KardexRemstar Horizontal Carousels consist of an oval track with rotating bins containing shelves that deliver items to the operator. This allows an operator to pick from one active carousel while the others are pre-positioning to be picked the moment the operator is ready.

Every carousel uses one of the many integrated QuickPick™ pick-to-light technologies to indicate the active carousel, shelf level and quantity of items to pick, making batch picking simple, fast and easy.

These automated storage and retrieval systems can provide:

• Increased throughput up to 600%
• Reduced floor space requirements up to 60%
• Reduced labor up to 2/3
• Move and change workstation designs easily
• Extended order cut-off times
• Fast ROI (Return On Investment)

Pick-to-Light technology assists operators with four basic functions:

• Picking a specific or active item
• Putting an item in an active order or location
• Communicating a message such as a quantity, description, etc
• Completing the task and moving to the next task

KardexRemstar has created an entire family of products designed to direct a picker to an exact location quickly and accurately.
