After seven years of quoting for this project, in numerous variations, we finally got the go ahead to fix The Pilot Inns rogue parking problem. The Pilot Inn now has a fully automated car park barrier system on a free to enter and free to exit ground loop sensor, which the exit sensor is only active for five minutes after a vehicle has entered the car park. This allows visitors to exit freely if they find the car park full on arrival. Patrons will have the keypad code, to be found on the bottom of their receipts, allowing them to let themselves out. Any rogue parkers will have to use the intercom to ask if they can be let out. Oh the shame!!!
The barriers boom is also secured in the closed position, via a magnetic lock, so there can be no vandalism to the barrier if someone is in the car park that shouldn’t have been.
It was a very long time coming but Simon & Lisa are chuffed to bits with their new car park barrier and with the ease of using it daily, updating the patron code weekly via an app on their smart device makes it a breeze.
We love it when another Cherry Plan Comes Together 🍒😍💪
