to see the gate may inadvertently cause harm to people or property while operating the gate.

Site Security:
Leaving the gate open while awaiting multiple engineers compromises security, increasing the risk of unauthorised access or theft.

Long-Term Cost Savings:
Relocating the gate control board to a position where the gate is visible enables engineers to perform their tasks more safely and efficiently.

Additional Anticipated Benefits:

✅ Reduced Call-Outs:
With a well-positioned control board, most issues can be addressed in one visit, minimising the need for additional trips and reducing labour costs.

✅ Improved Efficiency:
Engineers can quickly assess and resolve issues, reducing the gate’s downtime and residents’ inconvenience.

✅ Pre-programmed Replacement Fobs:
If a replacement fob is needed, having the control board in the right location allows us to supply pre-programmed fobs directly from our offices.

This speeds up the process and eliminates the need for additional site visits, saving money and time. Importantly, all existing fobs will continue to function without disruption.

Summary:
Relocating the gate control board is a proactive step towards enhancing safety and efficiency. By ensuring that engineers can see the gate while they work, we protect individuals and property, achieve substantial cost savings, and maintain site security.
