Product information
Off-Street
PKE and PKM Lines
A common main feature in PKE and PKM is that the automatic cashier is not only a payment terminal but also a complete multifunctional station. With a compact design and the latest technology the Automatic Payment Station can work as a manual cashier, so users can purchase parking products, get discounts, or use promotions. Advertising can be included, too.
Both lines provide a low maintenance solution whilst maintaining efficiency during the demand required by high operation facilities. The Car Park Central Unit can be installed in the Automatic Payment Station, so the system becomes more robust and secure, always working (because when the communication with the Cloud Services fails, the Central Unit keeps controlling the car park system). This embedded Central Unit consists of an industrial solid-state disk computer located inside an Automatic Payment Station, so no additional control room is required any longer and the system can easily work remotely attended.
Thanks to the Multi-Car Park Platform, car parks situated across the globe can be managed by just one employee located anywhere, using a Smartphone or a Tablet.
All machines are European DDA-ADA standards EN 301 549 compliance.
PKE Line
A fusion of Italian style and Spanish ingenuity, CAME Parkare’s first joint venture parking system, PKE, combines the CAME PS-One and Parkare Elegance systems with the latest technology to create a powerful, high-end parking system, that will offer a new dimension to the parking industry.
CAME Parkare offers both thermal paper roll (QR, barcode, etc.) and magnetic strip ticket technology. Machines can work full-time due to the 2 printers' redundancy with a High MTBF ratio (Mean Time Between Failures).
With the addition of a Pay On Exit terminal using credit card payment facilities and also the Card In/Card Out system, which allows users to get in and out of the car park without a ticket, just using their credit card, PKE demonstrates a strong future for CAME Parkare on the world parking stage.
To summarize, the PKE system is a comprehensive solution to parking control, offering significant improvements in productivity for a little additional cost, whilst also increasing end-user satisfaction due to operational reliability and a range of products to meet all requirements. To do this, our PKE car park control system is based on a network of automatic devices that regulate access, control payment, and record all activity in the car park.
PKM Line
Maintaining the evolutionary CAME Parkare style, the new PKM mid-range system continues to provide the excellent performance capabilities provided by its predecessor, Parkare’s Compact thermal paper roll system.
