KardexRemstar horizontal carousels consist of an oval track with rotating bins containing shelves that deliver items to the operator. Often used in integrated workstations of carousels called a “pod.” This allows an operator to pick from one active carousel while the others are pre-positioning to be picked the moment the operator is ready. Every carousel uses one of the many integrated QuickPick® pick-to-light technologies to indicate the active carousel, shelf level and quantity of items to pick, making batch picking simple, fast and easy.

Consider the ADVANTAGES

  • Increases order picking throughput up to 600%, items are quickly delivered to the operator.
  • Reduces cubic storage space requirements 40% to 60%, freeing up valuable floor space.
  • Improves accuracy to 99.99%- Pick Light systems indicate what and howmany items to pick.
  • Reduce man-hours by up to 66%.
  • Reduce inventory by providing better management.
  • Performs at nearly 100%uptime. Rugged construction and design require littlemaintenance.
  • Reduces inventory shrinkage by increasing operator accountability.
  • Increased operator supervision – employees pick fromvisible work area.
  • Systems often provide an R.O.I. in 9 – 18months.
  • Standard Drive – highly cost effective, durable & reliable system
  • Heavy Duty – for non-stop 24/7 and heavy load applications
  • Dual Drive – for fast heavy loads & mission critical applications & highly accurate positioning

  • Reduce Space Requirements Up To 60%
      - Expand internally by increasing your storage capacity to 60%in your existing space or reclaim this un-utilized floor space for more productive purposes.
      - Shelves can be spaced as little as 2 inches apart for maximum storage density.
      - Vertically stack up to 3 carousels to maximize the use of overhead space.
  • Pick Light Systems Improve Accuracy and Productivity
      -Bright indicators show at a glance which carousel and shelf to pick from and how many items to pick, reducing picking errors and maximizing productivity.
      - Special indicators allow multiple orders to be picked simultaneously (batch picking) by showing the exact number of items for each order container, dramatically increasing operator productivity.
      - Optional software & bar coding enhance order processing, replenishing, communications to host, and reporting accuracy.
  • Design Features Provide Maximum Safety and Performance
      - KardexRemstar Horizontal Carousels are designed for fast, reliable performance…ease of use…and total safety.
      - KardexRemstar controls handles up to 4 carousels at a time, expandable up to 8.
      - Photocell sensors monitor pick face to prevent rotation when an item breaks the beam.
