Contract Parkers Use TagMaster RFID Tag as “Parking Debit Tag”


The Minneapolis Institute of Arts optimizes throughput with Long-range RFID, PARCS.


TACOMA, Wa. | November 29, 2012 – TagMaster North America, Inc., the leading provider of long-range and high-performance Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) was installed by Harstad Controls for contract parker access to the three-level garage at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“We have been providing security and access control for the main building for years, however, this location has not charged for parking in the past nor have they
had a parking administrator on site,” said Dan Stublaski, president of Harstad Controls. “The Institute of Arts selected Denison Parking. Their focus on customer service and efficient operations resulted in a good fit with TagMaster NA and Harstad Controls.”

Harstad Controls incorporated TagMaster’s hands-free AVI technology with SKIDATA’s PARCS so that frequent visitors may purchase a “parking debit tag” with an account tied to it, thus allowing quick entry and exit. When a contract parker uses their TagMaster S1240 MarkTag MeM ID-tag to enter the garage, the parking costs are deducted through the SKIDATA system.

The system provides maximum benefits possible for customer convenience, relieving congestion and allows for less wear and tear on the hourly parking equipment.
