Engineering and system design
Stacking layouts, structural and electrical requirements, control narrative, single-line diagrams and I/O lists. The decisions made here set your clear heights and your service size.
EngineeringCapabilities
Four companies' worth of work, done by one.
Most parking vendors do one or two of these and subcontract the rest. Every handoff between firms is a place where scope falls through — usually between the steel and the controls, and usually discovered during commissioning.

Before the job starts
Deciding whether it fits, and getting it approved.
Design and permitting support
Permit documentation and direct work with the local authority having jurisdiction. Many AHJs have never reviewed an automated system, and that conversation is cheap at schematic design and expensive at plan check.
Design & permittingBuilding it
Steel, panel and software, under one roof.
Manufacturing
Steel fabrication and assembly in our own 125,000 sq ft facility, plus a 25,000 sq ft Las Vegas facility building EV chargers in the United States. We are an OEM — we do not resell someone else's equipment.
125,000 sq ft
ManufacturingUL 508A control panels
Power distribution, motor control, safety circuits and communications in one certified assembly — with SCCR calculated and documented, and enclosure rating matched to where the panel will actually live.
UL 508AMTR on staff
UL 508A panelsPLC, HMI and SCADA
The motion sequence and the interface residents use, written to a documented control narrative — so the next engineer to open the cabinet can read what it does.
Documented logic
SoftwareGetting it running
Installed and commissioned by the people who built it.
Installation
Our own crews, coast to coast. No installation subcontractor learning your system on your job.
InstallationCommissioning and field services
Factory Acceptance Testing before the system ships, Site Acceptance Testing after it lands, operator training and an as-built set at handover. Problems surface in our building, not your garage.
CommissioningCommissioning is where parking projects go wrong. It sits at the end of the schedule, so when the job slips, it gets compressed. Testing the panel with its logic loaded before it leaves the factory is the cheapest hour anyone spends on the project.
The next twenty-five years
What happens after everyone else has gone home.
Maintenance and monitoring
Preventive maintenance plans, and 24/7 remote monitoring on every semi-automated and fully automated installation. We see the error code before the phone rings.
MaintenanceEmergency service
When a system stops with cars inside it. Remote diagnosis first, so a technician arrives knowing what is wrong.
Emergency serviceModernization and retrofit
Controls replacement and system upgrades — including on equipment we did not originally supply, and on systems whose original manufacturer is long gone.
ModernizationArc flash and electrical safety
Hazard analysis, incident energy calculation, short circuit and coordination studies, NFPA 70E labeling and training for the electrical room that serves the system.

Where the panels come from
Applied Gray Matter
Control panels are fabricated by our sister company, a UL 508A certified panel shop with a UL 508A MTR on staff. It is the reason "we build the controls" is a statement about our own building rather than a purchase order.
Outside parking, the same shop serves industrial controls, arc flash studies, PCB design, and data center and AI facility controls.

[CLIENT TO PROVIDE] — a lead time
The strongest single line of copy across the twelve competitors audited was a published panel lead time in the hero. If a defensible figure exists for panels or complete systems, it belongs at the top of this page, not in an FAQ.

Need one of these, or all of them?
We take complete parking projects, and we take single scopes — a panel for equipment we did not supply, a controls retrofit, an arc flash study.
