Improve Your Picking & Storage Operation Performance
Horizontal carousels (HC) are the ideal solution when you need high-speed picking in a low ceiling environment. The carousel consists of carriers (bins) mounted on an oval track that rotate horizontally and deliver stored goods to the picker. In either a production or distribution setting, the HC is extremely effective in saving space, reducing labor costs, increasing throughput and improving accuracy and inventory control. If you're looking to introduce automation to your operation, a HC is a great way to maximize productivity and accuracy while making picking operations fast and easy.

Increased Floor Space
One of the most obvious benefits to automated carousel systems is the increased space savings they provide. Most shelving units waste aisle space and don't allow you to fully utilize the ceiling height of your facility. Automated carousels, however, offer high density storage within a compact footprint -
Better Pick Accuracy
The problem with manual pick processes is that they significantly increase the opportunity for human error to occur. Make sure you avoid costly picking mistakes and pick errors in your customer orders by integrating an automated industrial carousel system into your operations. -
Decreased Labor Demand
By delivering goods directly to your operators, automated carousels dramatically decrease the time spent walking and searching for items while simultaneously increasing worker productivity. This allows you to reassign manual picking labor to other necessary tasks without losing throughput.
-
Increased Throughput
In a manual picking operation, employees typically fill only one order a time, which translates into lower pick-per-hour rates. Automated carousel systems utilize a goods-to-person concept which double throughput by eliminating walk and search times. -
Greater Inventory Control
Avoid missing or misplaced goods by implementing an automated industrial carousel system in your facility to keep better track of your products. Plus, a carousel will help quickly and efficiently locate items for taking stock of your current inventory. -
Better Safety & Ergonomics
Deliver stored items within the Golden Zone—between the shoulders and the knees—to eliminate the need to bend down or overstretch to reach materials when order picking, preventing workplace injury and the likelihood of worker's compensation claims.
