The Future of Crowd Control Barriers, what lies ahead for retractable and post and rope stanchions? The future of indoor and outdoor crowd control stanchion design is likely to be characterized by the following trends:
- SMART STANCHIONS: Stanchions will be increasingly equipped with sensors and other technology that will allow them to collect data on crowd behavior and identify potential hazards. Companies are already developing stanchions that are equipped with sensors that can track the movement of people and identify potential hazards. This information can then be used to improve crowd management and safety. For example, if a stanchion detects that a crowd is becoming too dense, it can send an alert to security personnel.
- INTERACTIVE STANCHIONS: Stanchions will be able to interact with people in a variety of ways, such as providing directions, displaying event schedules, or collecting feedback. This information can help to make crowds more informed and efficient. For example, a stanchion at a sporting event might display the score and time remaining in the game.
- SUSTAINABLE STANCHIONS: Some stanchions offered by Stanchion Masters® are now made from recycled materials and some parts designed to be recycled. This helps to reduce the environmental impact of crowd control. For example, a stanchion made from recycled plastic can be reused indefinitely, and a stanchion with LED lights can use less energy than a stanchion with traditional incandescent lights.
These are just a few examples of the trends that are shaping the future of crowd control stanchion design. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative and sophisticated stanchions in the years to come.
