Carousels
Carousels
Turn Inventory Faster
Horizontal and vertical carousels are simple, parts-to-picker systems. They keep
inventory moving and ready for sudden demand. One picker using two stock-locator
driven horizontal carousels can easily pick up to 120 line items per hour. Vertical
carousels with pick indicator lights guide the picker to the exact SKU, raising
accuracy and throughput even further.
Carousels
Handle a Variety of Products
Carousels can stage and speed the fulfillment of orders for finished product or
bring parts to point of use for assembly, whether the loads handled are large units
or hundreds of small components. Each pod presents multiple part numbers to the
operator.
Carousels
Provide Degrees of Automation
When used with appropriate control software, efficient routings can be made that
ensure no time is spent waiting for parts to arrive a the pick-point. The newest
horizontal carousel systems can be equipped with mechanical extractors to free manpower
for other tasks and allow completely automated full-case picking. Replenishment
stock can be called up automatically as well, making pick line stock-outs a thing
of the past.
Carousels are Affordable Automation
Carousels provide a high level of throughput at a very affordable price. In fact,
the average horizontal carousel usually costs no more to purchase than a well-equipped
forklift truck. Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance keeps these productivity
tools humming for years to come with no unplanned downtime. And most carousels are
equipped to be moved mechanically so that, even in a power outage, inventory remains
accessible.
