Vehicle Detection Equipment for Express Car Washes

Loop detectors and motion sensors are invaluable pieces of equipment that keep customers moving through your tunnel with less manual effort from employees. Loops are installed in the ground near gates and doors to detect when a vehicle has entered the space by using magnetic fields to sense the presence of iron and steel. Once a car is detected, gates and doors are opened to allow it to enter the tunnel. Motion sensors are placed in the same types of areas and serve a similar function but in a different manner, using motion and light to detect vehicles and allow them to enter the tunnel area. Vehicle detection devices can also be used to send an alert to employees that a customer has arrived, kick on security cameras, trigger a pay station to start the transaction, and a wide variety of other functions that maintain efficient processing of cars at your express wash!
