Pointe Orlando’s Parking Garage

December 2nd, 2011

Pointe Orlando – A Central Florida entertainment attraction, rich with a diversified night-life and a lively family venue as well.

Fall – 2011

FDC provides a complete retrofit for vehicle access and revenue control integration to Pointe Orlando’s parking garage.  The multi-level ADA compliant parking garage sits adjacent to the Pointe’s pedestrian shopping and entertainment district.   Two entrances provide ease of access from International Drive and Universal Boulevard, both of which now boast high-end parking access gates, ticket dispensers and IP cameras: fully integrated to allow remote monitoring for all points of access and revenue control.

FDC’s professional crew delivers a strategic multi-phase installation to Pointe Orlando – keeping the customer’s time-line in check, and with each benchmark met as planned.   At the International Drive entrance, FDC installed six Federal APD G-90 barrier gates with the complete advanced Omega LCD controller with visual display: each with a 10’ straight aluminum gate arm.  FDC also landed six G-90 barrier gates at the Universal Boulevard entrance, to include six Passport proximity card readers, two Universal One ticket dispensers and four Universal One exit-verifier with credit card reader integration, providing multiple payment methods for the customers.

These ticket dispensers and payment kiosks are Universal One products, manufactured by Federal APD.   The Universal One can be configured to dispense or verify mag stripe tickets in entry or exit lanes; here, we programmed them to dispense a ticket at the initial entry of the parking garage.  The Pay Stations and exit-verifiers are patron-friendly: directing the customer throughout the transaction of their payment.  In supporting technical maintenance and ease of integration, the 24VDC internal circuit allows for low voltage components, yet provides all the programmable configurations and networking required for parking revenue and automation.

In addition to the equipment installation and configurations, FDC worked closely with engineering and electrical counterparts to provide all checks and balances for Pointe Orlando’s parking system.

FDC – Access Granted!

Element Facility Management Software

December 1st, 2011

Today, operational excellence starts with software. Hardware is certainly vital to your parking enterprise, yet it does not possess the power to drive your business toward top tier performance and lasting operational excellence. So what will be the most critical element for future success? We believe it’s a smarter, more data-driven software platform.

We put more into Element, so you can get more out of it.
Element’s software platform coalesces years of acquired systems expertise gleaned from thousands of installed customer sites and exacting real-world environments into the very best in modern software architecture.

So you can easily use solutions from a variety of providers – and gain maximum flexibility in creating business rules that fit your operational design.

Enjoy the flexibility to manage your current systems on your own terms.
Element is a bold step forward in operational management – but it’s only our first step. As we build more software modules, hardware options and third party interfaces onto the platform, you can be sure they’ll exhibit the same focused attention to delivering real world value that’s elementally different.
