 Cape Towns Cavendish Square has become the first South African shopping centre to introduce an intelligent parking guidance system for visitors. |

The system, developed by Nortech International, uses state-of-the-art technology which co-ordinates vehicle movement within the parking facility. Using real-time information on occupancy, drivers are directed to available parking spaces by intersection guidance displays and colour coded LED lights red for occupied, green for available, yellow for moms and tots and blue for disabled placed above every parking bay.
Automatically adjusting ambient light conditions, the system effectively runs off a low power base, in line with the commitment by Old Mutual Investment Group Property Investments to reduce energy consumption across its managed properties. Brenda Bibby, centre manager, says the system will alleviate parking congestion and allow customers to park in a stress-free environment, adding to the Cavendish Square shopping experience. |

| Nortech was established in 1969, originally to import parking garage equipment and components. By 1980, Nortech had designed and manufactured a range of inductive loop detectors, vehicle and access-related products which were exported to European markets and later to North America, Australia and the Far East. The international success of Nortech is based on the quality, stability and durability of its product range and a strong distribution network, backed by intensive sales and marketing support. The company continues to invest in research and development to identify and react to market driven demands, diversifying its product range and increasing its value-added services to satisfy international trends and requirements. |
