Loop Detectors for Automatics

Loop detectors and motion sensors are helpful devices that keep customers moving through your automatic car wash with less manual effort from employees. Loops are installed in the ground near doors and gates to detect when a vehicle has entered the space by using magnets to sense the presence of iron, steel, and other ferrous metal. Once a vehicle is detected, doors and gates 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 light and motion to detect vehicles and allow them to enter the automatic wash 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 automatic car wash!
