NorParc counting system delivers measurable improvements in traffic flow and visitor satisfaction at Sligo University Hospital
South Wales, UK – 16/10/2025 – Nortech Control Systems Ltd, a leading British access control solutions provider, today announced the successful deployment of its NorParc intelligent parking management system at Sligo University Hospital (SUH), part of the Saolta University Health Care Group. The implementation has delivered significant improvements in traffic flow and visitor experience while eliminating parking-related congestion issues.
Smart Technology Solves Complex Parking Challenges
The hospital, which serves over 200,000 people across four counties and hosts medical students from NUI Galway, faced critical parking management challenges. Multiple car parks frequently reached capacity, causing visitors to circle aimlessly in search of spaces and creating internal traffic congestion that impacted patient punctuality.
Nortech's solution deployed NCT200 controllers and RGB-LED Variable Message Signs (VMS) to provide real-time occupancy tracking and dynamic guidance to available parking spaces. The system was implemented through strategic partnerships with National Automation | FAAC Ireland and local system integrator Power Right Fire, Energy & Security.
Measurable Results and Industry Recognition
Post-implementation results demonstrate the system's effectiveness:
Mark Foley, National Sales Manager at National Automation, praised the solution's performance: "The car park counting solution effectively guided customers to the correct locations, ensuring a seamless experience. The client expressed high satisfaction with the solution, highlighting its efficiency and user-friendliness."
Industry Impact and Future Applications
This successful implementation demonstrates how intelligent parking management systems can address complex challenges in high-traffic environments such as hospitals, universities, and large commercial facilities. The project showcases Nortech's expertise in delivering complete solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure while providing measurable operational benefits.
