Storage of Heavy & Oversized Goods

The new Kardex Megamat is an automated carousel which rotates vertically around a track to bring stored inventory to an operator.

Vertical carousels work in line with the goods-to-person principle. They are perfectly suited for goods with a high picking frequency and for similarly sized inventory.

Manufacturing companies without buffer storage may experience waiting times between individual production steps resulting in expensive downtime.

In addition, many warehouses lose valuable space when buffering customer orders ready for dispatch in the shipping area. Manual storage on pallets or in static shelves is chaotic, takes up more space than necessary, and requires longer travel distances and search times for personnel.

The implementation of automated systems for intermediate storage and consolidation of materials and goods ensures safe, fast, and smooth material flows in the production and shipping departments. What type of buffer storage best suits your needs, saves space, and can efficiently integrate into an existing warehouse?

Order fulfillment can account for 50-70% of a warehouse or distribution center’s operating expenses. It has a direct impact on customer satisfaction and internal labor resources.

Kardex offers economical and efficient automated storage and retrieval systems and efficient picking strategies to establish more effective, less expensive intralogistics solutions that also reduce personnel resources.
