solutions for customers

Barrierless

SKIDATA’s access control for car parks based on digital solutions: a camera registers the car by its license plate, no barrier needed. Less hardware, more comfort for the visitor and less stop and go at the parking entrance. This solution even reduces traffic jams and driving in circles around car parks in crowded cities. The barrierless solution is also ticketless: no need to stop to pull a ticket, no lost tickets, no ticket waste.

Reducing the number of polluting transport movements of parkers in the city

SKIDATA supplements smart parking approaches with digital parking solutions. Digitalization and seamless use of parking navigation, car park access via license plate recognition and digital payment improves traffic flow on streets, eliminates paper waste and reduces CO2 emissions.

Ticketless

We go for “More digital for less waste”: Reducing ticket waste by sustainable digital access saves tons of paper and plastic waste from access identifiers. Ticketless entry and license plate recognition for car access can already fully replace paper tickets in the parking segment.

By using a 100 % digital ski pass, guests purchase their ski ticket conveniently via the destination’s web shop, turning their smartphone into a data carrier – it’s good-bye to paper and plastic waste.

SKIDATA cards and tickets

Ticketless options do not work for every customer and therefore it is beneficial that our Consumable Products department is our CSR pioneer at SKIDATA as it has started its journey toward a more sustainable ticket production during the last years already. The ticket segment at SKIDATA is still an important factor in the SKIDATA business with more than 60 million sold tickets per year and a rising trend due to increasing sales in mountain business. Consequently, the following sustainability initiatives in the ticketing segment are relevant.
Starting from 1st of April 2023, EVERY SKIDATA ticket is delivered – from us as first and currently only supplier - ClimatePartner certified!

The following reduction measures have been or will be implemented in the near future:

  • Circular economy approach for ticket production by recycling of single-crate material and minimizing waste.
  • More sustainable packaging with change from white to brown cardboard boxes.
  • The completely plastics free keycard pure is a best case example for the possibility to create high-class tickets which consists nearly completely of a renewable material – namely wood and paper.
  • We have set steps to replace PVC with recycled PVC for our enitre keycard portfolio and keytix rigid portfolio which will reduce the carbon emissions by approx. 20% by 2024.

SKIDATA hardware products

Hardware designed for a long lifetime

SKIDATA hardware products offer compact and long-lasting design. They are designed to last for 15+ years. The long product life cycle results in less material to be produced and used. At the end of the life cycle of the products, a manual is at hand to assess how to dis-assemble and how to recycle pieces, as legally required.

Generally, all hardware products are designed and built with a focus on low energy consumption and support of power saving modes which will be implemented in our new products as well as selected existing products.

Staging

Pre-assembling of products by the Staging department at SKDIATA supports higher efficiency and helps individual components to be handled with care. Moreover, SKIDATA staff reduces travelling caused by several delivery or support visits at the customer’s site. That’s why sustainable production is one of the focuses of SKIDATA.

Maintenance cycles

SKIDATA’s strategy focuses on a Hardware design that enables easy repairs providing an extensive spare parts catalogue. Based on the Installed Base, we know which materials are necessary for repair and maintenance. Thus, we save car traffic as technicians do not have to fetch material again for repairs on site. Spare parts are available for up to seven years to support the long product lifecycle of SKIDATA hardware.

Documentation

To avoid unnecessary use of paper, our product and segment documentation is nearly completely digital. Manuals for refitting of existing hardware products do not exist in printed form anymore, they are switched to a QR download. The same is valid for recycling instructions which can be downloaded from SKIDATA’s Digital Asset Management System ADAM.
