QR ticket IN/OUT with semi-auto validation (1) (offline)

Application

All businesses that provide parking for customers arriving by car, but also welcome customers arriving on foot or by bike.

Problems - Needs

• How to limit access for customers, visitors, suppliers, and staff without complex, expensive, or invasive access control?
• How to prevent pedestrians and cyclists from receiving exit tickets and passing them on to parking abusers?
• How to ensure that customers/visitors leave the parking lot within a maximum allowed time?
• How to prevent someone from driving onto or off the parking space without visiting the business?

Solution

1

Entrance

Offline printer column
Take a ticket. Drive in.

2

Cash register - Counter

Offline validator
Scan a valid entry ticket. Receive an exit ticket.

3

Exit

Offline scanner column
Scan the validated QR ticket in time.

Workflow

Visitors take a QR ticket at the entrance, which contains the date and time of arrival in the QR code. Before leaving the facility, customers have their entry ticket scanned by the validator. Only when a valid entry ticket is scanned does the validator print an exit ticket with limited validity for the exit scanner (for example, 30 minutes, one-time use). Once the validity period has expired, people cannot leave the parking lot without requesting a new ticket.

Comments

• All the above products operate offline/standalone.
• The validator and the exit scanner retrieve the validity from the QR, without any form of data communication. 230 V is sufficient.
• This solution implies that an exit ticket can only be obtained in exchange for an entry ticket. Cyclists/pedestrians do not receive an entry ticket and therefore cannot pass it on.
• Offline reports are available via the validator. However, connect the validator to the internet and generate online reports regarding all events while the entry and exit controllers operate offline.

QR ticket IN/OUT with manual cash register (offline)

Application

Retailers, liberal professionals, garage owners, town halls, and other businesses with a car park that is also used (or misused) by non-customers or unauthorized users.

Problem/Need

• How to limit access for customers, visitors, suppliers, and staff without complex, expensive, or intrusive access control?
• How to avoid hidden abusers who park for a long time in exchange for a (too) small purchase, without installing a paid parking system?
• How to ensure that pedestrians and cyclists do not receive an exit ticket that they can pass on to parking abusers?
• How to ensure that customers and visitors leave the parking within a maximum allowed time?
• How to prevent someone from driving onto or off the parking lot without visiting the store?

1

Entrance

Offline printer terminal
Take a ticket. Drive in.

2

Checkout - Counter

Offline APD validator
Scan a valid entry ticket. Receive an exit ticket.

3

Exit

Offline scanner kiosk
Scan the QR payment receipt in time

Scenario

People take a QR ticket at the entrance that includes the date and time of arrival. Before leaving, customers have their entry ticket scanned by the APD. In the case of a valid entry ticket, the APD automatically prints an exit ticket. In the case of an expired entry ticket, the APD displays an amount due and prints a payment receipt that serves as the exit ticket (for example, 30 minutes, one-time use). Once the validity period of the QR payment receipt has expired, people can no longer leave the parking lot without going back to the cashier.

Comment

• All the above products operate offline/standalone.
• The APD and the exit scanner retrieve the validity from the QR, without any form of data communication. 230 V is sufficient.
• Offline reports are available via the APD. However, connect the APD to the internet and generate online reports regarding all events while the entry and exit controllers continue to operate offline.
• If you also wish to access the entrance and exit columns via the LAN/internet and want reports about them, choose the Scan&Go PRO columns. Contact us for more info.

Scan the QR of receipts, order confirmations, ...

Application

All situations where a scanner must be compatible with a third-party 1D/2D code. For example, the self-scan checkout of a supermarket, a doctor's practice that confirms an online booked appointment by email, ...

Problems - Needs

How to make the scanner easily compatible with a third-party code structure (that was not generated by DAS)? How to configure this compatibility in less than one minute?

Solution

1

Self-scan checkout

Scan your goods, receive a payment receipt.

2

Exit

Offline scanner terminal with activated "QR-FLEX" option

Scenario

Customers scan their purchases at the self-scan checkout and receive a receipt with a barcode or QR code that contains the date and time of the transaction. They then proceed to the self-scan exit, where they scan the receipt at the standalone QR-Flex scanner. The gate opens only if the scanned 1D/2D code is valid and matches the pre-configured code structure of the receipt.

Comments

• The exit scanner retrieves the validity from the QR, without any form of data communication. 230 V is all you need.
• This solution is also available in an online version. Contact us for more information.

Counter

Offline validator
Scan a valid QR invitation. Receive an exit ticket.

4

Exit

Offline scanner
Scan the exit ticket

Scenario

Customers receive a QR invitation via email, which includes a validity period for access corresponding to the scheduled appointment. Upon arrival, the customer scans their electronic QR (smartphone) or printed QR at the entry column within this validity period. Before leaving, customers have their entry ticket scanned by the validator. Only upon scanning a valid entry QR does the validator print an exit ticket with a limited validity for the exit scanner (e.g., 30 minutes, one-time use). Once the validity period has expired, individuals cannot leave the parking lot without requesting a new ticket.

Comments

• All the above products operate offline/standalone.
• The validator and the exit scanner extract the validity from the QR code without any form of data communication. 230 V is sufficient.
• Offline reports are available via the validator. However, connect the validator to the internet and generate online reports regarding all events, while the entry and exit controllers still operate offline.
• If you also want to access the entry and exit column via LAN/internet and wish to have reports about it, choose Scan&Go PRO columns. Contact us for more information.
• This installation configuration is also available in a completely ticketless variant. Contact us for more info.

ANPR including a validation step ...

Problems - Needs

• How to ensure that visitors leave the parking lot with minimal time loss at the exit barrier?
• How to avoid unwanted users without complex, expensive, or intrusive access control?
• How to prevent pedestrians and cyclists from receiving exit tickets and passing them on to parking abusers?
• How to ensure that customers/visitors leave the parking within a maximum allowed time?
• How to prevent someone from driving onto or off the parking lot without visiting the business?

Solution

1

Entry

Printer column - Camera

2

Counter

LAN-validator
Scan a valid entry ticket

3

Exit

LAN camera
Drive timely to the exit. Leave the parking using ANPR.

Workflow

People take a QR ticket at the entrance, which contains the date, the arrival time, and the license plate. Before leaving, visitors scan their entry ticket at the networked validator. Only with a valid entry ticket does the validator activate the license plate for the exit column via the data network (for example, 30 minutes, one-time use).

Comments

• During the validation, it suffices to scan entry tickets to activate flawless license plates for the exit, without relying on human discipline or input on a touchscreen.
• The above products are connected to the LAN and optionally to the internet. A network connection is not necessary for the printer column.
• We recommend providing intercom at the exit.
• Validation can also be done at our validation kiosk. Contact us for more information.
• This concept can also be combined with pay-on-foot and pay-in-lane payment terminals. Contact us for more info.

Problems - Needs

• How to avoid unwanted users without complex, costly, or intrusive access control?
• How to ensure that visitors leave the parking with minimal delay at the exit barrier?
• How to prevent pedestrians and cyclists from getting exit tickets and passing them on to parking violators?

2

Counter

Validator

3

Exit

Scanner column - Camera

Workflow

People take a QR ticket at the entrance, which contains the date, the time of arrival, and the license plate. Before leaving the premises, visitors scan their entry ticket at the networked validator. Only with a valid entry ticket does the validator activate the license plate and the QR for the exit kiosk via the data network (for example, 30 minutes, one-time use).

Comments

• All of the above products are connected to the LAN and optionally to the internet.
• Optionally, the scanner column can be replaced with a master camera, intercom, or pay station. Contact us for more information.
• Validation can also be done at our validation kiosk. Contact us for more info.
• The exit barrier opens by default on ANPR scan. The QR serves as a redundant solution in case the ANPR scan fails.

Ticketless revenue parking ...

Application

Commercial properties, office buildings, government buildings, supermarkets, shopping centers, etc., with excess parking capacity.

Problems - Needs

• How can long-term parkers pay without a complex, expensive, and invasive parking system?
• How to allow short-term parkers/customers to park for free or at a reduced rate?
• How to avoid distributing entry tickets?
• How to ensure that the payment terminal recognizes license plates correctly without scanning entry tickets and without manually entering the license plate?
• How to provide a payment receipt while the payment kiosk is paperless?

Solution

1

Entry

Master camera

2

Exit

Pay-in-lane - Slave camera
Automatically drive outside on ANPR. Pay if necessary.

Scenario

The Master ANPR camera opens the entry barrier after scanning the license plate. When the same license plate presents itself at the exit within the free period, the exit barrier opens automatically. If this happens after the free period, the payment kiosk first shows the amount due. After a valid payment, the payment kiosk opens the exit barrier and displays a QR code. Scanning this QR code automatically triggers the download of an electronic payment receipt to the smartphone.

Comments

• With the 'eReceipt' service, a physical printer in the aforementioned payment terminal is redundant. This saves both the purchase and maintenance costs of the printer as well as the costs for paper purchase and replacement.
• All of the above products are connected to the LAN. An internet connection is optional except for the payment kiosk.
• Place at least one DAS-IDUD in the store and determine who exits the parking lot for free or at a lower rate. Contact us for more information.
• Validation can also be done via a validation kiosk. Contact us for more info.
• If desired, the exit payment kiosk can still be equipped with a thermal printer so that both electronic and physical payment receipts can be issued.
• No paper tickets are distributed at the entrance or the exit. This installation is therefore almost maintenance-free.

If this occurs after the validity period, the payment terminal displays an amount due.

Comments

• All the above products are connected to the LAN. An internet connection is optional except for the payment kiosk.
• The above payment terminal can also be placed at the exit (next to the exit camera), but this is not recommended during busy peak times. This payment terminal is available in a paperless version. Contact us for more info.

When leaving, visitors print an exit ticket using the desktop printer located in the same corridor, return to their vehicle, and scan the ticket at the exit column to leave the parking facility. If the host is unavailable, visitors can exit the facility by scanning their entry ticket at the exit column, provided it is still within the validity period indicated in the QR code.

Comments

• The exit ticket for visitors can also be distributed at our pedestrian printer kiosk. Contact us for more info.
• For the residents, the identification technology RFID can be replaced by ANPR.
