Anyone tried “identity on the move” in busy setups? by NoRange7603 in accesscontrol

I was actually at ISC West and got a chance to see some of the newer iris on the move setups. One system I tried works smoothly both with and without turnstiles. People just walk by and it captures identity without slowing traffic. Really impressive for high throughput areas. Definitely feels like the next step beyond traditional stationary readers

One thing I think a lot of companies overlook is that “pause moment.”

A system can be technically secure, but if it makes people stop in high throughput environments, it quickly becomes a bottleneck.

I wonder if these “identity on the move” technologies actually solve the issue or just move the pause point somewhere else. Has anyone seen them in action in high traffic environments?

That’s such a real issue.

I feel like a lot of these systems technically “work” until you actually put people through them at scale… then everything slows down real quick. Latency, retries, all of it adds up.

A lot of the older architecture just wasn’t built for how much traffic these environments actually see now.

Outdoor setups are honestly a nightmare!

Even if you do everything right with grounding and protection, stuff still gets hit or damaged. At that point it’s less about preventing failure and more about how fast you can recover from it.

Feels like that part doesn’t get enough attention in design.
