The Future of Parking Lot Operations: Embracing Comprehensive Cloudification

In today's era of rapid technological advancements such as AIoT, edge-cloud synergy, and big data, the field of smart parking is witnessing the integration of innovative technologies. The definition of smart parking has expanded, and the industry is becoming increasingly high-tech.

From intelligent hardware enabling automatic license plate recognition and payment to centralized management of front-end data and parking space control, smart parking has undergone significant transformations in both service and management modes.

We believe that the future of parking operations lies in the comprehensive cloudification of parking systems. In this article, we will delve into the concept of comprehensive cloudification.

01 Understanding Cloudification

In simple terms, cloudification refers to the process of migrating applications and data to the cloud for processing. Compared to traditional models, cloudification reduces the reliance on hardware resources and enhances processing capabilities, revolutionizing the delivery and operation models of parking lots.

With cloudification, there is no longer a need for traditional wired deployments, booth constructions, or front-end control systems. Instead, on-site equipment can be networked, resulting in a lightweight parking lot system. Moreover, the online system supports remote debugging, centralized configuration, intelligent early warning, and streamlined operation and maintenance. These features enable faster project delivery, simplified after-sales services, and a more stable system operation. Additionally, as devices remain connected to the internet, the system can be updated to the latest version at any time, facilitating the exploration of new features.

Overall, cloudification makes parking services more convenient for providers and customers alike. Projects can be delivered within short timeframes, offering replicable success. Cloud-based urban parking systems are cost-effective, simplifying and enhancing operation and maintenance.

02 The Value of Cloudification: Building Platforms and Ecosystems

We position cloudification as the foundation of our strategic direction at JIESHUN, as it promotes industry development. Over the past two years, JIESHUN has introduced numerous cloud-based innovative products and services.

Leveraging AI and big data technologies, 深圳市捷顺科技实业股份有限公司 has developed an unattended cloud-hosted parking solution. This solution achieves a license plate recognition rate of 99.9% and integrates functions such as mobile payment, ETC payment, and electronic invoicing to replace manual management. Through cloud customer service and remote maintenance, this solution operates in a fully unattended closed-loop, resulting in significant cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Cloud hosting not only minimizes charging loopholes and labor costs but also offers property managers the opportunity for rapid future expansion by connecting parking lot resources to the internet. Online operations enable advertising campaigns using parking space resources and the leasing of long-term vacant parking spaces to generate additional income, providing convenience to car owners.

The #JIESHUN cloud platform is open to all ecological service providers. Through a completely open protocol, the platform supports the integration of third-party software and hardware from other brands, allowing more partners to utilize the diverse functions of the cloud platform. Presently, the platform has connected with numerous gas stations and over 100 third-party lanes, fostering an open and collaborative ecosystem that ensures its health and sustainability.

03 Achieving Comprehensive Cloudification

Comprehensive cloudification places higher demands on research and development. As a technology-driven company, JIESHUN is committed to delivering high-quality parking services to customers.

During the cloudification process, service providers must grasp mainstream technologies such as internet architecture, big data analysis, AI capabilities, and audio-visual systems.

For instance, cloud customer service extends beyond remote intercom and cloud-based front-end security functions. It leverages AI and big data to automatically handle various abnormal events, minimizing the need for human intervention in parking services.

Technology-driven progress relies not only on the R&D team but also on continuous service capabilities—from pre-sales solutions to delivery and after-sales maintenance.

In the after-sales model, for example, customers can contact the service hotline or apply for repairs online through an app, triggering an automatic assignment of customer service personnel. This closed-loop system vastly improves the efficiency and quality of customer service. Maintenance procedures have also evolved, with 80% of problems now resolved online, leading to enhanced work efficiency.

While technical means may not entirely transform the industry, they undoubtedly promote its development and progress.

04 Looking Ahead

Through cloudification, JIESHUN aims to create a platform for mutually beneficial cooperation. As the platform provides solutions to customers and partners, they, in turn, contribute to its long-term operation and growth. JIESHUN's technology and services will evolve in the following directions:

• Personalized Services and Detailed Solutions: Building on existing industry solutions in various contexts such as industrial parks, communities, hospitals, schools, office buildings, and transportation hubs, JIESHUN will offer more personalized services tailored to different groups.
• Embracing Collaborative Partnerships: JIESHUN will maintain an open approach, welcoming partners and integrating more third-party collaborations through API interfaces to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
• Shifting from Management to Operation: By utilizing AI and big data, JIESHUN aims to transition the service model from mere management to comprehensive operation. The company will provide partners with optimal business models, deliver improved user services, and enhance users' quality of life.

The journey of technological advancements is never-ending. JIESHUN seeks to stay ahead of trends, collaborate with more partners, offer users personalized and valuable services, and ultimately make parking more convenient for all users. This commitment reflects JIESHUN's enduring goal.
