Spacegate Automated Carparking Technology: SAPS/ Products

1. Cost Saving / Revenue Generation

Lowering the overall development costs - half the space will be developed for the & same number of cars.
For basement garages, one can release as much as 50% cost savings on the excavation alone.
Lowering the overall operation costs. Adding revenue generating floor area. Optimum usage of Land. Specially where the success of the project is dependent upon the capability to fill the parking requirements,which can't be easily met with a conventional garage.

Double the number of cars in the same space or same no of cars in half the space.
Greater efficiency of space changes the efficiency of land use.
No need for turning radii, slope for ramps and width of drive aisles as there are none.

Ground floor Access only. Secured - drive in at ground level into a well lit easy access entrance area, push a button and then you simply walk away. Hassle free!
Reduced Danger. - eliminates the risk of vehicle damage or theft, No people in side the Garage.
Cars totally safe not exposed to weather conditions. Fully enclosed structure. Arrival at destination. No driving around looking for a space to park, drive right up to the garage. Average time to park a car is ranging from 30 to 40 seconds.
The average time to retrieve a car is 35 seconds.

Pollution free alternative. Car engines turned off, no choking car emissions.
Elimination of huge amounts of toxic emissions - saves over 6,000 gallons of gasoline per year on an average 500 space garage.
Eliminates toxic emissions of Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxide, and Carbon Dioxide.

The facade is completely flexible and can be designed to blend in with the neighbouring buildings with a look that is contemporary, historic, traditional, etc.
The materials that can be used are completely versatile as well - concrete, wood, brick, stone, aluminum, etc.
Underground applications are particularly well suited for this system since only half the space is required.

The basic layout of the system design requires a typical slab / mat foundation, a steel structure and the machines riding on the provided supporting steel beams.
The steel structure presents a kind of erector set with the needed amount of levels composed by columns, beams and sufficient bracing to meet all wind and earthquake requirements. This structure also supports horizontal and vertical loads of the roof and the facade. Therefore the roof and facade do not need separate super structures and can be attached to the actual steel structure with respective vibration and sound absorbing anchors with a span of 8 feet only.
The bracing and columns are very adaptive for earthquake or heavy wind or snow loads as well.
The system provides for a closed facade and roof to architecturally blend into the neighbourhood and protect the vehicles as well as keep the vehicles sheltered, there is a practical need for a fire fighting system installation like a sprinkler system.
Lighting can be limited for maintenance purpose and no mechanical ventilation is necessary since no engines run inside the facility. Natural ventilation is provided by the installation of louvers in the roof.

Enhanced design whereby all three movements (in out, up down, back forth) are separated and handled by individual intelligent components with true redundancy. No single failure will result in the garage becoming inoperable.
The system can be disassembled and relocated at any time.
Provision of handling human factors, disabled zones and buffer zones in each design.
System provides for full Auxiliary power backup and can work on fully automatic, semi automatic, manual and joystick mode.
The Spacegate Carparking System offers a level of redundancy,. In some cases, the redundancy is as much as fourfold!

System Evolution and maintenance is very important for any automation project. With a proper maintenance contract in place with 24x7 support and a short response time, this technology is as reliable as it can be expected.
Provide a graphical user interface, which generates automatic reports about runtimes, necessary maintenance checks and many more features to keep the system reliability up.
Provide one of the highest levels of maintenance in the industry. The systems will use high quality components, factory train all its technicians, conduct routine preventative maintenance checks and provide an extensive 24x7 support to all its clients, as it will utilize HMI (Human Machine Interface) sophisticated diagnostic tool to help maintain a high level of uptime.

An online hotline will be installed on a 24/7/365 basis with a response time of 15 mins. The hotline is connected to our headquarters in USA, IT offices in UK, Hungary and Dubai directly. With this, systems can be viewed and diagnosed in real time and our engineers can access the system remotely and troubleshoot on the go if necessary.
As preventative measures, the software provides up to 5 different alarm messaging classifications. These report any condition recognized prior to a malfunction, notify three locations simultaneously. Valuable time is gained to correct any reported deviation in due time before a failure would occur.
The Space gate Car parking System offers an unprecedented level of redundancy.

The Spacegate Parking Systems will be covered by the following insurances on every installation:

Umbrella liability coverage with a value per occurrence depending on the size of the Garage.
Design Omission & Errors with a v alue per occurrence.
Breakdown insurances coverage.
