CONPDS AUTOGATE
What the Recurring Subscription Includes
The Autogate commercial model consists of a one-time project fee plus an annual per-gate subscription. This page describes the recurring subscription only. Customer-provided site infrastructure is separate from both.

What the Subscription Includes
The Autogate commercial model consists of a one-time project fee plus an annual per-gate subscription. This page describes the recurring subscription. Customer-provided site infrastructure is separate from both. Initial deployment, on-site commissioning, and go-live services are covered by the project fee — not the annual subscription.
The subscription covers ConPDS-supplied lane electronics, software licences, updates, ongoing support, and post-go-live configuration — per gate, per year. 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.

Ongoing Support
Remote diagnostics, system health supervision, configuration backups, and post-go-live optimisation
sync_alt
DepotMaster Integration
REST API integration with booking system and VMS — maintained under the subscription
update
Ongoing Updates
Software updates, performance enhancements, and OCR model improvements
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 compute running OCR, analytics, and DepotMaster integration. Dedicated hardware is preferred; supported virtualised deployments can be used where suitable GPU access is available. 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
Kiosk Computing Device — 20 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.
