Leading companies utilize vertical carousels to increase storage density, throughput and efficiency while reducing inventory, and man-hours. A vertical carousel can provide up to 35 feet high of storage to maximize vertical cube. A unit may have up to 60 pans or shelf levels in a carousel. These pans may be triple tiered to provide up to 180 levels of storage accessible with a push of a button. Items may be queued and batch picked to maximize carousel rotation time.
Operators are always visible to a supervisor, reducing idle time.
Microprocessor or PC controls allow multiple orders to be batch picked and will always rotate via the shortest path to reduce operator idle time. Operators are visible to supervisors and items are brought to the counter which eliminates wasted walk and search time. A vertical carousel may have up to four pick windows to allow access to multiple zones. Vertical Carousels deliver items to a convenient work counter without walking, bending and reaching. After several hours of picking from shelving fatigue diminishes productivity Accuracy - counter area is always lit to minimize eye strain.
