Kardex Vertical
Lift…the storage system that pays its own way.
In thousands of installations throughout the
world, the difference between materials handling
and materials managing starts with the Kardex
INDUSTRIEVER® vertical lift storage system…the
most productive, most space-efficient storage
system ever designed for small parts.
It uses vertical space
instead of expensive floor space.
By utilizing vertical space up to 31 feet, the
Kardex vertical lift storage system packs more
high density storage capacity per cubic foot
than other type of system on the market.
It
works like an elevator to deliver parts to your
operators.
Picture two 31-foot stacks of tool cabinets
facing each other with a small elevator between
them. On the elevator, mount an automated
extractor which rides up and down, removing
drawers from the cabinets and delivering them to
an operator through an access opening. Install
an on-line microprocessor to control the
automated extractor, and you have a Kardex
vertical lift storage module. Put together as
many modules as you need, and you have the
hardest working storage system in the business.
It's
computer driven to work hard and smart.
The Kardex vertical lift storage system offers
you a wide range of software and control options
from the built-in microprocessor to a fully
interfaced and integrated inventory management
system. All are designed to help you manage
materials, not just handle them.
It
pays its own way day after day for company after
company.
To prove our point, we'll show you how a few American companies have turned materials
handling problems into materials managing solutions with Kardex vertical lift…
the storage system that pays its own way:
Choose the most
cost-effective of three payload capacities:
Because company managers at Greenlee Textron
believe you shouldn't pay for more payload
capacity than you need, they chose a Kardex
vertical lift storage system with payload
choices of 200 ,300 and 500 pounds per pan.
Heavy fixtures and gauges are stored in
300-pound capacity modules, while small
parts and commodities are maintained in more
cost-efficient 200-pound modules.
Combine modules to satisfy
your own specs and dimensions:
Ford
Motor company used the Kardex system's
modular design and height flexibility to
accommodate an overhead sprinkler system,
resulting in a higher storage density than
any other type of system.
Expand the system as your
storage needs change: Two months after
installing a Kardex vertical lift storage
system in their general stores department,
Procter & Gamble needed to replace an
adjoining mezzanine with a more efficient
storage system. Because the Kardex system
offers unlimited expansion capability, they
were able to add three additional modules to
the initial three-module system and link all
six modules via
Material Control System
(MCS) software.
Adjust pan spacing to
changing inventory
requirements:
After Unisys Corporation's
software inventory shifted from 5.25-inch
diskettes to 3.5-inch diskettes and CD-ROMs,
the company completely reconfigured the pan
heights of their four-module Kardex system
to maintain the highest possible storage
density.
Relocate and change module
heights as needed: When BASF Corporation
consolidated small parts storage into a
central warehouse, they relocated two 14
foot Kardex vertical lift storage modules
and expanded them to 22 feet - at a fraction
of the cost of purchasing a new storage
system.
