Oil & Gas Companies Reduce Floor Space with Dynamic Storage



Kardex Remstar displayed a Shuttle Vertical Lift Module (VLM) at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2015. Kardex Remstar has extended the weight capacity of the Shuttle VLM product for oil and gas operations looking to reduce floor space, increase productivity and increase profits.

The Shuttle XP 1000 can be equipped with a factory-fitted crane. The crane is electrically operated and mounted on the Shuttle XP load profiles. The crane, dedicated to the storage and retrieval of items from within the unit, is designed so operations can reduce costs and increase productivity.

The Shuttle VLM eliminates wasted space commonly found in traditional shelving and rack systems to recover up to 85% floor space. This allows organizations to store more product in less floor space, stated the company.

"Kardex Remstar technology is designed to bring the parts to the worker, increasing worker efficiency and picking productivity. Eliminating wasted walk and search time commonly associated with manual picking and distribution in oil and gas operations, dynamic storage systems can increase productivity and reduce labor requirements. Facilities are choosing to maintain current labor levels when implementing automated storage to increase picking productivity," said a company spokesperson.

Kardex Remstar products can be integrated with inventory management software. Equipped with pick-to-light technology, a transaction information center (TIC) is mounted at the access opening to direct the operator to the exact location to pick from, displaying the part number and quantity to pick for increased accuracy.
