What are bollards?
Bollards are vertical metallic posts which are placed as a barricading to restrict the entry, although this was more popular in ancient times, yet, today we find the application of static bollards in places where we only have to allow the entry of two-wheelers or parking area etc.
State of the art technology has affected various walks of life and bollards have also undergone a huge transformation since the first time they came into existence. Today we have automatic bollards which are electronically controlled and are sensor based. Some of the most advanced version works in real-time which reduces the probability of manual error and are highly efficient.
