We had hired Intelini to develop generic parking manager product with integrated AI algorithm to calculate all required sequences in shortest routs for all possible\different parking configurations. The possible valid layouts is enormous and Intelini managed to develop AI algorithm to make it happen and save months of manual work of few engineers with much better performances to the end clients.

The SOW was in 2 parts:

1. Generic product using 3D visualization
2. AI algorithm to enhance performance and reduce future costs

Generic Product - it took us about 3 months to develop the first part, we had include unity 3D UI with many other amazing features including support of different user controls such as NFC and RF Id (433Khz) devices, lots of API end points etc..

AI algorithm - took us about 4 months to accomplish V1, amazing outcome, it calculates all required sequences for any provided layout in seconds. This is really a unique and revolutionary product.
