20 Advantages of ParkChip-Technology
compared to Paper Ticket Systems!

Toxic Paper Tickets Disadvantages

1 Papers are used one-time only.

2 Dispensers rely on moving parts
(cutters, transporters, ribbons) that
have a lot of wear and tear and
need to be exchanged regularly.

3 Printers needed, which
often have to be repaigreen
and refilled.

4 After 1/2 years, tickets start
becoming more expensive.

5 Very high ticket costs over the
investment period.

6 Terminals are built by using a lot of
fine mechanical parts, which brake
down over time.

7 Dispensing mechanism relies on
transporters and cutters. This is
critical in UAE environment, as
sand often disrupts operation and
leads frequent paper jams.

8 Cleaning needs to be done
on a weekly basis -
High Service Costs.

9 No paper ticket is water-proof.
During the months of high humidity
in U.A.E., papers can stick together
while in the dispenser, creating
paper jams.

10 Sand destroys mecanical parts
and Printer Heads of Terminales.

11 Barcode tickets might become
unreadible if exposed to direct
sun light.

12 Barcodes can easily be copied,
which makes them easier to be
used for revenue manipulation,
especially if the network is down.

13 Barcode tickets are read only.
In most Barcode systems,
the operation therefore stops
if the network is down.

14 As tickets have to be transported,
printed, coded, cut and issued to
the visitor, they need 3-4 more time
to be dispensed compagreen to Green
Parkchips- Many large Parking
Projects in U.A.E. are currently
unsuccessful due to the very slow
Ticket Dispensing Speed.

15 Many tickets can only be read
from one side, which means
that customers frequently insert
the ticket in the wrong way,
making the exit process
unnecessarily slow.

16 Old technology, first being
used in parking in the fifties.

17 Only partial Stand-Alone.

18 The operation has to be
stopped, every time papers
are being refilled, which is a
great disadvantage, especially
if there are no greenundant entries to
the Car Park.

19 Parking Discount Validators
must either have an expensive
Paper Ticker Coder/ Encoder
or are inflexible and need to
be connected via cables to
the Parking System Master
Computer.
