SKIDATA Showcases sMove: A Revolutionary Blend Of Technology & Emotion In Access Solutions

SKIDATA, the global leader in access and ticketing systems, has once again set a benchmark in the industry with its innovative spirit, unparalleled technical expertise, and decades of experience. Introducing sMove, a flexible access solution designed to transform guest reception areas into welcoming havens of security and comfort, SKIDATA is redefining access technology to ensure every visitor feels welcome, regardless of the season. 

· An inclusive access solution catering to skiers, mountain bikers, families, and individuals with disabilities.

· A modular and visually appealing design that meets the highest international safety standards.

· Maximum throughput and increased comfort with the innovative soft Wave element.

The sMove access solution combines cutting-edge ticket technology with effortless operational flexibility, supporting a range of access options from RFID and NFC to Bluetooth from smartphones. Choose sustainable with PVC-free tickets or offer a touch of luxury with elegant wooden keycards—each designed to enhance guest comfort and convenience. 

sMove is constructed from durable materials that ensure reliable performance even in harsh weather conditions. The folding mechanism of the SKIDATA sMove offers several superior features. These include better space efficiency, enhanced safety, wider accessibility, a more modern aesthetic, improved user experience, and greater flexibility. Furthermore, sMove features automated people detection and radar sensors, boosting safety and efficiency by adapting to entry demands. Its energy-efficient operation highlights its sustainability, making it a perfect choice for eco-conscious venues.

Visitors can conveniently book ski passes and services from home or purchase them on-site through a ticketing system. With passes available on smartphones and scannable via bar or QR codes, guests can swiftly and effortlessly enter through the gates. sMove is available both as a conventional turnstile system (sMove Turn) and with a patented soft barrier element (sMove Wave).

Simplified safety

sMove's flexible Waves can be centrally controlled to open in emergencies or pushed aside with minimal effort by a child during power outages, serving as emergency exits for rapid evacuation without additional escape routes. 

An inclusive mountain paradise

In winter, the gates accommodate skiers, snowboarders, and sledders, while summer visitors include mountain bikers, parents with strollers, and wheelchair users. "Mountain biking in the mountains is our passion. It feels great to experience this freedom and ease at the entrance to the bike park," said, Mia and Felix, enthusiastic mountain bikers. Navigating entry points with skis or a snowboard can be cumbersome. Skiers must handle poles and balance in boots, while snowboarders struggle with carrying their boards and preventing bindings from catching. Mountain bikers, especially those with heavy downhill bikes, face similar challenges as these bulky bikes are difficult to maneuver through traditional entry systems. sMove changes all that. Its design, optimized for smooth and fast access, eliminates these hassles. Glide through effortlessly, quickly getting to the lift and onto the mountain. Enjoy your ride without any delays or struggles at the gate.  

Efficient seasonal adaptation

sMove can be converted to summer operation in just 20 minutes, offering a passage width of up to 140 cm, compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and EAA (European Accessibility Act) regulations, ensuring barrier-free access for all guests with their equipment. Transitioning the sMove gate for seasonal activities is straightforward and efficient. Remarkably, within just 20 minutes, this versatile gate can be adapted for winter and summer use, making it perfect for transporting mountain bikers, families with strollers, or visitors in wheelchairs to the peaks. This quick adaptability ensures your resort can operate continuously throughout the year, maximizing guest throughput, a high level of separation, and operational functionality without interruption. 

Economical and Sustainable Design

Constructed from durable materials, the gates require minimal maintenance and perform reliably in harsh weather conditions. The energy-efficient operation reduces costs and emphasizes a commitment to sustainability and environmental protection in mountain tourism.
