Access Control & Mitsubishi DOAS Integration
Infinite Systems implemented an integrated
corporate office tower access control system in Makati, Philippines,
combining secure pedestrian turnstiles, centralized access management and
Mitsubishi Destination Oriented Allocation System (DOAS) elevator integration.
The project used Gunnebo pedestrian turnstiles,
Sensor Access technology, GuardPoint 10 and
an engineered interface to the Mitsubishi elevator environment to coordinate
secure lobby entry with authorized destination workflows.
Designed for building turnover and phased occupancy, the system supports more than
10,000 daily badgeholders while maintaining secure and efficient
movement through the property.

Integrated Building Access From Lobby Entry to Elevator Assignment
Modern corporate towers require more than independent card readers, turnstiles
and elevator controls. User identity, entrance permissions and vertical access
must operate as part of a coordinated building-security environment.
For this Makati office tower project, Infinite Systems helped deliver an access
architecture connecting pedestrian entrance control with centralized access
management and the building’s Mitsubishi destination-control elevator system.
Preparing a High-Traffic Corporate Tower for Secure Occupancy
The project required a reliable access environment that could be operational as
the property transitioned from construction and commissioning into building
turnover and tenant occupancy.
Turnover Readiness
Core access-control and entrance systems had to be commissioned in time
to support initial building operations and occupancy.
High User Volume
The architecture needed to support a large population while maintaining
efficient pedestrian flow during busy periods.
Elevator Integration
Authentication at controlled access points had to coordinate with the
Mitsubishi DOAS destination-control environment.
Multiple User Workflows
Access policies had to accommodate tenants, employees, visitors,
contractors and phased building occupancy.
A Coordinated Access-Control Architecture
Infinite Systems implemented the project as a coordinated security environment
rather than a collection of independent devices. Lobby entrance control,
credential authorization and elevator access were engineered around a common
building-access workflow.
Gunnebo Pedestrian Turnstiles
Controlled lobby entry provides a physical security boundary while
supporting the movement requirements of a premium corporate environment.
Sensor Access Control
Sensor Access controllers provide centralized credential, permission,
schedule and access-event management.
GuardPoint 10
GuardPoint 10 provides the access-management environment required to
coordinate user permissions and supported integrated workflows.
Mitsubishi DOAS Integration
Access authentication was coordinated with the Mitsubishi Destination
Oriented Allocation System for supported destination-control workflows.
ELSGW Gateway
The elevator secure gateway formed part of the communication path between
the access-control environment and the Mitsubishi elevator system.
Phased Occupancy Support
Security workflows accommodated changing populations of building
personnel, contractors and tenants as the property moved into operation.
From Credential Authentication to Elevator Assignment
One of the project’s key engineering features was the coordination between
lobby access control and Mitsubishi destination-control elevators.
Present Credential
The authorized user presents a registered credential at the controlled entrance.
Verify Permissions
The access system validates the credential, assigned schedules and user permissions.
Release Turnstile
Approved entrance access releases the corresponding secured turnstile lane.
Authorize Destination
The permitted destination request is coordinated through the engineered
interface with the Mitsubishi DOAS environment.
Assign Elevator
The destination-control system processes the request and provides the
appropriate elevator assignment.
Credential → access verification → turnstile release → destination authorization → elevator assignment.
Turnstile, Hall Panel and Elevator Access Workflows
Different access-control points were incorporated to support normal tenant
movement as well as users requiring access to other approved destinations.
Turnstile Authentication
Credential authentication validates access rights, permits passage and
initiates the configured destination workflow where applicable.
Hall Operating Panel
Authorized users requiring another permitted destination can use the
configured hall-panel workflow according to assigned access rights.
Elevator Permissions
Elevator access permissions help restrict users to destinations approved
for their credential and security profile.
Secure Building Access Designed for Daily Corporate Operations
The completed system gives building management a coordinated method of controlling
pedestrian entry and elevator authorization while providing authorized users with
a more streamlined journey from the lobby to their permitted destination.
More Than a Turnstile Installation
Multi-System Integration
Access control, pedestrian entrance equipment, elevator interfaces,
networks and operational workflows had to function as parts of one architecture.
Elevator Interface Coordination
Destination-control integration required coordination between the
access-control environment, gateway requirements and Mitsubishi elevator system.
Implementation During Turnover
Installation and commissioning had to align with wider construction,
testing and building-readiness activities.
Scalable User Management
User groups, tenant permissions and access policies had to support an
evolving building population.
Security and Destination Control Working Together
Destination-control elevators manage passenger requests differently from
conventional lift systems. Instead of relying only on floor selection
inside the car, destination requests can be processed before boarding.
When access control is integrated with this workflow, the building can
coordinate identity verification, permitted destinations and elevator
dispatch while maintaining the elevator manufacturer’s configured logic.
Operational Benefits
Entrance and vertical-access permissions can follow the same user identity.
Configured users may not need to authenticate separately at every stage.
Destination control can group passenger requests according to dispatch logic.
Security becomes part of the normal lobby-to-elevator journey.
Explore the Technologies Behind This Project
This project combines several Infinite Systems capabilities that can also be
implemented as individual solutions or as part of a wider smart-building architecture.

Turnstile Systems
Secure pedestrian entry using speed gates, tripod turnstiles and other entrance solutions.
Turnstile + Elevator Integration
Coordinate entrance authentication with permitted elevator-access workflows.
Destination Control Integration
Connect supported access permissions with destination-control elevator workflows.
Mitsubishi Elevator Integration
Access-control integration for supported Mitsubishi elevator environments.
Elevator Access Control

Frequently Asked Questions
How does access control integrate with Mitsubishi DOAS?
In a compatible architecture, the access-control system validates the user’s
identity and permissions and communicates the authorized destination through
an approved gateway or interface to the Mitsubishi destination-control environment.
Can one credential be used for turnstiles and elevator access?
Yes, where the selected systems and integration architecture support it.
A common credential strategy can coordinate entrance access and permitted
elevator destinations from the same user profile.
Can this type of system support large office towers?
Yes. Enterprise access-control and destination-control integrations can be
designed for large populations, multiple tenant groups and high-volume lobby environments.
Can Infinite Systems implement similar elevator integrations?
Yes. Infinite Systems can assess access-control, turnstile and elevator
integration requirements based on the actual elevator platform, controllers,
gateways, software versions and project requirements.
