Efficient Storage Solutions
Workspace Technology is excited to introduce the robust capabilities of our Horizontal Carousel storage systems. These systems are designed to improve efficiency and save space in various industrial settings. Get the storage solutions that meet the needs of high-speed order picking and parts delivery.
What are Horizontal Carousel
Horizontal Carousel is an advanced automated storage and retrieval system designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management. These systems feature motorized shelves that rotate around an oval track, moving horizontally to deliver items directly to an operator at a specified picking station. This setup optimizes retrieval, making it quick and easy for operators, whether they are working alone or with other operators.
Integrating Horizontal Carousel with advanced warehouse software speeds improves order fulfillment. The software organizes inventory into batches, coordinating with the carousel to ensure items are brought to a central picking station without manual intervention. Advanced features, like touch screens, provide immediate data on product type and quantity needed. Meanwhile, pick-to-light and put-to-light technologies guide operators to precise storage locations. The software directs them where to place items during the order fulfillment process.
You can leverage this combination of automated machinery and intelligent software to build a highly efficient system. Horizontal Carousel will speed up the picking-up process and minimize errors, enhancing the overall productivity of your warehouse operations.
Types of Horizontal Carousel
Single Carousel Layouts
These are ideal for small operations that need to use space efficiently. These single-unit systems are perfect for businesses with moderate inventory. Single carousel layouts are effective for optimizing space.
Dual Carousel Stations
These comprise two carousels positioned next to each other, usually in straight or corner (L-shaped) alignments. This setup is suitable for environments where one operator can manage multiple tasks efficiently.
Triple and Quadruple Carousel Configurations
Designed for larger facilities, these systems include three or four carousels organized in various configurations such as linear (I-shaped), angular (L-shaped), or encircling (U-shaped). These carousel setups are best for simultaneous access by multiple operators, boosting productivity in high-demand settings.
Multilevel Carousel Systems
Multilevel carousels utilize the vertical space. They stack two or three units high effectively helping buildings with taller ceilings. Each level operates alone. It allows for high-density storage and retrieval. Multiple operators can work on it at the same time.
Elevated Carousel Workstations
Featuring two to four carousels with an integrated lift platform that moves operators to the correct height for item retrieval. This design maximizes operator efficiency and safety, suitable for high volume output.
These configurations demonstrate the flexibility of horizontal carousel systems to adapt to varying warehouse sizes and operational needs, enhancing productivity through tailored layout options.
Benefits of Horizontal Carousel
Optimal Efficiency and Productivity
Horizontal Carousels are engineered to maximize picking productivity. By adopting a "goods to person" strategy, these systems minimize the time and effort required by operators to access items. Such systems can handle high volumes efficiently. They are capable of servicing up to 500 lines per operator per hour. Your business can significantly reduce labor costs and enhance productivity.
Advanced Accuracy and Error Reduction
Coupled with the enterprise-level software, our Horizontal Carousels ensure near-perfect order accuracy. These systems guide operators directly to the item's location and indicate the exact quantity needed. You will notice drastic reduction in picking errors with an order fulfillment accuracy as high as 99.9%.
Space Optimization
The biggest benefit of Horizontal Carousels is space optimization. Even with their expansive utility, they are designed to be space-efficient. Facilities with limited floor space or low ceilings can effectively use them to save space. Horizontal Carousels can compactly store items and eliminate the need for large aisle spaces. These systems can be configured up to three levels high, substantially increasing storage density. They are ideal for a variety of work environments.
Scalable and Customizable
Workspace technology can work with you to meet the specific needs of your business. Our systems are perfect for small operations as well as large distribution centers. Horizontal Carousels can be installed as standalone systems or integrated into more complex configurations with multiple units to handle increased demand, especially during peak times.
Robust Inventory Management
Advanced warehouse management software integrated with these systems enables seamless inventory control. They ensure consistent cycle counting and real-time stock updates. This integration will help businesses maintain accurate inventory levels and also automate reordering processes. You can prevent stockouts and maintain continuous business operations.
