Business Wire
Boomerang Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: BMER), a leading provider of
automated parking solutions, and John Bean Technologies
Corporation (NYSE: JBT), a leading global technology solutions
provider, today announced an exclusive four-year manufacturing and
software licensing agreement.
Under the agreement, JBT will manufacture the automated guided
vehicles (“AGV”) and license its SGV3000 software for incorporation
into Boomerang’s innovative RoboticValet® automated parking system.
In addition, the agreement includes Boomerang providing JBT input
to engineer a next generation AGV for Boomerang’s exclusive use in
the automated parking and consumer self-storage markets. This next
version of RoboticValet is expected to deliver improved performance
and reliability, while also being more cost effective to
manufacture.
“JBT has a 25-year track record of developing and delivering
innovative robotics technology for industry leaders across sectors,
and we are thrilled to be entering into this partnership,” said
Mark Patterson, chief executive officer of Boomerang Systems. “This
arrangement will allow us to reduce our cost structure while
improving our ability to deliver a superior product in significant
volumes and in expedited fashion. This is a transformative moment
for Boomerang that we are confident will drive significant value
for our customers, shareholders, and our company.”
JBT is recognized as one of the premier providers of AGV
technology, currently operating in the automotive, hospital,
manufacturing, and warehouse and distribution industries, among
others. As a result the company will be able to dedicate resources
to the development and manufacturing of Boomerang’s RoboticValet
technology.
“As a leading provider of sophisticated AGV solutions, we are
pleased to collaborate with Boomerang in putting our imprint on the
parking market,” said Barry Douglas, General Manager of JBT’s AGV
business. “We look forward to working with Boomerang to more
efficiently satisfy the robotic parking demand they have generated
to date, while also developing a next generation RoboticValet.
Together, we believe this is a unique opportunity to reinvent the
way people think about robotic parking.”
Boomerang's RoboticValet Parking System is a revolutionary
parking solution powered by robots that drive on concrete slab
floors to transport vehicles to and from parking spaces. The
technology eliminates the need for building ramps and reduces the
number of drive aisles allowing the cars to fit in roughly half the
space required by a conventional garage. Because cars are shut off
before being parked in the garage, carbon emissions are reduced and
less electricity is used for ventilation and lighting.
