Mojo Barriers on show in the US
USA - Mojo Barriers launched two new crowd safety innovations into the American live events market at Live Event Expo on 12 April 2011.

Gatekeeper and Barrier Load Monitoring System (BLMS) have been created by Mojo Barriers to address the changing needs of the live event industry and ensure the safest event for both the audience and artists.

Gatekeeper is a temporary event turnstile system which allows people to be counted in and out of an event space with numbers recorded in real time. Equipped with proprietary software and designed to improve crowd safety at events, the Gatekeeper works by monitoring the amount of people passing through entrance and exit Gatekeeper systems, which have been manufactured to be compatible with Mojo Barriers aluminium crowd barriers.

Barrier Load Monitoring System (BLMS) measures the pressure exerted on barriers by an audience using innovative pressure sensors built in to the load bearing arms of the Mojo front of stage barriers. These are linked to a computer which can be located in a convenient position (eg backstage) to display the pressures being excerpted in real time and can be set to record the reading at set time intervals.

JB Dolphin, Mojo Barriers US president states, "Both of these products have arisen from clients asking us how they can address specific issues of crowd safety. They have progressed from the design stage, to testing, to manufacture with Mojo Barriers, so we are now very proud to make them available to clients across the USA."
