Summary
Automatic ticket gate design engineers are technical professionals who design the mechanical mechanisms and electrical/control systems of automatic ticket gates used at railway stations and elsewhere.
Description
Automatic ticket gate design engineers handle the mechanical design, electrical circuit design, and development of control systems including embedded software for automatic ticket gates used at railway stations and elsewhere. Based on customer requirements and safety standards, they perform structural design and strength analysis using CAD, conduct durability tests, and verify product reliability. They also create prototypes, conduct evaluation tests, consider costs and manufacturability for mass production, and coordinate with other departments and partner companies. Recently, they are required to incorporate advanced technologies such as contactless IC technology and facial recognition systems, as well as designs for operational data collection using IoT.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected to continue from the perspective of railway infrastructure renewal and safety improvements. Furthermore, with advances in advanced technologies such as contactless and facial recognition, and data utilization through IoT, the need for design capabilities that integrate hardware and software will increase even more.
