Mobile App
The Robotic Parking System phone app can be used to trigger the storage and retrieval process. The automated system can also be integrated with various payment options using either credit card or on-line transactions.
Touchless and Effortless
Whether users are valued members or guests, our app places control over the entire parking process at their fingertips. This app acts as part of our robot valet parking system and eliminates the need for physical tickets or cards.
By scanning a code with the mobile app, users can seamlessly park their vehicles without waiting in line. When it’s time to retrieve and leave, just a few taps on the app allows users to select “retrieve,” and their vehicle is queued up.
The mobile app provides users real-time delivery information, keeping them in the loop throughout the parking process. Users receive delivery information and a notice indicating the gate where the car will be returned, making the parking experience transparent and user-friendly.
App users can pay parking fees seamlessly within the app, eliminating the wait at a kiosk.
Robotic Parking Electric Vehicle Charging © Stations
Robotic Parking Systems makes every effort to offer our clients options that integrate with the latest transportation technologies. Our optional Robotic Parking Electric Vehicle Charging © station is available with all of our automatic parking garages. Once an electric car is driven into and parked in the terminal and the charging cord connected between the vehicle and the pallet, the system can automatically charge the vehicle using a ‘Level 2’ system at the parking slot.
Once a vehicle is charged, the Robotic Parking System can automatically move the car from the charging station into non-charging slot to make room for other vehicles to be charged. In this way fewer charging stations can be utilized to charge more cars.
Costs for the optional charging stations can be provided as separate line item. Developers can then choose as few or as many charging stations as suits their project.

Pallet Cleaning System
A Pallet Cleaning System is automatically integrated into the system if a project is located in a region that regularly receives snow and ice.
This vacuum system cleans the pallets as needed after a car exits from the entry / exit terminal. This action is particularly critical during the winter season to remove snow and ice. The inside of the Robotic Parking Systems’ garage must remain above freezing to ensure fluids can be removed from the pallet and tires do not become frozen to the pallet.
Integrated, Automated Car Wash
Robotic Parking Systems uses leading brushless car wash manufacturers for integration into our fully automated parking system. One such product that we have installed is the MARK VII brushless portal with auto drying system.
The car wash is integrated into the automated parking system and performs the wash procedure through software embedded commands. To achieve full LEED certification, Robotic Parking Systems recommends implementing the car wash together with a full water recycling system that only uses five liters of fresh water per one car wash. The remaining water needed will be used from fully recycled water that is stored in nearby tanks.
Container Storage
Robotic Parking Systems has developed storage containers that easily allow spaces not needed for parking to be used for other purposes such as the storage of household goods. Simply, containers are utilized instead of the pallets used for cars. The automated machinery moves and stores both the car and the container in the same manner.
The storage containers are the same dimensions (7 x 19 x 7 ft. 8 in. / 2,100 x 5,740 x 2030 mm) as the vehicle pallets making the system components fully modular and interchangable.
Containers can be compartmented into various sizes as well as equipped with shelves. This provides extreme flexibility for large and small storage needs.
Additionally, this type of storage is very convenient for users. Goods can be loaded into the container directly from the car — the container will be brought to you in the terminal area. There is no need to load the goods on carts and wind through long aisles or go up and down elevators to arrive at your designated storage bin.
This feature can also be combined with our Loading / Unloading Stations.
FIRE BOX™
Electric vehicles are powered by lithium-ion batteries, known for their high energy density and efficiency. However, they also pose a risk of thermal runaway, a phenomenon where the battery’s temperature rapidly increases, potentially leading to a fire. This can be triggered by several factors, including manufacturing defects, physical damage, overcharging, or exposure to high temperatures or flooding, etc.
Robotic Parking Systems’ FIRE BOX represents a groundbreaking advancement in addressing the risks associated with EV battery fires in parking structures. Unlike traditional firefighting methods, the FIRE BOX aims to prevent a fire from escalating (spreading to other vehicles) by swiftly relocating the vehicle to a safe, controlled environment.
Loading / Unloading Stations
To provide higher Peak Traffic (the number of cars in and out per hour) in the system, Robotic Parking Systems developed special Loading & Unloading Stations that can be installed on the side of the actual drive-in terminals. These specialized terminals are for the patron’s convenience for loading or unloading the car, or in case someone forgot something in the vehicle after it has already being transferred inside the system. Vehicles cannot be driven off these terminals, and they are only accessible through a man door.
Security Portal
For applications that require high security, Robotic Parking Systems can install an extremely sensitive drive through portal which detects narcotics, explosives, radioactive materials, plastic weapons and even bodies hidden inside trunks. The security portal would be installed in the drive way to the Robotic Parking System just prior to driving into the entry terminals.
The security portal creates photo-like gamma-ray images revealing the threats.
