In this episode of Manufacturing Runs The World, Shawn Adams from AutoParkIt explains how welders, fabricators, and engineers are reinventing one of the oldest urban headaches: parking. Instead of pouring more concrete, AutoParkIt doubles capacity in the same footprint, cuts operating costs by 40%, and reduces vehicle emissions by up to 83%.

From Detroit’s historic Free Press building to California stadiums and marinas, this isn’t theory—it’s manufacturing innovation in action. Imagine fully automated garages, valet service without the valet, and EV charging that slashes infrastructure costs by millions.

This is how manufacturing doesn’t just build products—it reshapes how cities live.
