An automation team that specifies, installs and stands behind the system
DK IT AND AUTOMATION SERVICES is a Pune-based vehicle access control and security automation business. We supply automatic and manual boom barriers as manufacturers, suppliers, exporters, traders and dealers, and we deliver the survey, installation, integration and maintenance that turn equipment into a working entry.
Our work sits at the point where a physical gate meets a decision about who is allowed through it. That decision can be as simple as a guard pressing a button, or as involved as a long-range RFID reader identifying a registered vehicle, an access controller checking it against a register, and the barrier lifting before the driver has to slow down. We build both, and everything between.
We concentrate on one field rather than spreading across unrelated trades. That focus is deliberate: boom barriers and access control fail in specific, repeatable ways — poor foundations, undersized duty ratings, readers mounted at the wrong height, safety devices treated as optional — and a team that sees those problems regularly is better placed to avoid them.
Automatic and manual barriers for entries of every size, with boom lengths and duty ratings chosen for the lane rather than for the invoice. Where a barrier already exists and is mechanically sound, we will say so and quote a repair or an upgrade instead of a replacement.
Automatic barriers suit gates where vehicles arrive faster than a person can respond, or where the entry is unmanned for part of the day. Manual barriers remain a sensible, low-maintenance answer for standby lanes, service gates and lightly used entries with a guard on duty. We offer both and recommend honestly.
Barriers are rarely the whole requirement. Card readers, long-range UHF readers, controllers, push buttons, safety beam sensors and loop detectors decide how the barrier behaves and what gets recorded. We specify these as one system so that credentials, control and safety work together instead of being bolted on later.
Four stages, each producing something you can check before the next begins. The full sequence is set out in our process.
Every enquiry starts with questions rather than a quotation. How many vehicles use the entry in its busiest half hour? Is the gate manned at 2am? How wide is the lane once kerbs and drainage are accounted for? Are there pedestrians and two-wheelers in the same opening? Those answers change the specification far more than brand preference does.
Once the site is understood we propose a specific arrangement: barrier type, boom length, drive rating, control method, safety devices and any integration with equipment already installed. You get the reasoning as well as the price, so the decision is yours to check rather than ours to assert.
Our engineers handle foundation and mounting, conduit and cable routing, terminations at the controller, reader positioning and commissioning. We cycle the barrier under realistic conditions, verify safety devices with real vehicles, and train whoever operates the gate before handover.
A barrier at a busy entry cycles thousands of times a month. Planned servicing — alignment and balance checks, lubrication, electrical terminations, sensor and reader verification — costs far less than the queue at your gate when a drive fails mid-cycle. We keep a service record per barrier so the next visit starts from what was found last time.
Alongside domestic supply and installation we act as exporters and traders for the equipment we know: boom barriers, long-range UHF readers, access controllers, RFID credentials, safety beam sensors and road blockers. Export orders are quoted against a requirement list and destination, with documentation and packing arranged per consignment.
Export orders sit alongside our domestic product and service range. Trading has a practical benefit for local customers too. Because we handle equipment beyond what we install ourselves, we can source spares and alternatives for installations we did not originally supply, which is often what makes a repair viable instead of a replacement.
A large share of our work is not new supply at all. It is a barrier installed years ago by somebody else that now fails intermittently, closes on vehicles, or cannot keep up with traffic that has doubled since it was fitted. That work begins with a paid inspection: we dismantle far enough to establish the condition of the drive, gearbox, controller and boom mountings, and we check spare availability before quoting anything.
The outcome is one of three recommendations, and we say which plainly. Repair, where the housing and mountings are sound. Upgrade — usually RFID, a faster drive or proper safety devices — where the mechanics will carry the added duty. Or replacement, where they will not, in which case you get the numbers rather than an assertion. The full sequence is set out in our six-stage process, and the reasoning behind these judgements in our technical guides.
Being based in Pune is a practical advantage rather than a marketing line: it is what makes a same-week survey or service visit realistic for sites across the city, Dattwadi, Chinchwad, Pimpri Chinchwad and Hinjewadi. We also take on project work elsewhere in Maharashtra and supply equipment for export.
We publish no invented installation counts, awards, certifications or client lists. What we will tell you is what we specify, how we install it and how we support it — the rest you can judge from the survey.
