High density storage
February 1st 2006 Kardex has updated its Industriever range of vertical carousel systems with the latest integrated inventory management and access software. Capable of operating as a central inventory store or as a fully integrated on-line parts access system, the Industriever system requires only a few square metres of floor space to manage anything from miniature components to parts 2.5m or more in length.
By combining the new, flexible software system with ergonomic handling and goods-to-operator delivery, the system enables time savings during picking and delivers increased stock accuracy. Accuracy levels of over 99% are frequently achieved. By ensuring that parts are delivered at a comfortable working height, the Industriever is said to eliminate around 80% of the manual handling effort typically associated with static shelving systems.
Industriever systems use a series of shelves rotating under automatic control.
Advanced picking and sequencing algorithms, which can operate in standalone mode or integrate with all major WMS, minimise travel time and encourage high productivity.
The vertical carousel configuration allows the highest possible storage density and best use of limited floor space. High value goods can also benefit from a range of fire protection and suppression systems, while full operator ID and access control minimises the risk of stock theft.
