Urbiotica expands its range of parking space detection sensors with the launch of U-Spot IoT for surface installation, a new version of the successful U-Spot M2M and 3.0 parking sensor. This innovation maintains the same reliability and accuracy while offering a faster and simpler installation process. With this new product, Urbiotica addresses market needs and opens new opportunities for integrators and municipalities, enabling parking space detection systems in projects where in-ground sensors were previously unfeasible or uncompetitive. What’s New? U-Spot Surface offers the same technology and reliability as our in-ground sensor but comes with an optimized casing for surface installation. This solution provides: Lower installation costs: Quick deployment without major technical requirements, optimizing time and resources.  Greater flexibility: Can be installed in a variety of environments without drilling. More project opportunities: Access to tenders and sectors where in-ground sensor installation was a limiting factor. Quick Installation Tailored to Each Need The U-Spot Surface has been designed to adapt to different environments and installation requirements: With screws: Urbiotica’s standard method, ensuring maximum stability and vandalism resistance. With adhesive: An ideal option for environments where drilling is not permitted, allowing installation without altering the existing surface. When to Choose U-Spot Surface? The surface version is the best option for environments that require a more agile and cost-effective installation without compromising accuracy: Indoor and off-street parking, where in-ground installation can be more expensive or unnecessary, or when replacing wired systems to eliminate electrical dependencies and reduce maintenance costs. Rooftops and modular structures, where drilling or ground modifications are not allowed. Projects with installation cost constraints, making space detection viable in more locations. Meanwhile, the in-ground version remains the best choice for: Areas with high vandalism risk.  Public spaces with regulations regarding surface elements.  Snow-prone regions, where the sensor is protected from damage by snowplows.
