Core offering

Total Automation Group (TAG) designs, manufactures, integrates, and maintains high-security vehicle barriers, bollards, automated gates, and integrated access control point (ACP) systems for U.S. government, military, and commercial clients worldwide. The company combines proprietary control software (TAGlink), intelligent detection systems (iLOOP, iDETECT, TGS), and full lifecycle services — installation, maintenance, consulting, and design — to deliver certified, anti-ram perimeter security solutions.

Product overview

Total Automation Group (TAG) offers a comprehensive portfolio of perimeter security and access control point solutions, combining proprietary hardware barriers with intelligent control systems. The core offering includes vehicle barriers (wedge barriers, drop arm barriers, portable barriers), bollards (fixed and operable), and gates (bi-fold and automated). These physical security products are integrated through TAG's proprietary TAGlink Perimeter Management System, which unifies vehicle barriers, gates, signs, signals, and detection systems into a single programmable access control platform. Supporting products include Traffic Control Units (TCU), Intelligent Power Units (IPU), Touchscreen Controls, Portable Technician Kits (PTK), and Barrier Data Link systems. Detection capabilities are provided through the patented iLOOP Intelligent Loop Detector, iDETECT Overspeed & Wrong Way Detection, TGS Anti-Tailgating System, and Under Vehicle Inspection System (UVIS). TAG provides services including design, supply, installation, and maintenance of these systems globally.

Products and services

• Wedge Barriers Rise-from-ground, crash-rated vehicle barriers designed to stop vehicle-borne threats and integrated as part of an access control point; used at U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Embassies, airports, data centers, nuclear power plants, and large commercial venues.
• Drop Arm Barriers Drop-arm vehicle barriers that physically block vehicle access and integrate with TAG's overall access control point systems, used to protect federal, military, and high-value commercial sites.
• Portable Barriers Portable, deployable vehicle barrier systems intended for temporary or rapidly reconfigurable anti-ram applications, supporting TAG's perimeter-security and access control point deployments.
• Fixed Bollards Permanent, fixed anti-ram bollards installed as part of a hardened perimeter or pedestrian/vehicle separation at TAG's federal, aviation, data center, utility, and venue customer sites.
• Operable Bollards Retractable or otherwise operable bollards that allow authorized vehicle passage through an otherwise hardened anti-ram perimeter, integrated with TAG's access control point systems.
• Bi-fold Gates Bi-folding vehicle gates engineered for wide, high-traffic perimeter openings that need rapid anti-ram closure and integration into an automated access control point.
• Automated Gates Automated vehicle gates sold and integrated with TAG's other perimeter-security products as part of a complete access control point solution for federal, commercial, and critical-infrastructure sites.
• TAGlink Perimeter Management System Proprietary perimeter management software platform that operates, monitors, and integrates TAG's barriers, gates, and detection devices into a unified access control point, with features including trending cycle counts, data archival and reporting, and AI-assisted detection.
• Traffic Control Unit (TCU) Hardware traffic control unit that operates as part of an integrated access control point, coordinating vehicle flow with TAG's barriers, gates, and detection systems.
• Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) Proprietary intelligent power unit that powers and supports reliable operation of TAG's barrier, gate, and integrated access control point systems.
• Touchscreen Operator Controls Custom touch-screen operator controls providing security personnel with the human-machine interface to monitor and run TAG's access control point systems.
• iLOOP Intelligent Inductive-Loop Vehicle Detector In-house, patented intelligent inductive-loop vehicle detector (U.S. Patent No. 9,683,712) used at TAG access control points to detect and classify vehicles driving over the loop.
• iDETECT Overspeed and Wrong-Way Vehicle Detection System AI-assisted detection system that identifies vehicles approaching too fast or from the wrong direction at an access control point, enabling rapid operator or automated response.
• TGS Anti-Tailgating System In-house anti-tailgating detection system designed to prevent unauthorized vehicles from following an authorized vehicle through a TAG access control point, tightening checkpoint integrity.
• Under Vehicle Inspection System (UVIS) Under-vehicle inspection system deployed at TAG access control points to screen the underside of vehicles for threats and contraband during ingress.
• Portable Technician Kit (PTK) Portable technician kit used by TAG field service personnel to support installation, commissioning, and maintenance of barrier and access control point systems in the field.
• Barrier Data Link (BDL) System Barrier Data Link communications system that links field barrier and access control hardware with TAG's control electronics and TAGlink software for monitoring and diagnostics.
• Installation Services Turnkey installation services for TAG's barriers, bollards, gates, and integrated access control point systems across federal, commercial, and critical-infrastructure sites.
• Maintenance Services Ongoing preventive and corrective maintenance services delivered through TAG's regional service divisions (TAG East, TAG Texas) to keep deployed barriers, bollards, gates, and access control points operational.
• Consulting Services Consulting services that help U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Embassy, airport, data center, nuclear power plant, and large commercial customers scope and design high-security perimeter and access control point programs.
• Design Services Engineering design services spanning barrier, bollard, gate, and integrated access control point programs, supporting TAG's role as both manufacturer and system designer for federal, commercial, and critical-infrastructure customers.
