Nippon Shokken's new factory in Chonburi, Thailand
Background
Nippon Shokken, a leading global food manufacturer, recently established a new factory in Chonburi, Thailand, to expand its production capacity in Southeast Asia. The facility experiences frequent vehicle and pedestrian traffic, including employees, delivery trucks, and visitors. Ensuring efficient and secure access at the main entrance was critical to maintaining smooth daily operations, protecting assets, and complying with safety standards. To meet these requirements, a comprehensive vehicle and pedestrian access management solution was deployed, featuring automatic retractable gates at the main entrance to provide controlled, fast, and contactless entry.
Client requirements
Reliable and fast access for logistics trucks and staff vehicles
A robust gate system suitable for 24/7 industrial operation
High resistance to Thailand’s tropical weather conditions (heat, rain, humidity)
Smooth and silent operation to reduce daily maintenance
Integration with the factory’s existing security control system
A modern design that complements the factory’s new architecture
Safe passage management to separate vehicle and pedestrian flows
Solution
After a detailed on-site assessment, QiGong Industrial Solutions designed and installed a Tianying Series Automatic Retractable Gate at the main factory entrance. This model was selected for its exceptional strength, durability, and intelligent motion control system, which allows smooth and synchronized operation even in high-frequency industrial environments.
The retractable gate features a stainless-steel body treated for corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance in Thailand’s coastal climate. It is equipped with infrared anti-collision sensors, manual emergency control, and smart locking mechanisms for enhanced safety.
To ensure efficient vehicle flow, the system was seamlessly integrated with vehicle access control terminals, enabling security staff to monitor entry and exit in real time. The gate’s elegant silver finish and minimalist structure also complement Nippon Shokken’s modern Japanese-style facility design
The installation of the Tianying retractable gate has significantly improved the security, order, and efficiency of the Nippon Shokken Chonburi plant.
The factory now enjoys:
Stable operation under all weather conditions
Faster and safer truck access during production peak hours
A cleaner, more professional corporate image at the main entrance
QiGong’s tailored solution has helped Nippon Shokken achieve the perfect balance between industrial safety, modern aesthetics, and operational efficiency — setting a new benchmark for smart factory access management in Thailand
