Forget ‘smart detection’, we do so much more! Quercus Technologies introduces new logo, slogan, corporate philosophy and website

quercus

For Quercus Technologies it is an end of year full of positive changes that form the basis of the growth that is expected both of the company and of the products, projects and services it provides. The global turbulent times have only reinforced the need to adapt and take advantage of the circumstances.

Technology and artificial intelligence is becoming more and more important to reduce contact with surfaces and automate parking and user experiences as much as possible. As in all sectors, user experience is fundamental.

The new Quercus Technologies logo retains its classic tree composed of pixels and the letters that symbolize the essence of the company: Quercus, the oak tree. The strength and stability of its roots characterize this family of trees and also Quercus Technologies.

Previously, the company’s logo had the slogan Smart detection integrated into it, a message that represented of the company’s activity at the time. However, the strategic line of Quercus Technologies in recent years has been moving towards parking guidance projects and parking services, and not only intelligent detection and license plate recognition products.

While new branches and leaves appear on the oak, it is essential that the roots—the time-honored products developed by the company—remain strong and form the foundation on which to grow.

New slogan – Boost the parking experience!

In line with the above mentioned, Quercus Technologies was not exclusively engaged in the production and distribution of license plate recognition equipment, but went much further. “Boost the parking experience” perfectly sums up what customers can expect with the installation of the company’s system, products and services.

Enhancing car parks means making them intelligent, optimal, improving the user experience from the moment they enter to the moment they leave the premises. This can only be achieved with a global vision of the car park and the experience of those who have successfully carried out projects of this caliber.

New Corporate Philosophy – Mission, Vision and Values Renewed

Every great change in a company starts with a change of vision, and with a constant desire to improve and offer better services. That is why Quercus Technologies also has a new corporate philosophy that draws on the professionalism that already characterized the company when it was founded, with the added value of experience and new horizons.

  • Mission: Innovative parking solutions to improve user experience and our customer’s business.
  • Vision: A world leader company in providing the most innovative and reliable engineering solutions to every customer.
  • Values: Professionalism, Innovation, Cooperation, Quality, Honesty.

New website and domain

In early 2019, the creation of the company’s two commercial and business divisions, Detection and Mobility, led to the need to reinvent a website that needed a change in both content and style. With the intention of strengthening the brand, the domain of the new website has also changed, it is now www.quercus-technologies.com including the two words that have accompanied Quercus Technologies and all that this company represents for more than 20 years.

The new website has much more information about the company: the divisions, its markets and applications, its products, its projects and references, its success stories and its Human Resource section. Quercus Technologies, a large company with international projection, must have a quality website, which perfectly reflects the products and services offered.

Quercus Technologies provides the solution in the field of intelligent parking that the shopping center Trimais Places needed to cover its needs for control and surveillance in their parking area.

Member News: What Automatic Access Control Systems Can do for Car Parks in This New Reality

May 21, 2020

Interaction is natural and it is an inherent need of every human being. Nevertheless, latest technologies lead to avoiding human contact and simplifying lives thanks to automation. This path to the future based on avoiding interaction has been accelerated by the Covid19 situation. Considering the trend of increasing use of private transport, now it’s the best time for parking. More than ever it is mandatory to decrease or eliminate the physical contact points inside the premises.

PRESS RELEASE

How can LPR cameras like Quercus Technologies’ help prevent the virus spread at entries and exits of a car park? Quite simple. The less we poke around, the less chances for it to spread

In everyday life drivers who park in a car park have to interact with different devices in the process. It seems unavoidable to use things such as ticket dispensers, payment machines, cash or vouchers… And it’s been confirmed that the virus can stand on surfaces for long.

The major issue lies with the use of the ticket dispensers at the entry and exit; the best option to avoid this contact point is to simply go in and out without using a ticket. Technology built in SmartLPR Access cameras integrated with access control systems allows to automate entries and exits of the parking facilities. When drivers arrive at the parking premises, their vehicle’s license plate is recognized and registered and the barrier rises up automatically. This ticketless feature is widely used for car park monthly subscribers because it grants them a “hands free” access; bear in mind that this can also be used when creating registration lists for employees or regular customers with benefits.

If prepaid ticketless operation is not available, another physical interaction will be held at the payment stations. Don’t worry though, there are options that will allow you to minimize this such as using QR codes that make paper tickets readable at short distance away from the payment device. QR codes combined with the fact that most of the patrons will likely use a credit card will reduce the amount of user input.

To facilitate the previous process even more, some banks have taken the temporary measure to increase the contactless payment security limits. This will ensure that most of your daily parking fees can be paid without entering PIN and therefore making the payment a zero contact process.

Otherwise, if you want to avoid cash or credit payments altogether you can opt to integrate the LPR cameras and Access Control System into a mobile app. By using a mobile platform parkers will use their devices to pay using their licence plate or a pre-registered account as identification. This way they will be paying without touching any local device.

Last but not least, when users drive to the exit Quercus Technologies’ units will once more read their plate number, allowing them to verify if the user has already paid in order to automatically let them out. Every contact point can be easily removed with the combination of License Plate Recognition cameras and an adequate Parking Access and Revenue Control set-up.

LPR technology is not a one day work, it requires several years of experience.

Quercus Technologies has been developing LPR cameras for more than two decades now. SmartLPR Access is the latest generation of License Plate Recognition units designed to contribute to security and smart mobility in car parks and access controls. A single device integrates all what is needed to provide the highest reliability worldwide.
