"Cabletron stores 30% more parts in less floor space and cuts delivery times to production machines."
Ben Taylor, Manager, Cabletron Systems

"We have greatly reduced ergonomic problems in handling our large, heavy dies. In addition, we recovered 65% of our floor space."
Jennifer Kaye, Vice President, Plastic Package, Inc.

These companies and many more have implemented automated vertical storage systems, specifically the REMSTAR Vertical Lift Module (Shuttle) and Vertical Carousel. Here's how the systems achieved those results:

Space. When considering how to best manage space for inventory, most companies focus on square footage and overlook vertical capacities. The Shuttle and Vertical Carousel capitalize on the full height of the facility, thus minimizing the square footage required to store material. Implementing vertical storage systems can reduce floor space storage by 50-85% and can avoid costs of leasing additional space or moving altogether.

Productivity. In a traditional rack and shelving system, an order picker spends approximately 70% of his time walking and finding parts, achieving only 30-40 lines per hour. With vertical storage systems and inventory control software, the order picker can achieve 150-200 lines per hour with ease.

Ergonomics. Heavy loads, dies, or fixtures stored on static shelving present obvious ergonomic problems. The Shuttle and Vertical Carousel always presents the product to the operator at the same ergonomic height, substantially reducing the risk of injury.

FloStor is the exclusive REMSTAR Dealer for Northern California and Northern Nevada. We have a REMSTAR Product Manager on staff to design these systems for your specific application. Additionally, FloStor has Factory-Certified Technicians to ensure installation and service are performed in a timely and professional manner.
