i+D3 - Solutions for parkings. Stand 143

After our participation in the Amsterdam edition this year, from i+D3 we will present ourselves again with many and new developments at Intertraffic Mexico, in the parking exhibition.These novelties are focused on technological solutions for parkings, with a focus on the use of new technologies and online services to increase control and security in parkings. These are the novelties you can find if you visit our stand:

Online anti-fraud system for small parkings

Most of the parkings in Mexico and other Latin American countries are mostly small facilities that suffer money losses daily. This is due to the multiple frauds and thefts by their employees or the vehicles themselves, since they do not have a system that records all the accesses that occur to it. It is undoubtedly a large drain on profits, making the business a bottomless pit.The Online anti-fraud system is focused on these small parkings, in order to definitively end these frauds and increase security. For this, online software and hardware join hands to offer an automation of accesses and billing, carrying out a permanent and exhaustive online audit and control.

Parking access via mobile app

The technological evolution and the use of the mobile phone in recent years has meant a real change in how people interact and carry out different activities in their day to day. And the parking sector does not escape this demand.At our stand we will present the latest novelty in apps for parkings, with multiple functionalities that will make parking easier for drivers. Among them, the most notable novelty is the access to the parking lot via Bluetooth, opening the barrier through the mobile and paying for the stay from it, forgetting both the tickets and the ATMs in the rotation parking. An app is undoubtedly an effective tool to retain users and attract potential customers.

3ParkOnline: Online services for parkings

With the aim of modernizing parkings and improving their operation, we present at Intertraffic Mexico 3ParkOnline, a parking system that brings all the potential of "the cloud" to parkings.The system includes multiple online services designed to improve control, capture, and automation. These services are modular, that is, they are optional and adaptable for each parking lot and its needs. These modules are:

• Online control module. A remote panel that will help to monitor, control, manage, supervise, and monitor the parking lot, at any time and place. It reports alarms, a list of live accesses, or the status of the installed equipment, among many other functionalities.
• Capture and loyalty module. Focused on getting more and new sales through a personalized website. The parking lot will be able to receive reservations and attract new users interested in its offer.
• Automation module. Combination of hardware and software for automatic access to the parking lot, using Bluetooth technology or license plate recognition.

S200: The most compact entry column on the market

Finally, in terms of hardware, i+D3 presents for the first time its new parking equipment: a parking entry column with an integrated LPR camera. It is undoubtedly an equipment that has been able to read the needs of the parking sector with a view to the future, including in a small steel body technologies that allow multiple access methods, such as Bluetooth for access via app, RFID technology, barcode reader, or the traditional ticket.But without a doubt, one of its most notable features is the inclusion of an LPR camera, recognizing the license plates of vehicles traveling on the opposite lane.
