Customers pay for parking directly at the store checkout along with their purchase, without needing to visit the payment station. Ideal for malls, retail centers, and large-format stores.
Self-management module with AI at no additional cost. Proactive diagnostics, automatic alerts, remote barrier operation, transaction-based video recording, and plate/date/time investigations.
We cover the most common damage in parking facilities: broken barrier arms. 3 replacements per lane per year included in the service, with photographic evidence, at no additional cost.
No limit on corrective visits. SLA with guaranteed response times: critical failure 4 business hours, major failure 8 hours, minor failure 24 hours. Complete monthly preventive maintenance.
Two business models to fit your budget: direct equipment purchase or monthly leasing with full service included. Financial flexibility for any size operation.
All equipment is manufactured by Automated Machines. Galvanized steel (Base) or stainless steel (Plus) enclosures. Customizable design with your corporate branding. Built for 24/7 outdoor operation.
The same hardware supports all 3 modes. The difference is a software configuration that can be changed remotely without modifying the installed equipment.
Vehicle takes a QR ticket at the entry console. Pays at the APS (cash, cards, NFC, QR), at an attended POS, or at the store checkout with retail POS integration. Exits by presenting the ticket at the exit console.
LPR-only (license plate recognition). The vehicle enters automatically when its plate is recognized with 98% OCR accuracy. No tickets, no driver interaction required. Fully automated entry and exit.
LPR as primary method + ticket as fallback + Face Parking for driver identification. Maximum security and flexibility. Recognizes plate, validates driver face, and records everything with transaction-based video.

Frictionless payments. Our Automated Payment Stations process credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), contactless NFC payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay, bills and coins with automatic change, and QR codes from digital wallets.
For frequent parkers, our Contactless mode with LPR license plate recognition allows access without stopping: the camera identifies the plate, validates the registered user, and the barrier opens automatically. No tickets, no additional devices needed.
A parking access control system manages vehicle entry and exit at parking facilities. It includes entry consoles that issue QR tickets, exit consoles that validate them to authorize barrier opening, automated payment stations (APS) where drivers pay with bills, coins, credit/debit cards, or QR codes, barriers with LPR cameras that recognize license plates with 98% accuracy, and AI-powered monitoring software. Automated Machines manufactures and supports all of these components.
The investment depends on the number of lanes and desired level of automation. We offer direct purchase with a 2-year warranty and monthly leasing for 3, 4, or 5 years with full service included. Contact our sales team for a customized quote tailored to your facility's specific needs.

Includes a searchable face database and full privacy compliance documentation.
