Application
Autoparking where only invited visitors and staff are allowed access.
Problems - Needs
- How to provide controlled but automatic access only to scheduled visitors/customers without complex, expensive, or intrusive access control?
- How to ensure that customers/visitors leave the parking within a maximum allowed time?
- How to prevent unwanted users from driving onto or off the parking lot?
Solution
- Invitation: Pro Users. Create and email eQR invitations.
- Entrance: Offline printer/scanner kiosk. Scan QR on smartphone or A4 sheet.
- Counter: Offline validator. Scan a valid QR invitation. Receive an exit ticket.
- Exit: Offline scanner column. Scan the exit ticket.
Scenario
Customers receive a QR invitation via email, which contains an access validity corresponding to the scheduled appointment. Upon arrival, the customer scans their electronic QR (smartphone) or printed QR at the entry pillar within this validity period. Before leaving the premises, customers have their entry ticket scanned by the validator. Only upon scanning a valid entry QR 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 can no longer leave the parking lot without requesting a new ticket.
Comment
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.
