Spacesaver's New PowerLink(TM) Optimizes Efficiency of Powered Mobile Storage Systems



Fort Atkinson, Wis. - Spacesaver Corporation, the industry leader in high-density mobile storage, has announced groundbreaking technology that enables constant monitoring of mobile storage system performance. The new PowerLink(TM) (Internet Interface), which is available on Programmable Electric and Power Pro® powered systems, collects both diagnostic data and usage statistics, assuring optimum efficiency of system operation. PowerLink won a Citation of Excellence in the Innovations Awards announced at NeoCon 2003.

By detecting which aisle is used most frequently and when, PowerLink can help an end-user pinpoint a priority aisle to program "open" when the system is not in use. The diagnostic capabilities of the technology offer fast and convenient reprogramming, as the user's needs change. The Net-enabled device also transmits diagnostic data to Spacesaver's service technicians, assuring the ultimate in preventative maintenance. Potential problems can be detected - and often even fixed - before an end-user is inconvenienced.

Spacesaver mobile storage systems provide maximum storage density by eliminating the space required for multiple stationary aisles. This increases capacity by as much as 100 percent over conventional storage systems - or frees up half the space for other activities.

A multitude of features and options are available, as are power and programmable upgrades for existing Spacesaver systems. Options range from multiple choices of safety systems and aesthetic treatments to code-access TouchPad controls for enhanced security. All powered systems can be configured or programmed for ADA compliance. Programmable systems can also be linked to building security and fire systems to create a total protection package for users and media.
