How automated carousels can benefit your operation
Carousels offer many concrete benefits, including:
- Space savings
- Time savings
- Ergonomics
- Flexibility
- Integration with almost any digital system

Product protection is also a factor with vertical carousels, which enclose your load in a dust cover protection panel system that minimizes dust and particulates in product storage. This reduces housekeeping and plant maintenance burdens.
How much space do vertical systems save?
Because of its minimal footprint, a vertical carousel provides the same amount of storage space as multiple rows of traditional shelving or modular drawers or carton flow racks, for that matter. In this scenario, a standard vertical system saves over 1,400 square feet of expensive floor space for other uses. And you also get the automation, security, and accuracy/throughput increases along with that extra space.
Use vertical carousels to increase storage density, throughput and efficiency while reducing inventory and labor costs.
- Carousels reduce walking and order picking "search time," which drives productivity increases of up to 2.5 times
- Vertical carousels provide significant space savings over traditional static storage solutions - the increase in storage density can result in floor space recovery of more than 75%.
- Systems are easily interfaced with many warehouse management systems, warehouse control systems, or other host architectures
