Do you prefer parking systems that maintain physical ticket options as a backup to automated tech?
Amano McGann has introduced the ONEflex Ticketless LPR feature for its Amano ONE platform. This system utilizes license plate recognition to generate virtual parking tickets while maintaining hybrid hardware capabilities for facilities.
Why it matters
Operators face operational pressure to automate entry and exit processes while retaining redundancy for hardware failures. This dual-model approach allows managers to maintain throughput when cameras fail to read license plates by triggering an automated physical ticket backup.
The Amano Group, which produces the new ONEflex software, reports $1 billion in annual revenues. The platform supports both front- and rear-capture camera installations to ensure high read reliability across varied facility configurations.
The players
Amano McGann
A major developer of integrated parking hardware and software systems for facilities across North America.
Amano Group
A global firm with $1 billion in annual revenue that serves as the parent company for specialized parking management technologies.
The details
The ONEflex system operates through an Entry Flex Lane, where cameras capture license plates upon arrival. If the software fails to read a plate, it triggers a physical ticket dispenser as a fallback, ensuring continued access for all vehicles. Payments are processed through facility-specific URLs and QR codes to further reduce reliance on manual attendant intervention.

Market Landscape
This launch follows the industry trend of integrating automated license plate recognition into the established Amano ONE platform. It marks a shift toward hybrid, fault-tolerant infrastructure that accommodates both digital-native users and vehicles that require legacy ticket hardware.
Facility managers should evaluate if their current camera infrastructure supports the front- and rear-capture requirements of the new system. Consider auditing your existing hardware's compatibility to determine if you can bypass full upgrades by integrating the ONEflex software.
The takeaway
The move toward hybrid ticketless systems minimizes the friction of manual ticketing while mitigating the risk of total gate failure during software or camera outages. Operators should track the conversion rate of virtual versus physical tickets to refine their future hardware replacement cycles.
