Orion Experience Center

Entrance security is not a collection of isolated components, it is a single, orchestrated ecosystem.
The Orion Experience Center brings this concept to life, demonstrating how modern secure entry systems operate together under real-world conditions.

The Orion DataGuard™ Experience

Purpose-built for mission-critical facilities

 

Industry’s only turnkey automated entry room for Data Centers & Critical Infrastructure

Step inside a fully operational DataGuard™ environment to see how proprietary AI, LiDAR technology, and elite partner integrations create the most sophisticated entry workflow.

The Ingress Journey: How it Works

Traditional mantraps rely on isolated checks at the door. Orion DataGuard™ takes a fundamentally different approach: orchestrating multiple layers of validation inside a single automated entry room.

Think of this as a multi-layered “handshake” between hardware and AI, ensuring that only the right person enters your most critical spaces.

Identity & Automation

Validating the Individual

Secure physical access begins by verifying a person‘s identity through an automated identity verification and a biometric face match. This initial layer ensures the perimeter remains locked until the system confirms a legitimate access request.

Presence & Threat Detection

Securing the Room

Once inside the transition zone, proprietary sensors confirm single-person occupancy to prevent tailgating or piggybacking. Automated screening simultaneously detects prohibited weapons or digital media while biometrics verify the person matches the credential.

Validation & Secure Audit

Finalizing Ingress

The final release is only granted once all secondary logic gates return a 100% clear status for the secure zone. Every sensor read and video frame is synchronized into a permanent, time-stamped audit trail for total compliance.

At the heart of every secure entry is Orion DoorGuard™, our proprietary solution designed to eliminate the risks of unauthorized access. Unlike traditional sensors, DoorGuard™ utilizes advanced LiDAR technology and AI to monitor the ingress path with surgical precision.

  • Proprietary LiDAR ensures exactly one person is present, blocking all tailgating and piggybacking.
  • Orion Infinity™ software synchronizes access control and barriers into an intelligent, future-proofed entry system.

  • Can operate as a standalone retrofit or as the core intelligence within the full DataGuard™ ecosystem

Integrated Partner Technologies

Best-of-Breed Technologies. One Unified Solution.

Intelligent Intercom Stations

“Secure and intelligent communications are the backbone of rapid  response in high-security environments like modern data centers. Integrating Commend’s smart intercom into Orion DataGuard™ provides security teams with communication tools necessary for uncompromising operational safety and control.”

Tony Babicz, Vice President of Channel and Business Development, Commend Americas

Access Management and Identity Verification

Critical infrastructure security is no longer about isolated systems. It is about orchestrating trust across the entire access journey. True security emerges when identity verification, biometrics, and advanced screening technologies work together as one seamless, automated process. At essentry, the verified identity is the starting point of this journey. It provides the trusted foundation for secure, automated access, enabling advanced technologies — from biometrics to screening solutions such as the Rohde & Schwarz QPS body scanner. Applicable across all critical infrastructures, this approach sets a new benchmark for high-assurance access. Together with Orion, we bring this vision into operation.

Advanced Security Scanning Technology

Qualified at the highest Level IV detection standard of the TSA for the aviation industry, the ultra-high-definition R&S®QPS201 mmWave personnel security scanner has utilized AI and Deep Learning to address the more specific and challenging needs of detecting digital media and other prohibited items in data center physical security applications. By integrating the Rohde & Schwarz personnel screening technology into Orion DataGuard™, data centers gain a fully integrated, reliable, and automated screening process without compromising throughput. This is the future of secure access for hyperscale environments.

Multi-Factor Biometric Security

In mission-critical environments like data centers, access control must be accurate, fast, and adaptable across lighting conditions. Our facial authentication technology delivers secure, multi-credential, multi-factor authentication and, together with Orion DataGuard™, it creates a unified biometric security layer that enables rapid, frictionless movement—while maintaining the highest level of protection.
