Horizontal Carousels - Workforce Multiplier

Horizontal Carousels

ONE person picking or stocking with carousels delivers the productivity of THREE people using shelving alone, in 60% of the floor space required by shelving!

Carousels bring the Goods to the Person, (G2P) instead of the person going to the goods. Pick once – fulfill multiple orders with pick and Put-to-Light batch processing.

Use carousels without automation for high-density storage alone (no aisles) or… Maximize the benefit with high-density storage and high productivity by controlling the carousels with the IIS-EDGE easy to use, configurable software.
