) and Automatic Control Systems, Inc. (ACS (Asynchronous Communications Server) See network access server. ) today announced an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  relationship under which ACS will integrate Invisa's SmartGate(R) technology into its line of BL Security Barrier Gates. ACS is the third major manufacturer of parking gates to recently announce an OEM relationship with Invisa. ACS has been a leader in the entrance control industry for over 40 years.

Invisa estimates that annually approximately 60,000 new parking gates are sold worldwide and that a million parking gates are currently in service. Ensuring that parking gates operate with optimal pedestrian and vehicle safety is equally important for parking gates that are already in-service, as it is for new gate installations. The agreement between Invisa and ACS relates to both newly manufactured and existing in-service gates.

, Automatic Control Systems, Inc., stated, "ACS, Inc. continues to be a leader in integrating technology to improve gate operator reliability and safety. We have joined Invisa's OEM program so we can integrate the high level of non-contact pedestrian and vehicle safety afforded by Invisa's technology into our BL Security Barrier Gate line at the time of initial manufacture. We will continue to maintain our leadership position internationally by offering our customers the 'state-of-the-art' in gate operator technology. Integrating the Invisa technology can help ACS maintain that position."

Carl Parks, Vice President of Operations for Invisa, stated, "Safety is a growing trend industry-wide and leaders are placing increased importance on minimizing the risks that parking gates pose to pedestrians and vehicles. Quality gate manufacturers, like ACS, are staying ahead of this safety trend by integrating Invisa's patented technology at their factory to provide non-contact safety that moves with and in front of the gate arm."

In discussing the large number of in-service gates, Mr. Perkins of ACS concluded, "As security integrators, dealers and end-users become more aware of the need to ensure gate safety at their sites, we anticipate growing market attention to Invisa's SmartGate as an aftermarket Aftermarket

 non-contact gate safety solution. At ACS, we are always seeking better alternatives to existing contact switch technologies, therefore we have chosen Invisa's SmartGate technology to provide improved rising barrier gate operator safety."

Invisa's line of SmartGate safety equipment is the only electronic non-contact safety system designed to provide an invisible field that moves with and precedes the gate arm. If the gate arm with SmartGate senses a pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, car or other vehicle, the gate arm is signaled to stop and reverse before any contact has been made to avoid injury or damage.

Mr. Parks of Invisa concluded, "ACS is a technology leader in the parking gate market and we are pleased that they have chosen to integrate our SmartGate safety equipment into their long term product strategy. We believe that our relationship with ACS will not only benefit Invisa's penetration in the US market but will also significantly expand our global presence."
