Here are some common challenges the engineering and mechanical industries face, and how our vertical carousels serve as much-needed solutions:
- Space constraints: Limited physical space is a major challenge in these industries, and is further compounded by the need to store raw materials, large machinery and finished goods. Vertical carousels solve this problem by using the free vertical space that is often wasted in engineering and mechanical facilities.
- Inventory management complexities: Due to the large volume of inventory these industries handle, it can be difficult to organize and manage material stock efficiently. Integrating our vertical carousels with inventory management systems can simplify the process, allowing for accurate tracking and reduced errors.
- High risks of damage: Space constraints often lead to reliance on overcrowded or makeshift storage solutions. Our vertical carousels make the most of unused spaces, creating more room for proper storage of delicate parts and components. Additionally, they can be customized to incorporate padding, dividers and other safeguarding measures to protect against damage during storage.
- Safety hazards: Traditional storage solutions expose staff in these industries to a high risk of workplace injuries, including falls and improper lifting. Vertical carousels are much easier to access without physical strain, keeping employees safe.
- Long retrieval times and inefficient workflows: Poor organization of inventory as a result of haphazard storage creates bottlenecks in production workflows. It also makes it difficult for engineers and technicians to retrieve items promptly. Our automated vertical storage carousels can reduce retrieval times and improve workflows.
Use Cases for Engineering Storage Solutions and Mechanical Storage Systems
The following are some use cases for carousels and custom racks in the engineering and mechanical industries:
- Engineering inventory storage: Our automated engineering storage systems can be used to store inventory, including specialized tools, electronic components and prototype parts.
- Document storage: Carousels can safely store containers for documents and engineering drawings.
- MRO inventory: Vertical carousels and racks are useful for organizing and storing maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) inventory.
