Gain control with GANTNER’s electronic locker system
Lockers can be opened using cards or wristbands that use contactless RFID technology
Eliminating the problems of jammed locks, lost keys or gym kit left locked up for days, GANTNER’s electronic locker systems offer complete control for operators and ease of use for customers
T
he system is available either as a centrally-controlled wired unit (online) or a battery- powered version (offline),
enabling lockers to be opened via a card or wristband that uses contactless RFID technology. The versatile design means that it can be easily retro-fitted into almost any kind of locker design. The wired system, controlled centrally
from the reception PC, is able to identify in real time which lockers are free and ensure that each visitor can only use one locker at a time if space is at a premium. It comes with alarm- monitored burglary protection; a time- adjustable, automatic opening function for cleaning or overnight security purposes; and other central admin options such as occupancy analysis. The system can also be easily
integrated with Technogym’s Wellness Key as well as Precor’s Preva Token. The battery-operated system has an
internal device that works with a site’s card access system to actively manage or restrict the use of the lockers. It is also able to record bookings, which helps the operator monitor usage. For both online or offline systems, if a master card is lost, the data can simply be deleted and a new master card issued.

If they forget their locker number, they simply swipe the card or wristband at an information terminal to display the locker’s location. GANTNER’s locker system also opens
up the opportunity of new revenue streams for operators, as larger sites may wish to designate and manage some of their lockers in different
ways. Premium club memberships, for example, could include access to a personal locker, or some lockers could be made available for long-term rental. In the case of larger resorts or
theme parks, where visitors may only want to pay for a few hours’ use, or to move their belongings from one locker location to another, GANTNER’s system allows lockers to be timed and accessed via a ‘pay-per-use’ mode. GANTNER’s locker technology can

a GANTNER wired locker system in the three clubs it acquired from Fitness First. Group fitness manager Neil Morris says the company is impressed with the performance so far and is looking to add more software options to the entire GANTNER access system. He adds:
“The lockers are opened with a simple swipe card, and we’re planning to offer members the choice of a convenient wristband at a small extra cost.”
