Under the Edutech Lecture series, Dr. B.N. College of Architecture, had organized a guest lecture by South Asia’s largest Automatio Industry, PARI- Precision Automation and Robotics India Ltd. on the 25th of June. It was indeed a privilege to know about the innova!ons in automised parking systems done by the company. The company ventures in many types of APS systems. They explained us about 7-8 di0erent con1gura!ons for automised parking systems and the technologies involved in the same. Precise descrip!on about the systems like Stack parking, Tower parking, Chess parking, Puzzle parking, Cart parking and Pit parking were introduced giving us fair knowledge about how to go about designing the parking systems and its installa!on. For any installa!on primarily number of car slots required, spaceavailable, cycle !me etc. are the most important factors in selec!on of the right system. The brief explana!ons were thereby supported by presen!ng simula!on videos and some videos of the systems already installed and prac!cal experiments at the company, which made us analyse and know more about the func!oning of the system accurately. They further added that there is very good demand of the Stack parking system and Puzzle parking systems. Also Tower system and chess Systems are considered to be popular ones. We also could infer that these systems not only set an example of robo!cs innova!on but also help in saving down the costs which would thereby be required in conventional parking systems. This leads to reduc!on in heavy fuel emissions as the car needs to be driven to the nearest parking spots and also reduction in ramps. These automated systems have dedicated entry and exit sta!ons. Beyond this point, the parking and retrieving of the car is done automa!cally by the system. All this !me the car engines are switched off reducing emissions signi1cantly. Adding to this, the projects executed by them were also explained brie6y which included, NMDC and DLF and also the world’s largest fully automated parking facility in New Delhi, which is spreadover two sites: Sarojini Naidu Nagar Market and Baba Kharag Singh marg with a joint capacity of 2432 cars. This lecture headed us to the thought of how advanced innova!ons can be used as a tool for savingon the emissions, !me and how this could be implemented as a tool to help the architectural scenario.
