Parking systems are some of the most modern solutions that enterprises can take advantage of. Even if most of the people in the country commute instead of use a car to work, those who do will have an easier time finding a place to park their cars.
It’s something that has been implemented in a lot of first world countries and it has definitely increased safety capacity, and efficiency of parking spaces. Parking systems are a necessity in the hustle and bustle of the city.
For those of you who are not as convinced as most are on the effectiveness of parking spaces, here’s a short discussion about them!
What are Parking Systems?
A parking system is a sequence of machinery, primarily including a primary hub and several extensions such as detectors and turnstiles, that helps make parking areas organized.
In the Philippines, this will usually be found in hotels, malls, and large commercial complexes. This helps filter the people who can use the parking spaces to those with authority, or those who are willing to pay for it.
The integration of parking systems into one’s company will surely ease the pain out of searching for parking spaces or going to work early just so you will still find a parking space near your building.
For companies, these parking systems automate the need for people to guard parking spaces. With just a handful of guards that will patrol the area instead of multiple people just to keep an eye of rows and rows of cars, the company can reallocate their resources elsewhere.
Even with the fewer manpower, parking systems make parking areas safer.
Bear in mind that most of the time, these parking systems are installed in parking buildings or basements of commercial establishments. There will only be one way in and out of it. One or two gates is enough to prevent any kind of malicious activities from happening.
This keeps all of the vehicles safe from any outside force.
Types of Parking Systems
In the Philippines, the main kind of parking system available are car park management systems. These are used for either paid parking or restricted parking. Hotels and malls generally use them for pay parking, while corporations and office spaces often use restricted parking systems.
A more modern version of the parking system makes use of advanced construction and technologies to build an essentially rotating parking tower. It’s essentially a vertical building that has a large mechanism specifically for parking. Think of automated shelves for vehicles. It saves space, is incredibly secure and almost fully automated!
What makes Parking Systems Effective?
Some people would say that parking systems are nothing special. That they’re not needed in the grand scale of things. These people can’t see the importance of organization and automation. Just these two alone will make the lives of companies easier. What exactly makes parking systems so important? Here are some specifics.
- Automation and Innovation – parking systems integrate the simple parking space with the grandeur of technology. Most of these systems have been studied and changed to answer the need for those who use it. Be it residential or commercial use, parking systems can be adapted accordingly.
- Ease of Use – after installation, the parking system basically runs itself. it only needs one or two people to monitor the situation and the rest is history. Authorities and vehicle owners can learn how it works relatively easily.
it’s flexibility also makes it very convenient to use.
- Ease of Maintenance – because of it’s generally simple layout and machines, parking systems are not prone to any damages or malfunctions. When it happens, it’s fairly easy to fix.
- Cost-Effectiveness – parking systems require very little manpower. You will save money that you will pay as a salary to those people if you didn’t install a parking system in the first place.
- Security – probably the most significant thing that makes parking systems just that much effective is the additional security that it provides. It can be in the form of limiting the people that can enter or exit the parking area or monitor the whole parking area with surveillance cameras.
Key Takeaway
Parking systems are essential for a lot of companies. Hotels, hospitals, office buildings, and commercial spaces benefit from the, the most. They’re very important, especially in the Philippines, because they reduce the number of people who just park anywhere, they can and limit the people who can park in designated parking spaces.
The effectiveness of parking systems is relative, but for the niche that needs an organized, safe, and large parking area, it’s a necessity. Its effectiveness can be found in the way it increases security, it organizes the parking area, it lessens the manpower needed, and how easy it is for operators and visitors to use!
