According to the Ministry of State for Military Production, the Helwan Company for Engineering Industries (Factory 99) has managed to produce and test the first sample of the Rotary smart park, with a local manufacturing rate of up to 55 percent, as part of Cairo’s keenness to strengthen cooperation with International companies to transfer and localize new technologies, in line with the state’s 2030 plan for sustainable development.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Helwan Company for Engineering Industries, Eng. Khaled Mahmoud Zaki, stated that it is scheduled to transfer the entire technology and manufacture it locally by 100 percent, in three short-term phases, indicating in a statement that his company’s team has studied the safety of the surgeon and the feasibility of implementation.
Specifications
The rotary smart parking is a metal structure that works with a smart transmission technology system, which is installed on an area of 35 square meters, and accommodates from 8 to 20 cars upon request, and is installed on a concrete base, and it can be dismantled, transported and installed in another place, and it can also be operated manually in In the event of a power outage.
The head of the company indicated that the model, which the factory has completed and tested, is suitable for use in clubs, hospitals, banks, public institutions, residential areas, car factories and parking stations, as it is easy to install in a small space. .
And the smart revolving parking units would contribute significantly to solving the crisis of the lack of parking spaces in many vital areas, through which the capacity of the available spaces could be doubled 10 times, with the possibility of parking 20 cars in an area of 35 square meters.
waiting places
Commenting on this, Ayman El-Dabaa, a traffic safety consultant at the United Nations and a member of the Roads, Transport and Traffic Research Council, said in exclusive statements to Sky News Arabia: “We have a big problem in the waiting areas in the central area, in Cairo, Giza and Qalyubia (Greater Cairo),” As well as in the capitals of the governorates, and we have a significant increase in the average number of car ownership annually, with an increase rate of 4 to 6 percent annually, and this requires creating suitable parking spaces.”
He points out that “in the absence of sufficient land or parking spaces, it was necessary to resort to alternative solutions, including fixed concrete multi-storey car parks, as well as other types of parking, which are mechanical or hydraulic parking lots that have smart technology, using the smart card. Which recognizes the car and stops it in its appropriate place to wait, as well as when it is called after that.”
The traffic expert explains that this step is “excellent” in order to exploit the available places, even if temporary exploitation, given that they can be dismantled, installed and transported in other places, and therefore these positions can serve different places and contribute to solving the crisis of parking as well as the exploitation of space lands at times specific.
High accuracy
The smart rotary car parking system relies on units of high accuracy and quality to ensure the highest levels of security and safety, and transmission technology was used that allows the use of smart cards in the operation process, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of State for Military Production.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Helwan Company for Engineering Industries confirmed the company’s readiness to meet the Egyptian market’s needs of these units by equipping a production line and a specialized team of company engineers and technicians, explaining in his statement that the model was implemented through cooperation with the private sector represented by “Rokan Investment and Trade” Development and Project Management”, a young start-up company with an ambitious team, they sought a lot to transfer this technology here in Egypt, and they are the ones who coordinate with the foreign partner represented by Jiyo Road International Company, which has smart rotary garage technology. He pointed out that the Egyptian partner will undertake the installation and maintenance of these units.
