Benefits and Applications of Hänel Storage Systems
Storage Systems USA provides convenient and innovative solutions and products for optimizing space for enhanced storage efficiency. We partner with pioneers in the shelving system industry, such as Hänel Storage Systems, to improve storage and retrieval. Automated vertical storage has many benefits, including:
- Enhanced security. Keeping items stored in an enclosed unit offers protection from theft, damage, and dust. Keycard or password protection technology is also available for added access control.
- Environmental protection. Hänel storage systems are constructed with eco-friendly materials and incorporate energy-saving mechanical systems.
- Flexibility and scalability. Hänel Multi-Space® systems are modular, so it’s easy to scale up for additional storage over time without renovations or rearranging.
- Improved ergonomics. Vertical AS/RS use a “goods-to-user” system of delivery. Instead of users climbing, reaching, or bending to retrieve items, loaded shelves are rotated into position and presented at a safe and ergonomic level. Users can easily remove or add items without risk of physical strain, injury, or damage to items.
- Increased productivity. Because items are delivered to a single location there are fewer errors in order picking, stocking, and organization. Workers also spend less time walking among bays of shelving to find needed items.
- Inventory accuracy. Easily incorporate software for tracking inventory levels and replenishment needs with over 99% accuracy.
- Space savings. By utilizing existing overhead space, vertical storage systems reduce the footprint needed for shelving and other storage equipment. Many Pennsylvania organizations may be able to add storage without expanding facilities or relocating.
