Parking Terminals

The MicroThe Micro Metric terminal
The Micro Metric terminal

The Micro terminal delivers the latest cashless smart payment technology in a small, robust form factor. Not just for parking, the Micro can provide a remote payment solution for many services.

Metric terminals have already changed the face of parking payment solutions with options for cashless, card, chip and PIN and QR/Bar code payment. The Micro terminal takes that evolution to the next stage, by providing an easy to use cashless payment terminal for any unattended service.

Designed with SMART payment features for use throughout the world. Its compact form factor means it will easily integrate with your current service technology in any indoor, or outdoor environment, on or off-street. Micro mounts easily to existing poles or walls, without the need for additional costly infrastructure upgrades and installations.

The UniversalMetric terminal the universalMetric terminal the universal

The new Universal parking terminal from Metric has been developed with a global market in mind.

It combines a simple and robust design with the latest smart technology. Added to this are options for enhanced security and solar power autonomy – making it a device suitable for any situation and or market.

Enhanced Security

Machines that accept cash payments collecting notes and coins, have long been a target for criminals. While many users are moving to cashless options, there is still a requirement to provide a provision for cash payments.

The Universal is designed and manufactured featuring European-standard VDS-P4 safes and deposit boxes within Pay and Display Ticket Machines, these have been created in conjunction with FORMAT Tresorbau GmbH.

Not only is the organisation regarded by many as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of safes and strong boxes, but it is also a sister company of Metric’s – so a trusted pair of hands.

AI Gate

The Metric AI-Gate is an innovative access control system consisting of barrier gates with integrated ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras.

The ANPR system can identify car number plates instantly and permit vehicle access / egress more efficiently as it eliminates the need for various cards, tickets, tokens, or a manned kiosk, thus saving time, money and being more environmentally friendly.

With the combination of the Barriers and Cameras the Back Office software which uses ANPR technology to implement automatic control and management of the parking lot provides convenient and reliable services for parking management.
