about orion entrance control

We have always believed in the American Dream and owning and operating a company that creates peace of mind for customers and employees, both in form and function.

Orion Entrance Control Inc. is the best of both worlds. At Orion, we combine craftsmanship with the locally-sourced materials on which we built our foundation. This inspires each product we manufacture. We stand by the foundational principles that products are only as good as the materials used to make them and the people who create them. Our dedication to these principles has allowed us to grow to a 40,000 square-foot facility that manufactures access control solutions for Fortune 100 companies and clients across the globe.

Since our founding in 2009, we’ve remained true to our commitment to creating peace of mind for our customers, fabrication partners, and team members. We firmly believe that this sets us apart from others in this industry. The systems Orion creates are as steadfast and enduring as our namesake.

CONVERSATIONS

The DNA of Innovation

It’s all about experimentation and discovery. We have a great conversation with two companies who have the DNA of Innovation: one a prospective vendor and the other a leading hospital.

Our risks and business are constantly evolving. We need to pursue change and not have change pursuing us. I brought these two companies together to discuss how they think, how they partner, and an exciting pilot that promises to redefine how we think about learning how our people and processes are acting and performing. They are looking to collect data from a ‘turnstile on the ceiling’; a sensor that collects presence. This data will be fed into a machine learning engine that will help management determine what actions to take to optimize people entering a building. In this case it would be applied to the problem of false alarms caused by tailgating. False alarms cost time and breaches the confidence of the technology and the security program.

Their multi-dimensional pilot is testing not only if it will work but does it have value, helping Children’s establish one more spoke in the wheel of digital transformation.

Dylan Hayes is the Cyber-Physical IT Security Manager at Seattle Children's Hospital. He is a seasoned leader, planner, and enterprise change agent with 20+ year progressive career record spanning a wide range of critical business systems and operations including enterprise risk, resilience, and response.

Mike Johnson is the Program Manager of Occupancy Sensing Solutions at Orion Entrance Controls.   He is helping lead the charge to further develop the Orion vision and bring this highly anticipated, award winning product to market that will lead the industry in friction-less security, making Access in Motion a true reality. 

From Turnstiles to a New Category called “Presence”
Steve Caroselli, the CEO of Orion, joins us to talk about the next generation of entrance controls and his unique approach to innovation in collaboration with his clients. Just when you thought you were talking about turnstiles, Steve opens our eyes and minds to a new sensor driven world.

Confronting the Fear of the Surveillance State

You hear of it all the time. When an incident occurs; a fire, an earthquake, or an active shooter, we want to know who was in the building. Or when we are working late at night in a building with heat and lighting controls, why does it not just sense my presence and adjust my section of the building accordingly? We have the technology to do both, and it is improving over time.

We had a great conversation with the Chief Product Officer of Ontic, Manish Mehta and the CEO of turnstile-based access control company Orion, Steve Caroselli, to discuss their early discussions in engaging this challenge. And in return we uncover the recognition that fear, uncertainty and doubt can radically change a market forcing innovations in technology, business models, and security.
