In the world of parking, vehicle identification by entering the licence plate is becoming more and more common. This is much more convenient for parkers as it eliminates the need to walk back to the car and leave a paper ticket. When using apps, fast touch screens and the possibility to deposit the licence plate digitally ensure a smooth process. With many parking machines, on the other hand, the input is tedious, resulting in long queues.

Not so with the latest version of the Citea parking machine from Hectronic: after entering the number plate via a comfortable and fast touchpad during the first parking process, a receipt with the digital number plate in the form of a barcode is printed out. The next time, you simply hold the barcode in front of the reader and the licence plate is registered immediately. Of course, the barcode can also be attached to cards or key rings.
