The other day I had been to St. Paul international airport. On that day I came across a fine piece of automation work for parking.
Let me elaborate it step by step:
1. Drive your car to the parking lot.
2. You'll be obstructed by a check gate and it'll prompt you to swipe your debit/credit card. (FYI: You need to pay for parking, depending upon the number of hours you have parked your vehicle).
3. When you swipe your debit/credit card then it'll be authenticated and the in-time is recorded. Till now you have not paid anything.
4. Now the gate will open and you can park your vehicle.
5. On your return in the EXIT, again you'll be obstructed by a check gate and it'll prompt you to swipe your debit/credit card.
6. When the card is swiped, it'll calculate the number of hours you have parked your vehicle and it'll show you the amount to be paid. When you approve the amount then it'll be charged from the debit/credit card and a receipt is printed.
Again a no-man show and automation is at its best.
Thanks,
