COMA smart parking flap locks occupy half of the Chinese market. The core reasons can be summarized as follows:
1. Leading technology, solving industry pain points
- "Pay and reduce the board" function: through the Internet of Things technology to achieve "pay first and then release", completely solve the problem of evading fees in open parking spaces, and significantly increase the charging rate.
- Full scene adaptation: ultra-thin ground-fitting design (flush with the ground), anti-collision and waterproof (IP68 level), solar energy + lithium battery power supply (battery life of more than 6 months), adapt to complex environments such as urban roads, business districts, and communities.
- Multiple security guarantees: integrated geomagnetic and radar sensors, support automatic locking when power is off, abnormal alarm, and anti-rolling of more than 8 tons.
2. Policy and market dividends
- Policy promotion: Starting from 2022, the National Development Bank will issue more than 50 billion yuan in smart parking loans, and local governments will accelerate the implementation of smart parking through subsidies and tax incentives.
- Demand explosion: the parking gap in first-tier cities has reached more than 50%. In 2022, there will be 20 smart tablet lock projects with more than 500 parking spaces nationwide, and they will expand to prefecture-level cities in 2023.
3. Business model innovation
- Unattended cost reduction: Through WeChat/Alipay self-service payment and cloud management, 90% of labor costs are saved, and the investment return cycle is shortened to 1-2 years.
- Shared parking space value-added: support personal parking space sharing during idle time, improve asset utilization, and meet the trend of shared travel.
4. Capital and market expansion
- Financing support: In 2022, Shenzhen Property A and other companies invested 27.35 million yuan for technology iteration and national layout.
- Benchmark cases: Chongqing Rongchang District "Lifting Column + Video Pile" and Suzhou Gusu District Ground-mounted Lock and other projects have become industry templates and formed a demonstration effect.
5. Integrated solution
- Platform operation: Provide a full-stack solution of "hardware + cloud management + data service", compatible with charging piles, license plate recognition and other equipment, and realize the integration of city-level parking resources.
Summary
COMA has seized the opportunity in the smart parking track with strong supply and demand by relying on its technological breakthrough capabilities (such as "payment reduction"), policy sensitivity (rapid response to new infrastructure), and commercial closed-loop design (unmanned operation + shared value-added), and finally formed a market barrier that is difficult to replicate.
