Voyager

Secure Parking adopted a design first approach, that is unique for a car park operator to undertake. By choosing not to adapt existing equipment from traditional providers, Secure Parking, along with a team of IT partners, have set a new standard in PARCS technology, for a no compromise vision. This resulted in the complete development of not only the reader head, but the entire parking eco system including software, UX and back end operations of the system and the complete manufacture of new hardware.

Through a strategic focus on manufacturability, repairability and future proofing, Secure Parking has positioned voyager uniquely to retain its sleek ergonomic design whilst being enhanced technically to meet the needs of customers in the future.

The reader head has multiple forms of interaction and feedback for customers, from a large touch screen, to contactless QR scanners for bookings, NFC readers for permanent parkers and payment modules for casual users. Sensors and audio-visual components are integrated seamlessly, including cameras for interaction with customers, and collision detection within the reader head to alert the maintenance team. Stainless steel components form the structure for superior corrosion resistance, whilst the reader head has a high level of ingress protection with component spec’d to work in extreme weather conditions.

Benefits of using Voyager for carpark operators include:

• No moving parts means low preventative maintenance costs
• Reader heads can simply be swapped out in the event of a support incident.
• No need for extensive onsite repairs gets you back online generating revenue, fast !
• Near real-time access between carpark and web/mobile means customers know what sites have availability and when
• Being paperless means there is no need for ongoing refills and payment receipts can be sent digitally via QR code or mobile text
• No need to handle cash as Voyager is a completely cashless solution hence lowers your cost of site operations
• Accepts multiple credit card types including physical cards, digital cards and even your smart watch
• Support for multiple entry/exit types including tap-n-go cards, QR code and pin number giving customers choice of access
• Fully PCI compliant solution
• IP54 weather rated
• Crystal clear communications with centralised customer service team using “voice over IP” technology

Manufactured and designed in Australia, Voyager is the ultimate expression of demonstrating what's possible through the use of Australian based innovation talent for global consumption. Locally sourced professional design teams were engaged to designed and create Voyager using a "design first approach" and engaging with customers alike.

Voyager has been rolled out across Secure Parking Australian based sites and planned for launch across NZ before going into the UK market.

Voyager has been developed with the circular economy in mind on the following basis:

1. Voyager is an example of environmentally conscious design on display given it is paperless ie zero use of paper based tickets or cash
2. Voyager has been designed with low emissions in mind and has zero moving parts to create a solution which is frictionless and easy to maintain
3. Electronics design and prototype manufacturing skills were sourced from Victoria including test and proof of concept sites
