Rack & Rail Automated Parking System

Overview

The rack and rail automated robotic parking system delivers fully automated vehicle storage and retrieval using fixed-rail technology — with or without trays. The rack and rail automated robotic parking system uses fixed-rail robotic shuttle units with proprietary handling mechanisms, traffic management software, limit switches, and lasers to manage the automated storage and retrieval of vehicles with or without trays. Designed for enclosed parking vaults, the system installs above, on, and below grade in multiple regular configurations to maximize parking capacity for any building footprint. Driver pulls into the loading zone and exits the vehicle. No further action required. The system is activated via touchscreen kiosk, mobile app, key fob, or remote control. The Rack & Rail Dolly and Shuttle transfer the vehicle to the designated storage stall in the vault. If required, a Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor moves the vehicle to another level. When requested, the system retrieves the vehicle and presents it at the loading zone. No attendants required. Vehicles are stored and retrieved without driver involvement beyond the loading zone. Robotic shuttle units operate on fixed rails for precise, repeatable vehicle handling across every cycle. The system handles vehicles directly or on parking trays. Proprietary handling mechanisms include comb-exchange, pallet, and pincer options. Proprietary software coordinates all shuttle and dolly movement, optimizes throughput, and manages system-wide traffic in real time. Touchscreen kiosk, mobile app, key fob, and remote control give operators and users flexible access methods. Integrated monitoring with remote access for continuous oversight and rapid response. The Rack & Rail Parking System is built around six integrated components working together. Entry and exit area where drivers park and retrieve their vehicle. Available in standard and ADA van-accessible configurations. Depending on the system, vehicles may be parked on a tray. The Maestro Traffic Management Platform coordinates all automated storage, retrieval, and robotic movement across the system.
