Climate risk, particularly severe weather, is becoming an increasingly important factor in how parking and mobility infrastructure is designed and how vehicles are insured and protected. Hail is one of the costliest and most disruptive weather threats facing vehicle-centric infrastructure in the United States. As vehicles with panoramic glass roofs, advanced sensors, and EV components become increasingly technologically complex and expensive to repair, the financial impact of hail damage continues to grow. At the same time, insurers are responding with higher premiums, stricter underwriting, and more stringent requirements for proactive mitigation.

San Diego, CA — EnSight Technologies announced that it has partnered with Emerald Queen Casino to deploy a comprehensive parking occupancy management and guidance solution across the casino’s three hotel and casino garages in Tacoma, Washington. The project will serve the North, South, and East Garages and is designed to provide real-time parking visibility while simplifying infrastructure and reducing the need for excessive hardware. Using EnSight’s vision-based technology and cloud platform, the system will deliver accurate occupancy data, digital wayfinding signage, and added security visibility to support a smoother parking experience for casino and hotel guests. At the core of the deployment is EnSight’s total occupancy management solution, featuring full-matrix digital signs at each garage entrance to clearly communicate space availability. Additional enhancements will expand the system’s capabilities, including license plate recognition at entry and exit points, level-by-level vehicle counting, and interior digital signs that guide drivers as they move through each garage. “Parking is often the first and last touchpoint of a guest’s visit,” said David Yerbury, Security Director for Emerald Queen Casino. “This new system will help us create a smoother arrival experience by making it easier for guests to find parking quickly and confidently.” The EnSight solution will be managed through the EnSightful Portal, a single cloud-based dashboard that provides live occupancy monitoring, historical utilization reporting, and system oversight across all three garages. Casino operators will gain improved visibility into how their parking assets are used, while guests benefit from clearer guidance and reduced time spent searching for parking. “Our focus with Emerald Queen Casino was to deliver a parking solution that is powerful, yet easy to manage,” said Chris Scheppmann, Managing Member of EnSight Technologies. “By leveraging a vision-based approach, we’re able to limit physical infrastructure while still providing real-time insight, guidance, and additional security benefits. The result is a system that is easier to manage and easier for guests to use.” This deployment reflects EnSight Technologies’ continued commitment to delivering smart, scalable parking solutions that adapt to complex environments, like gaming and hospitality destinations. By combining real-time data, intuitive signage, and flexible software integrations, EnSight helps operators improve efficiency while enhancing the overall visitor experience.
