Revitalising Urban Mobility: Vertimax Upgrades Car Stacker System at Altona Apartment Complex
The management of a boutique apartment complex at 118 Pier Street, Altona, a five-storey building comprising 25 residential units, faced a significant issue when their car stacker system became non-operational. The system, essential for optimising limited parking space, was rendered unusable due to a maintenance passcode lockout imposed by a previous service contractor. This disruption not only inconvenienced residents but also posed potential safety and operational concerns for the property managers.
The Challenge: A Locked Legacy System Disrupting Daily Operations
The primary challenge involved restoring functionality to a complex car stacker system consisting of 28 platforms, including upper, lower, and drive-through configurations. The existing Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) was outdated and inaccessible, necessitating a comprehensive overhaul. Additionally, ensuring seamless integration of the new system components without compromising the structural integrity of the existing setup was critical.
