Sarasota, FL, and Berea, OH, April 18, 2006
- Invisa Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: INSA - News) today announced that Ohio-based PTC Industries has become the sixth major gate manufacturer to join its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) partner program. As a result, PTC Industries will now start recommending and offering dealers, distributors and end-users the opportunity to integrate Invisa's SmartGate® non-contact gate safety technology into PTC parking gate operator and control products at the time of manufacture and as an aftermarket retrofit.
Mr. Lee D. Shorts, President and CEO of PTC Industries, stated, "The drive for higher standards of gate safety is establishing great momentum and PTC is proud to play a pivotal role in leading this industry trend. We have built a 25 year reputation for manufacturing the highest quality access control products and have always been at the forefront of evaluating and integrating proven technology into our products. Invisa has challenged the industry while at the same time providing an economically sound solution, and we are now proud to offer SmartGate as a standard safety enhancement in our gate controller product line, and look forward to evaluating new technology from Invisa as it becomes available."
Invisa's line of SmartGate safety equipment is the only electronic non-contact safety system designed to provide an invisible field that moves with and precedes the gate arm. If the gate arm is coming down on a pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, car or other vehicle, the gate arm is signaled to stop and reverse before any contact has been made to avoid injury and damage.
Invisa's Chief Operating Officer, Carl Parks stated, "We are pleased and frankly not surprised that the gate industry has embraced the SmartGate solution so enthusiastically. PTC has always had the highest concern and interest in improving the safety of their products, and I find it personally gratifying to have such interest from the owners and executive management of these forward-thinking firms, as well as the safety standards organizations. With PTC joining our growing list of manufacturers committed to Invisa's OEM partner program, we believe we are well on our way to establishing SmartGate as the de facto standard for preventing injuries, property damage and liability exposure for the tens of thousands of gate operators throughout the country."
