Digital customer access supports retail and public institutions on the way to normality
City library in Leipzig tests digital visitor access light with mask recognition

After a complete lockdown, retail and cultural institutions are gradually reopening to welcome customers and visitors under strict conditions. In order to comply with these in an uncomplicated manner, the Leipzig-based company SENSAPE GmbH has developed a digital customer entrance. The device will be used from May 5 by Leipzig City Library, as one of the first institutions, to perform an automated customer count, check the correct fit of the nose-to-mouth protection and display other information on security measures before visitors enter the library. With this innovative solution, the Leipzig-based company aims to boost public confidence in protective measures and compliance with them, paving the way back to normality.
"With our digital customer access, we want to support compliance with safety regulations and, above all, encourage customers and visitors to use retail and cultural venues again," explains SENSAPE Managing Director Matthias Freysoldt. "Protecting health comes first and we are proud to be able to make a social contribution on the way back to a normal everyday life with our almost unique GDPR-compliant facial mask recognition."
