Original Press Release:

Flexispace Feature Automatically Optimizes MegaLift Efficiency For Industrial Storage & Retrieval Applications

The optional FlexiSpace feature of the MegaLift Vertical Lift Module (VLM) from MegaStar Systems automatically stores items of varying heights for optimum flexibility and the most efficient use of storage space in industrial applications.

The MegaLift VLM is an enclosed system of vertically arranged trays, an ergonomically designed extraction platform, and computerized controls.

The FlexiSpace feature consists of a height sensor photo array that automatically tracks the height of the items stored in each tray in the unit. As each tray's height requirement changes, FlexiSpace finds the best positioning for each tray to maximize storage space. The result is more efficient use of the available storage cube within the unit.

By utilizing the FlexiSpace system, operators can focus on being productive, while providing maximum security and protection to the material stored. Constant tray scanning also assures items are not accidentally damaged during the storage process due to fixed space allocation, that is used on many other systems.

This flexibility also makes it an ideal system for organizations that have changing product/material profiles. Since a VLM purchase is for long term usage, it is important to have a system which can change dynamically.

MegaStar Systems, a company of the Kardex AG Remstar International (KRI) Group of Zurich, Switzerland, is a leading provider of automated storage and retrieval systems.
