Manchester Airport agrees major contract with Scheidt & Bachmann

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:01:00 +0200

Manchester Airport and Scheidt & Bachmann are delighted to jointly announce that the contract for the re-equipping of the airport’s entire estate of parking control systems has been awarded to Scheidt & Bachmann. The award follows many months of detailed evaluation involving bids from the world’s leading car park systems’ suppliers. The airport’s multi-million pound investment will provide over 250 field units to control more than 30 of the airports’ car parks. S&B will be supplying an integrated control system to manage pre-booked and roll-up parkers for Manchester’s three terminals in both short and long stay operations. In addition, the system will extend to VIP and valet parking operations, staff and service partner parking, and bussing access control. The project will also include for space detection systems in each of the three short stay car parks, indicating vacant spaces and speeding customers to them. The final stage of the project will involve a Taxi Management System to enable a more efficient deployment of taxis to the Terminal forecourts to service passenger demand. As part of this significant investment into improved customer service and security, Manchester Airport have chosen many of S&B’s latest technical features including:

Abolishing the use of paper tickets by using re-cyclable smart chip coins. Through the use of this increasingly popular parking medium, Manchester Airport will save the need for tens of millions of single-use paper tickets over the coming years.
‘Green Efficient’ Automatic Payment Stations which ‘power down’ when not in use, reducing power consumption, running costs and underling the Airports commitment to achieving its carbon reduction targets.
Use of Automatic Payment Stations specifically designed for use by disabled parkers.
More use of Chip & PIN, providing more ways for secure payments.
Extensive use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition to speed the flow of pre-booked motorists and allow more options for the Airports 19,000 staff and service partners when parking.
S&B’s latest entervo software suite with open interfaces and web-client technology running as virtual machines.
Complimentary barcode functionality to support pre-booking and act as a springboard for Partner and promotional schemes.

The Project will commence in April 2012 and is due for completion in 2013.

Scheidt & Bachmann awarded Apcoa contract for Parking Management System at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER)

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:36:00 +0200

Apcoa Autoparking GmbH (APCOA) and Scheidt & Bachmann GmbH are continuing their successful collaboration at the airport in Berlin over the next few years. The very latest parking management technology from Scheidt & Bachmann will be installed at the capital city's new airport, BER. The tried and tested APCOA standard parking management configuration is being extended to incorporate the specific requirements of the Berlin Airport. The call for tender for the Berlin airport required, in particular, that the parking management system be incorporated within the complex IT infrastructure of the new airport. In addition, it was required to provide energy-efficient equipment, allow the use of pay stations from wheelchairs and extend the ‘early booking’ and ‘holiday booking facilities’ in the car park pre-booking system. The environmentally-friendly and easy access parking management system makes an important contribution to the environmental and social acceptability aspects of Berlin's new construction project. With its ‘Green Efficiency’ energy-saving concept and the ‘TÜV-certified’ disabled-friendly automatic pay stations, the Scheidt & Bachmann parking management system fulfils all the requirements of today’s market. On the opening of the capital’s BER airport on June 3rd 2012 the parking system will manage the parking of cars in more than 15,000 parking spaces and provide automated parking revenue control.

SITA Airport IT and Scheidt & Bachmann renew parking management system at Airport Düsseldorf International (DUS)

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:20:00 +0200

At the beginning of March 2012 SITA Airport IT GmbH, Düsseldorf (SAIT) commissioned Scheidt & Bachmann GmbH, from Mönchengladbach, to renew the parking management system at Düsseldorf International Airport. The current system, some of which is over 12 years old, is being totally renovated, whilst reutilising some of the newer components. This includes an upgrade of the exceedingly successful car park reservation system used by over 350,000 customers, and the supply of new entrance/exit control equipment and automatic pay stations. The third largest parking system at a German airport is going "green, i.e. environmentally friendly and barrier free," explains Samuel Spaltner. According to Scheidt & Bachmann´s Director for Germany, the airport and its partners are placing great value on the economical use of resources and social awareness in making their investment decisions; the energy-efficient and "easy access" automatic pay stations from Scheidt & Bachmann help to fulfill these demands. “All car parking control devices contain barcode scanners that can be used by the customers. With this "self-service technology" that is already used for passenger check-in it will be possible in future to sell parking tickets online via "Print@Home" or Smartphones. There are many potential new marketing possibilities using barcodes in print media and synergistically with flight tickets. The parking management control system is being incorporated within SAIT’s innovative IT landscape" explains Dr Jahncke. As the Managing Director of SITA Airport IT he sees SAIT’s reliable "high-tech" computer centre as the high-availability basis for the hosted virtual instrumentation and control computers of the parking management system.” SAIT, the IT service provider for Germany's third largest airport, Düsseldorf Airport, is operating the parking management system for 20,000 car parks with the support of APCOA Autoparking.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Renews Partnership with Scheidt & Bachmann

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:45:00 +0100

One of the first installations in the United States using Scheidt & Bachmann was the Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) International Airport. At the time, 1999, it was the largest application of automated payment stations in the United States. So successful was the application and associated process planning, the operation received both national and international recognition. 12 years later, Sea-Tac has reconfirmed its confidence in Scheidt & Bachmann by awarding them a contract to install the next generation of automated parking solutions. The new system design will leverage the high incidence of credit card usage by reducing the number of cash machines and increasing the number of credit card only machines. Scheidt & Bachmann would like to thank SEATAC for affirming our business partnership. Airport parking operations have been positively influenced by the success and stewardship of the Sea-Tac operation.

Boston Logan Airport Expresses Trust in Scheidt & Bachmann Once Again

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 13:41:00 +0200

Boston Logan International Airport continues to trust in the expertise of Scheidt & Bachmann and has awarded an exclusive maintenance contract for the next five years to the Mönchengladbach specialists for parking space management systems. The scope of the contract includes routine or preventative maintenance work, direct support with 24/7 availability and a defined reaction time, the supply of spare parts and the performance of additional services. The trusting partnership between the Boston Logan Airport and Scheidt & Bachmann has existed since 2004. The complete parking space management system was supplied and installed by Scheidt & Bachmann. The airport on the east coast of the USA is one of the largest and most frequented airports in the States. In several parking areas, there are around 17,000 parking spaces available for airline passengers. 17 entry and 22 exit points allow customers to access and leave the car parks or areas, almost without any traffic jams. Over the entire area, there are 46 pay machines available to airline passengers to pay for their parking ticket. Safety and customer service are also put at the forefront in the parking areas at the airport. Frequent flyers are offered a permanent parker program (Parking PASSPort) which can be accessed online using the website. Customers can choose between an express exit and exits with payment points. A popular feature with customers is that the parking space ID is printed on the ticket when paying at the pay machine. This means they quickly find their cars again after a longer time away, without having to search. This is made possible by the fully integrated identification detection system at the entry and exit points and manual space records. Both systems are compared automatically.

OPT 240 VdS certified

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:57:00 +0200

Scheidt & Bachmann GmbH has been certified by the VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH as the first manufacturer to meet the new VdS petrol payment terminal audit requirements. As part of a comprehensive intrusion test, the new Scheidt & Bachmann outdoor payment terminal OPT 240 was tested on its safety and durability. The result: the new OPT 240 is as safest in its class. The improved security concept that was implemented for the first time in this machine convincingly passed all of the requirements. Several safety features like the type of locks used, the locking mechanism and the robust stainless steel construction, secure the payment terminal against intrusion attempts and vandalism. The OPT 240 is the first outdoor payment terminal in Germany to receive a VdS Certificate to confirm its security rating.

Scheidt & Bachmann Also Equips New Terminal T3 at Las Vegas Airport

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 08:42:00 +0200

With the construction of a new terminal, McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, USA, is setting itself up for the future. The provision of additional parking spaces also counts as one of the attractive services on offer for airline passengers. A new car park will be built in the direct vicinity which will be equipped with entervo - the innovative parking management system from Scheidt & Bachmann. This means that more than 4500 additional parking spaces for passengers and airport staff are created over six levels. The car park will be ready to start operating in July 2012. Scheidt & Bachmann equipment is already part of the airport's appearance: easy parking in the existing car parks and parking areas has been realised by entervo since 2010. After a year of construction time, the first installation phase was successfully completed. The possibilities that entervo offers the parking operators and the local service offered by a Scheidt & Bachmann team resulted in awarding the work to Scheidt & Bachmann once again. Another decisive advantage: the previous server structure will be changed to a virtual system. This means that the existing and the new parking areas are integrated into a complete system. An overall view of all occurrences in parking at the airport is therefore conveniently possible. Scheidt & Bachmann and the McCarran International Airport are looking towards continuing the successful partnership.

Barrier-free automatic pay station

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 11:02:00 +0200

Our Leisure Centre systems division is continuing the company’s philosophy of innovation in systems. The latest development is a new automatic pay station that has been developed to meet the needs for handicapped people. Scheidt & Bachmann is one of the first manufacturers in this field who is able to provide an automatic pay station and vending machine adapted to the needs of the disabled and introduces state of the art features like barcode ticket, ChipCoin and smartcard processing in one device. The focus of the design of the machine is easy access to all parts of the user interface. An example is the use of large icons and fonts on an extra high contrast touch screen to make it easy to use for those with sight problems. The first of these barrier-free automatic pay stations were installed and put into operation in the "Sonnenhof Therme" in Bad Saulgau in March 2011.

New top management in the parking and leisure centre systems business division

Mon, 16 May 2011 10:42:00 +0200

Martin Kammler has been General Manager in the parking and leisure centre systems business division since 1st January 2011. Mr Kammler is no stranger to the team in the business division: he has been managing the team in the petrol station systems business division at Scheidt & Bachmann very successfully for almost 4 years. Until this function is transferred to a new general manager, Martin Kammler is responsible for both divisions parallel to each other.

After starting off his professional career as a software developer, he has worked in various management positions in project management, development and sales.

"I have become more familiar with the branch and found it to be very innovative.

ADAC – Parking Garage Test 2010 – Scheidt & Bachmann congratulates the winner

Wed, 11 May 2011 10:41:00 +0200

The car park ‘Oberanger’ in Munich was awarded this year’s “Test Winner” at the ADAC – Parking Garage Test. Scheidt & Bachmann would like to sincerely congratulate Contipark, the owner and the operator to this award! The ADAC tested a total of 50 car parks in ten German cities. All tested car parks were assessed based to a comprehensive list of criteria according to the same categories. Park-processing systems technology played a key role in the criteria “user-friendliness” and “safety”. The test winner was here able to score with its license plate recognition system, the pay stations adapted to disabled persons, the access recognition and the cashless payment options. Many car park operators increasingly rely on customer comfort as a competitive advantage. Scheidt & Bachmann, as systems supplier for parking management systems, supports these endeavours. Scheidt & Bachmann offers comfort and sustainability with the following systems features:

Intuitively operable, energy-efficient equipment;
Various payment options with cash or bank card at automatic pay stations or upon exit;
A clever traffic guidance system to reduce traffic to find a parking space;
Video surveillance or license plate recognition at entries and exits.

Winning the test for a parking garage fitted with the most up-to-date park-processing technology confirms the success of the previous year of the parking garage ‘MyZeil’ (P30 Palais Quartier) in Frankfurt at the ADAC Parking Garage Test 2009.

First Cash Management System installed: Scheidt & Bachmann extend product range

Tue, 10 May 2011 09:25:00 +0200

Scheidt & Bachmann, Postbank and ALLGUTH have also celebrated a premiere. Since August 2010, the new ALLGUTH station on Triebstr. 35 in Munich has been operating on the cash network with a new “cash-recycler”. This system is the first TMS 30 connected to a cash-recycler. “Dispenser no. 3, this drink and 200 Euro cash please”. Cash services are more convenient for the customers now. With this system, any cash that is paid is stored in a secure safe from which customers with Giro cards / ec-cards can withdraw money from their bank account after entering their PIN. This works just like a normal ATM. The new service is available at ALLGUTH stations not only to customers of Postbank but also for customers of any other bank. Behind this innovative solution an integrated system is working with several cash recyclers which allow automated incoming and outgoing cash payments of banknotes and coins. Cash payment is done on the one hand via the banknote module at the cashier’s side of the counter. As usual, the cashier takes the banknotes and instead of placing them in the cash register drawer all money is inserted in the banknote module of the system. There, the banknotes are stored safely in a closed system and can be reused as change or outgoing payments later on. The system is complemented by the coin module. This device is placed at the front of the counter and faces the customer. Here customers can insert coins themselves, and take change in coins too. Counted change (banknotes and coins) is returned via those two cash recyclers. Therefore, no cash is stored openly available at the POS workstations anymore. Any incoming cash payment is booked automatically to the system. If the cash recyclers need to be opened at any time and money has to be taken to the bank, only the authorised value transport company is allowed to do so. Of course, card payments with Giro cards / ec-cards, credit cards and ALLGUTH cards are still possible. In the menu of the POS of the TMS 30 there is a separate icon for the connection of the cash-recycler. It is possible to operate the POS without a cash-recycler connected. Especially innovative and useful is the so-called split-up of accounts. This allows differentiation of agency and partner revenues and their automatic booking to the respective bank accounts. Within this project Postbank is responsible for all cash-flows, payments and coordination of cash collections by value transport companies, Scheidt & Bachmann provides the hardware and software as well as processing and forwarding all of the transaction data. Furthermore, Scheidt & Bachmann offers installation and after-sales support; the complete package from one provider. With the cash-recycler, daily settlement is fast and safe. The counting, sorting, packing and transporting of cash to the bank, is no longer necessary for the filling station owner or his team. The change of shifts is faster and easier as the cash amount is correct at all times. In addition to the new combination of incoming and outgoing payments, the system offers the maximum safety against robberies because cash is no longer openly available at the station. For ALLGUTH and the filling station owner, this new safety is an important advantage. The census so far on Triebstreet 35 in Munich is positive. “Daily settlements are coherent and correct every day“, says filling station operator Mr Dersch. Managing Director of ALLGUTH, Christian Amberger, is sure: “If our pilot project “Cash-Recycler” continues to be successful, we consider this a ground-breaking solution and it has great potential for further improvements to the cash-cycle.”

Re-Equipment of the Traditional Tube in Glasgow

Thu, 05 May 2011 13:09:00 +0200

Since the foundation more than 100 years ago the tube in the biggest Scottish city, Glasgow, has been carrying thousands of people safely and on time each day. However, the last all-embracing modernization of the stations has been 30 years ago. To that effect you can see the ravages of time at many places. Therefore the operating company SPT (Strathclyde Partnership for Transport) decided to modernize the traditional tube system by investing in new designs and innovative ideas. So that the tube will shine in new splendour They planed not only constructional measures at old stations but also to speed up and to simplify all processes around “buying a ticket”. Therefore you have to implement the smart card processing in the whole system. So you also have to homogenize the look and feel of the field devices with the appearance of the stations. SPT engages Scheidt & Bachmann to implement this challenging project. The huge experiences of Scheidt & Bachmann at the market in UK with more than 2000 field devices will be upgraded by this complex system as a part of a further customer. Based on the modernization for SPT 15 stations will be equipped with 77 smart slim line gates, 34 ticket vending machines in the style of our TicketXpress and 18 ticket office machines. Moreover some compact and functional handhelds are part of delivery. For administrating of the whole system the high-performance Scheidt & Bachmann back office system will be implemented. It provides functions for control, management, analysis and statistics. Contactless smartcards, which comes up to ITSO standard, function as tickets and provide both operator and consumer a highest flexible handling. The modernization of the stations and the installation and launch of the fare collection system should be finished on time when the Commonwealth Games are in 2014 so that the sports-delighted crowd of people will be carried at ease to the venue.

Product Management as a main competence for our customers

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:10:00 +0100

The Operation Management of the business division Fare collection systems started a process to professionalize the project management in February 2010. The aim is to strengthen the project management as a main competence for our customers. The step was necessary because of the increasing quantity and complexity of FCS-projects and the associated rising challenge for the project managers. The company decided to choose PRINCE2 as the applied project management method. PRINCE2 provides a standardised guideline and process framework for the project managers. PRINCE2 creates a controlled environment, coherent standards, a homogeneous project language and divides a overall project into controllable phases. The advantages for our customers and staff are obvious:

Assurance that the projects are accomplished according to an internationally accepted method
The division of a project into management phases makes prompt controlling possible
The accomplishment of projects with more then two involved fractions is simplified since all procedures are standardised
The customer takes part in the project board and obtains a higher transparency and influence
Exact conformability through the definition of business cases / quality criteria / risks

In 2010 all of our project managers underwent an intensive PRINCE2 training to make familiar with the new project method and to adopt the know-how for coming challenges.
