What are robotic parking systems?
Robotic parking systems also known sometimes referred to as Automated Parking is the process of storing and retrieving various size vehicles by utilizing the latest robotic shuttle and vertical lift transfer technology to eliminate the need to parking ramps, driveways and public ingress/egress access to the facility. How many vehicles can be stored in robotic parking systems?
The kind of robotic parking systems is the parking solution for storing a large volume of vehicles in a very condensed space, which is typically a 3 to 1 ratio when compared to the standard parking garage or parking lot but is very dependent on how many floors are designed into the specific structure. What benefits are there to using robotic parking systems?
In addition to the smaller building size and increased parking capacity, this type of Automated Parking System virtually eliminates vandalism, theft, weather damage, misplaced vehicles and a valet type experience when parking your vehicle. What does it cost to operate robotic parking systems?
This of course varies on the quantity of vehicles stored and the number of levels, lifts and robotic shuttles designed into the customers. With the elimination of parking attendants, heating, cooling and lighting requirements for public access the cost to operate is relatively low and primarily is derived from power draw for the lift and shuttle operations. How long does it take for the robotic parking systems to retrieve a vehicle?
The time to retrieve a vehicle is dependent on its location in the structure, quantity of lifts designed into the system and which of the various entry/exit configurations that are used, some of which include a vehicle turn table system to rotate the vehicle 180 degrees prior to storage so the driver does not need to back up and turn when exiting the structure. On average it takes 150 seconds to retrieve a vehicle, but this time can be virtually transparent when the request for your vehicle is made from within the office/condo/building complex. How do I retrieve my vehicle in Robotic Parking Systems?
There are several options for this. Each robotic parking systems can be outfitted with various types of prepaid access card readers, tied in with building access card systems or a pay as you park scenario. When the request is made, the signal is made to the robotic shuttle on the necessary floor and transfers your vehicle to the closest open lift to bring the vehicle to ground level. At that point the ground robot shuttle transfers the vehicle to the Entry/Exit module for the driver to retrieve. What sets us apart from the rest of the Robotic Parking Systems companies? - Our system is the only one designed and capable of storing large SUV vehicles up to 3 Tons in weight where our competitors are limited to 2 - 2.5 Tons in weight.
- We have over 20 Engineers employed full-time
- Extensive material handling background with the demanding Automotive Industry
- All aspects of the project is handled by us within the United States, no overseas meetings or shipment concerns
- Our Pallet-Less system means there is less cost involved with less parts to maintain
