Procurement Analysis for Indoor vs. Outdoor Amusement Equipment 

Executive Summary: Operational Models & Revenue Logic

For investors, selecting between Indoor and Outdoor Amusement Equipment is a decision regarding the business model rather than just the location.

• Outdoor Parks: Typically characterized by “Peak Season” revenue (often generating significant income during holidays) and high ticket prices. They require equipment that serves as a visual landmark.
• Indoor Centers (FEC): Rely on “High Frequency” visits and consistent year-round foot traffic from shopping malls. The focus is on space efficiency and maximizing revenue per square meter.

Technical Comparison: Material & Engineering Standards

A critical factor in procurement is understanding the engineering differences required for different environments.

Feature	Outdoor Amusement Equipment	Indoor/Mall Equipment
Material Durability	Weather Resistance. Requires Hot-dip Galvanization and UV-resistant coatings to withstand rain and sun exposure.	Aesthetic Precision. Emphasizes automotive-grade paint finishes and detailed craftsmanship for close-range viewing.
Foundation Requirements	Civil Engineering. Large structures typically require concrete foundations. Swawa Solution: Modular bases available for semi-permanent installation.	Non-Invasive Installation. [1] Uses weighted bases or pneumatic tires to protect mall flooring without requiring ground excavation.
Protection Rating	High (IP54 / IP65). Electrical components must be waterproof and dustproof.	Safety & Noise Control. Focuses on quiet operation and sensitive safety sensors for close-proximity interaction.
Operational Constraints	Weather Dependent. Operations may halt during rain or extreme wind.	Floor Load Limits. Equipment weight must align with mall standards (typically 3.5kN/m² – 5.0kN/m²).

Outdoor Procurement Strategy: Visibility & Capacity

When planning for outdoor parks, equipment selection should focus on visual impact and throughput capacity.

• Visual Landmarks: High-altitude equipment serves as a natural advertisement.
  • Product Example: StarCore Agents™ Sci-Fi “Nuclear Crisis” Flying Chair (36-Seat) Its height and rotation increase park visibility from a distance.
• Capacity Management: To handle peak holiday traffic, high-capacity rides are essential to maintain revenue flow.
  • Product Example: StarCore Agents™ “Energy Plan” Mountaineer Ride (30 Persons)or Swawa Poseidon Pirate Ship (24 Seats) These units are designed for efficient passenger throughput.
• Thematic Consistency: Adopting a unified theme enhances the visitor experience and perceived value.
  • Strategy: Utilizing a complete IP solution, such as the Mecha Style Pendulum paired with the Alien Invasion Rotating Battle Ship creates a cohesive “Sci-Fi Zone.”

Indoor Procurement Strategy: Efficiency & Flexibility

Indoor environments, particularly shopping malls, require equipment that maximizes revenue per square meter.

• Flexible Assets: Mobile equipment allows operators to utilize walkways and atriums effectively.
  • Product Example: StarCore Agents™ Electric Trackless Train It requires no installation, protects flooring, and functions as both an attraction and a shuttle.
• Turnover Efficiency: Compact rides with short cycles (approx. 3 minutes) are ideal for high-traffic areas.
  • Product Example: Galaxy Themed Bumper Cars or Futuristic Cat-Themed Bumper Cars These are battery-operated and easy to relocate.
• Visual Appeal: Aesthetic design is crucial in a retail environment to attract attention.
  • Product Example: Swawa Lucky Carousel or Futuristic Cyber-Cat Jumping Ride High-quality lighting and design encourage social media sharing, providing organic marketing.

Maintenance & Support: Operational Assurance

Reliable after-sales support is a key component of the procurement decision for international buyers.

1. Spare Parts Kit: Swawa includes essential consumables (such as sensors ) with the shipment to minimize downtime risks
2. Video Support Center: We provide remote technical guidance to assist local engineering teams with troubleshooting and maintenance

Pre-Investment Checklist

Before finalizing procurement, investors should verify the following technical prerequisites:

• Power Supply: Confirm availability of 3-Phase Industrial Power (380V) for large outdoor rides like the
• Logistics: Verify container loading plans. Compact packing for items like the Interstellar Space Shuttle can significantly reduce shipping costs.
• Compliance: Ensure equipment meets local safety standards (e.g., ASTM, EN, or GB standards).
