What are people guidance systems?
People guidance systems are mobile devices that are used specifically to guide and separate flows of people. They can be installed permanently or temporarily - flexible, mobile versions are usually used for events. Typical components are:
Barrier stands with webbing or rope
Ideal for admission areas, cloakrooms, queues or temporary walkways.Guide cones & floor markings
Quick to use when there are large numbers of visitors, especially in combination with information signs.Mobile fences and grids
For large events or to separate certain zones such as VIP areas or stage entrances.Transparent signage systems
For elegant events or indoor events - unobtrusive but effective.Digitally supported systems
For very large events or trade fairs, digital signage systems, monitors or lighting systems also help.
When do you need people guidance systems?
People guidance systems are always important when many people come together or certain routes need to be clearly regulated. They are particularly relevant in the following situations:
Entrance controls & admission management
Cloakroom or checkout areas
Exhibition aisles and exhibition areas
Routing to stages, grandstands or sanitary facilities
Emergency exits and escape routes
Accessible visitor guidance
Waiting lines at food trucks, bars or check-ins
Delimitation of sensitive or non-public areas
When used correctly, guidance systems not only ensure safety, but also more comfort and a positive event experience.

What should you look out for?
Even if pedestrian guidance systems seem simple, they are only effective if they are used in a well thought-out manner. When planning, ask yourself:
Where do crowds typically form?
Which routes should visitors not enter?
Are there sufficient escape routes and how are these signposted?
How mobile or stable do the systems need to be?
Do the look and material match the event concept?
A good signage system is not only functional - it also blends seamlessly into the overall look of your event.
Invisible structure - visible effect
You can sense a successful event by the atmosphere - not by where you have to stand. This is exactly where wayfinding systems come in. They structure visitor movement so that nobody has to think about it - everything just happens. And that's exactly what you want to achieve: Calm, order, clear paths.
