Using C3000 controls, CubeStarŽ-equipped ShuttleŽ VLM measures each tray profile to nearest inch, determining exact storage requirement. Control system determines best position in machine based on least amount of space used and fastest retrieval position. Items are automatically scanned to verify height of contents on each tray. Since Shuttle VLM can accommodate both fixed and variable height objects, it is suited for organizations with materials that vary in height.
Organizations Can Increase Storage Capacity up to 50% with New Shuttle VLM Cubestar Technology
The CubeStarŽ automated high-density system from Remstar provides up to an additional 50% of storage capacity per unit by combining both hardware and controls to increase storage efficiency. The unique design and innovative technology of the CubeStar equipped ShuttleŽ Vertical Lift Module (VLM) provides maximum storage density to the inch, often reducing floor space and capital equipment acquisition costs for organizations.
Using new C3000 controls the CubeStar system measures each tray profile to the nearest inch, determining its exact storage requirement, increasing storage density. The control system determines the best position in the machine based on the least amount of spaced used and the fastest retrieval position. This is idea for organizations with materials that may vary in height as the Shuttle VLM can be designed to accommodate both fixed and variable height objects. Items are automatically scanned to verify the height of the contents on each tray. Other VLMs do not make this dynamic allocation for height and must store the box in a fixed space where there is wasted overhead space.
As a result of the maximized storage density organizations are often able to reduce floor space and storage equipment requirements. The Shuttle VLM can save up to 85% floor space and provides 50 percent more storage capacity than Vertical Lift Modules without CubeStar technology. Savings for facilities could include the cost of purchasing the storage equipment plus the floor space and costs associated with floor space.
The CubeStar system can increase storage capacity with its ability to always measure each tray's profile to the nearest inch and determine its exact storage requirement. The control system determines the best position within the Shuttle VLM based on the lease amount of space used and the fastest retrieval position.
