CONPDS AUTOGATE

One Subscription — ConPDS-Supplied Electronics, Software, and Commissioning Included

The ConPDS Autogate subscription bundles ConPDS-supplied electronics, software, commissioning services, and ongoing support into a single annual fee — scaling with the number of gates in operation. Customers still supply site structures, barriers, cabling, and compute as listed below.

What the Subscription Includes

The subscription bundles installation, commissioning, and ConPDS-supplied electronics into a predictable annual fee — reducing separate onboarding line items that traditional gate projects often carry. Additional gates can usually be added by updating the subscription; GPU capacity and site infrastructure may still need review when scaling.

Hardware per gate

Typical ConPDS-supplied electronics per gate — exact bill of materials is scoped to the site and can vary by design.

LPR Camera

Pre-validated camera for automatic licence plate recognition

5 × Container OCR Cameras

High-resolution imaging for container number OCR and contextual video capture

PoE Switch & Power Supply

Industrial switch with SFP modules and DIN-rail power supply

Barrier-Control Interface

DIN-mounted relay module for barrier opening signals

Kiosk Computing Device

Industrial PoE-powered module running the kiosk application

Emergency Spare Kit

On-site spares: 1× LPR camera, 2× OCR cameras, 1× PoE switch, brackets, 1× kiosk compute device

Software & Services

OCR Engines

Container number and licence plate recognition engines

Installation & Commissioning

Remote and on-site deployment, calibration, and go-live supervision

Remote Diagnostics

Monitoring tools, system health supervision, and configuration backups

DepotMaster Integration

REST API integration with booking system and VMS

Ongoing Updates

Software updates, performance enhancements, and OCR model improvements

Project Management

Deployment planning, camera geometry specs, and documentation

When an emergency spare is used, ConPDS ships a replacement to replenish the kit. Configuration support ensures direct integration of the new device with OCR services, VMS, and backend systems.

Customer-Supplied Infrastructure Components

These components form the local site infrastructure and are procured, installed, and maintained by the customer or their appointed contractors. ConPDS provides technical specifications for compatibility.

STRUCTURAL

Gate Structures & Mounting Poles

Steel poles, mounting arms, and cross-beams meeting required camera geometry and load specifications. Hot-dip galvanised or industrial-grade corrosion-resistant coatings.

BARRIERS

Motorised Barriers

Any motorised barrier compatible with relay-based control. Optical safety sensors and inductive ground loops required for safe vehicle detection.

KIOSK

Kiosk Totem Cabinets

Outdoor kiosk housing with industrial touchscreen, QR scanner, and intercom. Must meet environmental protection requirements for outdoor deployment.

NETWORK

Network Infrastructure

Fibre runs, backbone switches, routers, firewalls, and internet link. Power and data cabling with conduits between devices and cabinets.

COMPUTE

Central GPU Server

Customer-supplied hardware or virtualised machine running OCR, analytics, and DepotMaster integration. Specifications provided by ConPDS.

OPERATIONS

Kiosk Monitoring PC + Displays

Operator workstation with two large displays for live gate supervision, exception handling, and manual overrides. ConPDS supplies the software.

Customers use their preferred local contractors for all infrastructure work. Structural engineering, wind-load certification, and local compliance verification must be completed by qualified engineers appointed by the customer. Civil works include concrete bases, trenching, foundations, cable ducts, and electrical outlets.

Power Continuity & UPS Guidance per Gate

Estimated Load per Gate

LPR Camera — 26 W

5 × OCR Cameras — 65 W

Barrier Controller — 5 W

Kiosk Computing Device — 20 W

Touchscreen — 50 W

Intercom + Scanner — 10 W

Motorised Barrier — 150 W

Subtotal: 326 W · With 20% safety margin: ≈ 400 W total load per gate

UPS Sizing Guidance

Target backup: 10 minutes per gate

Energy required: ≈ 84 Wh (incl. UPS losses)

Recommended capacity: ≥ 0.8–1 kVA per gate

For future margin: 1.5 kVA class UPS

Each gate uses a dedicated UPS unit

A UPS for the Central GPU Server is strongly recommended — all OCR processing depends on it remaining powered.

UPS is optional but recommended. For effective continuity during power loss, backup coverage should include not only gate hardware but also backbone switches, routers, firewalls, the Central GPU Server, and the Kiosk Monitoring PC. Without backup for all systems in the processing chain, gate-level UPS alone will not maintain operational capability.

Subscription Scalability

Add gates at any time — extend the subscription

Scaling usually needs no Autogate redesign

GPU server dimensioned for total camera count

Software improvements deployed across all sites

Typical minimum three-year commitment — commercial terms confirmed at proposal

The subscription fee scales linearly with the number of gate-in and gate-out lanes. A system with two gates typically supports up to twelve cameras. Customers planning future expansion should size the GPU server accordingly or prepare to upgrade when adding gates.
