Introducing Autonix Parking System
Our Parking Guidance System (PGS) is here to make parking a breeze. No more circling around – our system helps you quickly find an available parking space without the hassle. With fewer turns and less searching, you'll be on your way in no time.
Easy Parking Spot Finding: Our system guides you to open parking spots effortlessly. It even displays the number of available spots on each level or section.
Clear Directions: Optional displays with directional arrows guide you to areas with more available spots
Smart Sensors: Every parking spot has an ultrasonic sensor that detects if it's occupied. A visual indicator with dual-color lights lets you know if a spot is free.
360-Degree Visibility: Our indicator lights can be seen from any angle, making it easy to spot open spots, even if they're partially hidden
Two Sensor Variants:
Overhead Slot Sensor (SSM): Positioned above the parking spot, ideal for single-spaced bays. Combined with an external Slot Status Indicator (SSI) for clear visibility.
Unitized Slot Sensor (SLM): Positioned within the parking spot, providing accurate detection.
Both sensor types are securely installed using sturdy conduits.
Say goodbye to parking struggles and hello to stress-free parking!
