Horizontal Carousel Systems

Horizontal carousel storage systems are ideal for high-speed automated picking, parts delivery and sortation applications. Carousels position heavy duty bins to an operator automatically, saving space, reducing labor cost, speeding throughput, and improving accuracy and inventory control.

Outsource Equipment can provide you with a new or used horizontal carousel that meets your needs and fits into your budget. In fact, companies often recover their investment in less than one year through improved productivity, reduced floor space, reduced error rates, reduced shrinkage, and greater up time.

Horizontal carousel storage systems work extremely well in many picking scenarios, especially when used in conjunction with a pick-to-light or other picking enhancements. What’s more, these machines are often set up with multiple carousels forming one pod, further reducing operator down time. When combined with inventory-management software, horizontal carousels facilitate high-efficiency batch picking.

horizontalcarouselAdditionally, horizontal carousel storage systems are not as height-limited as one might think; the carousels can be set up to provide access on a second (mezzanine) level, essentially doubling the height – and therefore, storage – capacity. And while the typical horizontal carousel is not enclosed, some applications have security doors, password protection and transaction tracking (via inventory-management software) to secure product storage.

Benefits of Horizontal Carousel Systems Include:

  • High Throughput – Picking rates up to 500 lines per operator, per hour.
  • Increased Accuracy – Paperless Lightree and Sortbar picking method virtually eliminates picking errors.
  • Reduced Man Hours – Items are brought to the operator eliminating walk and search time. The software automatically queues orders, batches picks and positions the carousels for picking, reducing idle and dwell time.
  • Cube Utilization – Companies have been able to reclaim up to 75% of floor space when implementing a horizontal carousel system. Shelves are easily adjustable. Carousels may be tiered with or without mezzanines.
  • Payback (ROI) – Companies often recover their investment in less than one year through improved productivity, reduced floor space, reduced error rates, reduced shrinkage, and greater up time.
