Gate automation eliminates the necessity of manually operating a gate by replacing it with the use of electric motors. This technological advancement streamlines the process of opening and closing gates, providing convenience and efficiency to users.

The process of opening and closing the gate can be simplified by utilizing a mobile app or employing a RFID reader that detect the presence of a person or vehicle nearby with a valid credential. Alternatively, one can simply press a transmitter to operate the gate. Additional technologies, such as telephone entry systems or video doorbells, can also be integrated into the gate to allow visitors to request access to the property.
