Sterling Heights

Summary

STERLING HEIGHTS, MI – TagMaster North America, Inc, in conjunction with International Controls and Equipment, deployed the parking solution for law enforcement and emergency service vehicle access for the Sterling Heights Municipality in Michigan. The LR-Series Microwave RFID system and high-speed barrier arms have provided the performance and extreme reliability required by the city.

Challenge

Sterling Heights Municipality needed a secure parking solution for law enforcement and emergency service vehicles that would eliminate any risk of tailgating and unauthorized access. Prior to the installation of the TagMaster NA RFID system, posted signage was the only form of security for the lot. Eliminating tail gating, restricting unauthorized access, and increasing user convenience were priorities for this project. Many of the law enforcement and emergency vehicles have metallic/UV coated windshields, a common RFID interference.

Solution

International Controls and Equipment installed TagMaster North America’s LR-series microwave RFID readers and tags alongside high-speed barrier arms. The TagMaster NA long range 2.45GHz RFID system ensures near 100% accuracy and is unaffected by metallic/UV coated windshields.

Conclusion

The solution put forward has streamlined overall operations and increased critical security for the facility. Throughput speeds have increased, effectively reducing traffic congestion and tailgating is effectively eliminated with the high-speed barrier arms installed by International Controls and Equipment (ICE). Sterling Heights’ municipal facility now has a secure, reliable, and modern comprehensive access control solution. This solution has significantly improved the parking experience, optimized parking operations, and increased security for officers, EMS, and citizens of Sterling Heights.
