A Changing Industry Landscape
As municipalities, universities, and private operators continue to modernize their parking infrastructure, one message is loud and clear: the need for smart, automated facility monitoring solutions has never been greater. Gated systems are costly and often limit flexibility. Gateless operations offer more freedom but raise compliance concerns. Everyone—from city planners to lot operators—is looking for parking tech that can do more: detect, identify, record, and report in real time while seamlessly integrating with their existing operations.
That’s exactly where Paralign comes in.
The Paralign Unveiling
IPMI 2025 marked the official launch of Paralign as a standalone brand. Though its core AI-powered vision technology has been used exclusively within PRRS for some time, this event allowed us to share its full capabilities with a much wider audience.
Our booth was designed with interaction in mind. Whether visitors had two minutes or twenty, we ensured they left informed. Quick questions were met with clear answers and take-home materials. Those wanting a deeper look could watch live demos from our Hungarian product manager, and for those seeking a full breakdown, our sales experts delivered in-depth presentations tailored to specific needs.
Now that ARC, Paralign’s leading parking monitor and data service is available independently from PRRS’s notice management and compliance services, it’s ideal for universities and municipalities that want to retain control over their compliance processes while upgrading their tech stack. ARC Flex provides facility monitoring technology in the form of AI-driven object detection, vehicle identification, and categorization metadata recording, ensuring accurate tracking of every vehicle which is ideal for municipalities and universities. Furthermore, the basic vision tech can be enhanced with flexible add-on modules allowing customizable features as each parking lot requires.
And it wasn’t only municipalities and universities that were excited to hear about the benefits of Paralign technology at IPMI.
Paralign’s ARC system uses AI-driven object detection, vehicle identification, and metadata tagging to provide real-time facility monitoring. This enables precise tracking of every vehicle without the need for costly infrastructure overhauls.
Addressing Common Hesitations
Surface lot operators were quick to recognize the value of Paralign. With open lots lacking gates and being difficult to monitor, vision tech like ours becomes an obvious win. Paralign makes it easy to track vehicle movement, identify patterns, collect data, and ultimately reduce costs while increasing revenue and efficiency. The result? A safer, more reliable parking experience for customers.
Gated lot operators tend to have a few more questions. The idea of going gateless can be daunting due to fears of increased non-compliance. While a brief rise in violations can occur during transition, the ARC system boasts a 99.8%+ recognition rate, minimizing errors and ensuring reliable performance. Plus, integrations with third-party compliance and notice management providers allow for immediate follow-up on violations—so enforcement remains robust even without physical gates.
For asset managers, this is a game changer. With license plate capture on entry and exit, seamless payment processing, and automated violation management, Paralign enables true free-flow parking—eliminating chokepoints and significantly improving the user experience. And since it’s cost-effective, it opens up high-end tech solutions to smaller operators who have historically been priced out of the market.
Let’s Partner to Make Parking Smarter
The conversations we had at IPMI 2025 were more than exciting—they were inspiring. From municipalities looking to boost compliance and revenue, to private operators eager to improve customer experience and streamline operations, it’s clear that Paralign parking tech meets a real, growing need.
We’re especially excited about the potential for public-private partnerships that use Paralign as a bridge between compliance, efficiency, and modernization. By helping both sectors harness the power of AI-driven monitoring, we’re making parking smarter, frictionless, and more data-driven than ever.
