Carousels and Shuttles
Available exclusively at Johnston, Remstar offers carousels and shuttles to increase space utilization, and improve productivity through ergonomics in automated storage and retrieval solutions.

Shuttle Vertical Lift Module (VLM)
The Remstar Shuttle® XP Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is an enclosed system of vertically arranged trays, an extraction platform and a series of computerized controls that delivers items to an ergonomically positioned workstation. The VLM automatically locates and retrieves stored items with a push of a button or a scan of a bar code.

Several Shuttle VLMs can be placed side-by-side or back-to-back to form a compact and efficient automated storage and retrieval system. Remstar’s CubeStar® technology combines hardware and controls to give the Shuttle VLM up to 50 percent more storage capacity than Vertical Lift Modules without CubeStar technology.

Remstar Horizontal Carousels
Remstar 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
