New car
parking system for airport
‘drop off’ areas
DESIGNA UK, the manufacturers of PM ABACUS Pay on Foot parking systems, has now extended its range and is able to offer parking equipment for ‘Drop off’ areas at airports.
The new system consists of a barrier, ANPR camera and loops at both the entry and exit of the ‘Drop off’ area. In addition, at the exit, there is a payment terminal to enable drivers to make a payment directly from their vehicle.
Thus, when a vehicle arrives at the entry, it drives over the loops. An image of the licence plate number is taken by the ANPR camera and the barrier opens. On exit, payment can be made by cash into a basket or by credit card using Chip & Pin. If payment is made by cash, then the coins, after being placed in the basket, will be passed by a coin separator onto a coin validator and then into a lockable coin box. Upon receipt of the correct amount, a signal is sent to lift the barrier. However if defective coins or foreign objects are inserted, they are returned in the coin tray The heart of the system is DESIGNA’s newly designed compact Payment Terminal, which features a basket for coin collection, a coin validator, a receipt printer and a credit card reader including Chip & Pin. The ‘Drop off’ system is designed to function either as a stand-alone unit or networked to an airport parking system. A number of intelligent features are included in the system software. The ANPR cameras at entry and exit take the vehicle number plate. If the vehicle has been in the ‘Drop off’ area for longer than the specified time, then the server will alert the back office and the back office can obtain the address of the registered owner from the DVLA. The vehicle owner will then be sent an invoice for a much larger amount as a penalty for overstaying the time allowed. The sophisticated software also allows the benefit of reporting on the number of payments, income and the number of overpayments.

New Key Differ Database Improves Iso-Lok Efficiency
Castell Safety International has launched an improved and more efficient padlock differ recording database for its Iso-Lok range of lockout tagout (LOTO) products.
The Iso-Lok padlock range is designed to uphold the integrity of the user’s LOTO safety system by guaranteeing that each padlock on any one site is unique – that each one ‘differs’ from the others so that it can only be unlocked by the specific key meant for it. This is achieved by supplying each padlock with a distinct barrel which has a differ (key) number associated with that barrel.
Every differ number is stored on the Iso-Lok database, referenced against the
customer and the site it was delivered to. This enables the company to very simply and reliably identify differs previously supplied in the past, and therefore prevent any padlock differ duplication. Iso-Lok is the only company to automatically record differs on a site or company-wide basis rather than just per order, ensuring the validity of and enhancing their customers’ safety systems over time. The newly developed database allows the company to process orders more efficiently, trace differs per site more easily, and gather more data more quickly – further improving on the already uniquely beneficial system.
Neal Partridge, Castell’s Head of Quality, commented: “The main advantage of this system is that it records the actual operatives and the entries they make into the database, which provides a greater level of verification and validation, and minimises errors. The integrity of this new system has helped to further improve our Quality Assurance process for Iso-Lok padlocks.” Email:
