India's ARAPL Secures INR 190 Million Order for Smart Parking Robot System

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 9, India's Affordable Robotic & Automation Limited (ARAPL) announced that it has secured an order worth approximately INR 190.007 million (excluding taxes) for an automated guided vehicle (AGV) smart parking system, covering system design, manufacturing, supply, installation, and commissioning, with a contract execution period of 18 months from the date of project commencement. This order is the largest single order secured by the company's next-generation AGV parking business since its commercial launch in September 2026.

The order utilizes smart parking technology under ARAPL's Relipark brand. The system is centered on battery-powered autonomous mobile robots, which complete vehicle transport, positioning, and retrieval through robot fleet scheduling, no longer relying primarily on the fixed mechanical transmission structures composed of chains, conveyors, pallets, couplings, and multiple motors found in traditional multi-level mechanical parking systems.

AGV robots are capable of performing vehicle transport tasks based on the internal layout of parking facilities, with unified scheduling by the control system. Compared with traditional mechanical parking equipment, the mobile robot solution reduces the number of fixed transmission components, and parking areas can be configured in a modular manner according to project conditions. In the event of a single robot failure, the system can dispatch other robots to take over the task, reducing the impact of individual equipment failures on overall parking operations.

In addition to product development, ARAPL plans to expand the Relipark system to airport, commercial real estate, and high-end residential parking facilities. For the retrofit of existing parking lots, the company is researching robotic parking solutions that do not require large-scale structural modifications. The company's preliminary assessment suggests that, under suitable site conditions, parking capacity is expected to increase by approximately 40% to 50%, with actual results depending on site layout, circulation space, structural conditions, and project design.
