Validation Systems

The Validation Issuing Machine ison-line with the Secom system and can be told by the Secom system and can be told by the garage manager to issue a certain number of coupons that are good on a certain day (or until a certain day) for a specific amount.  Once the coupon has been used it is removed from the system and cannot be used again.

Another application might be a theater or sports complex offering season tickets and corresponding parking.  The coupons can be programmed to work only on specific days and specific times.  They can be mailed out to the ticket holders and used as entry and exit passes only on the day specified.

This system actually issues validations in bulk, with specific values based on the requirements of the customer or operator.  For instance, an off airport location may require 500 worth $5 to five to travel agents to put in with tickets they issue.  The validation can have an expiration date and must be used propr to that date to be valid.

The validation coupons are marked as having been used, and are secured in a vault with the cashiered tickets until picked up.  A report is generated telling the garage manager just how many validation coupons of each type are in the vault so they can be properly audited and secured.

In applications where wiring on-line validators may be inconvenient, or where only a few validations are issued each day, validation coupons are the answer.  They are issued to the validating party in books, each book having a different time or money valiue of the coupon is taken into consideration when the ticket rate is computed.

This unit makes it now possible to properly validate pay on foot tickets, formerly a cumbersome and unauditable task.  Its uses include high volume grocery stores to ensure only store users get proper parking reductions, shopping malls with theaters to assist in fast lane throughput and proper auditing, and hotels with banquet validation requirements.
Other facilities that are natural users of the on-line validator include health clubs that share parking with other operations, hospitals, universities and other institutions.

Secom ON-Line validators are typically located in areas of high validation activity (theatre ticket booth, restaurant, cashier locations, etc).   When the ticket is presented for validation, it is read by the validator and its unique number is stored in the central system memory.  When the ticket is presented at exit, the amount of the validation is automatically taken into consideration when the fee is computed.

The most exotic is our validation issuing machine which actually creates validation coupons at the customers site with preprogrammed values and if you wish, expirations dates.

Our validation coupon program which used preprinted validation coupons that are assigned a value at the system, is perfect where hard wiring validator are not possible. 

Our on-line validator makes validating machine readable tickets quick and easy, and virtually theft proof.

Only Secom offers three ways to provide validations to your customers for automatic, non attended parking system.
