Industrial Carousel
Industrial Carousels consist of a series of shelves that rotate on your command delivering selected items to you at an ergonomically safe and convenient access point.
The Industrial Carousel is an automated computer controlled vertical carousel which can operate both as a central inventory store and as an online materials handling solution. The Industrial Carousel requires only a few square meters of floor space and makes full use of the available ceiling height. The "Goods to man" principle of automated order picking saves operators countless time eliminating trips to and from rows of static shelving bays or even worse mezzanine floors. The combined use of advanced control and software systems substantially reduces pick times and improves stock accuracy enormously.
Benefits
Save Space - Production and storage space is expensive. However, Industrial Carousels require only a few square meters of floor space and make full use of the available ceiling height.
Saving Time - The “Goods to Man” principle of automated order-picking saves the operator countless trips to and from static storage locations saving 1000s of man hours. The combined use of advanced software and automated retrieval systems substantially reduces pick times. Access and retrieval times can be determined precisely and are integrated either fully or partly into automated processes.
Health and Safety - The HSE guidelines on manual handling are comprehensive and clearly make employers responsible for introducing automation where possible to avoid the risks associated with manual handling. We estimate that 80% of the physical effort associated with manual systems will be eliminated by the introduction of Industrial Carousels.
Improved Stock Accuracy - Stock transactions are recorded and the information captured, resulting in stock accuracy levels frequently in excess of 99%, fewer surprise stock losses and reduced “safety buffer” stocks.
Better Security - Valuable and/or sensitive inventory is protected by closing doors at the picking face and the Industrial Carousel can also have a range of additional security options including PIN protection to protect contents from unauthorized access.
Improved Ergonomics - The operator area of the Industrial Carousel – the access opening – is located at the optimum working height eliminating concerns about manual handling of heavy or awkward shaped goods. Climbing steps or ladders, and bending over to pick up heavy loads are all non productive physical activities of the past.
Specifications - Industrial Carousel units are available in a variety of dimensions, types, tray loads and options to meet any customer's special needs.
