Security Screening Queue Design: Reduce Bottlenecks
Learn how screening portals shift delays across the checkpoint. Use queue-zone planning to reduce bottlenecks through space, staffing, and flow.

Visiontron Designs and Builds Custom 2-Tier Baggage Sizers for Southwest Airlines
As Southwest Airlines introduced a new baggage policy effective May 28, 2025, the airline needed a clear, consistent, and durable solution to help travelers identify whether their items qualify as a Carryon or Personal Item. With the new policy impacting travelers across hundreds of airports, the airline sought a standardized, easy-to-use sizing system that would simplify compliance and enhance the passenger experience at check-in and gate areas.
Cast Iron vs. Cement Bases for Crowd Control Stanchions, which should you choose?
Cast iron and cement stanchion bases can have similar finished weights, but they perform differently over time. Cast iron stanchion bases offer greater durability and resistance to leaning through dense material and self-aligning connection technology, making them ideal for high-traffic environments. Cement stanchion bases provide a lower-cost alternative for lighter-duty or temporary applications when engineered with reinforced construction and proper connection design.
These base options are available across Visiontron’s RETRACTA-BELT® stanchion systems, allowing facilities to select the right foundation based on traffic demands, environment, and budget.

Magnetic Belt Ends – Smarter, Safer Egress in Queues
Traditional belt ends are designed to lock securely into place—great for daily operations, but not ideal in an emergency. In fast-moving crowd situations like fire alarms, false security threats, or panic events, passengers don’t calmly unclip belt ends; they push through. Locked stanchions can slow evacuations, create bottlenecks, or even become tripping hazards.
Portable Bag Sizer for NFL Clear Bag Policy Compliance
Even with the NFL’s clear bag policy in place, Lucas Oil Stadium was still facing slowdowns and guest frustration at the gates.

This not only delayed entry but also created unnecessary confrontations and a less-than-ideal start to the game-day experience. The stadium needed a highly visible, portable solution to communicate the rules before guests entered the screening area.
