September 14, 2001—MegaStar Systems introduced three space-saving storage-and-retrieval solutions at IFMA World Workplace 2001. The MediaStation Electric Lateral Filing system, MegaLift VLM (Vertical Lift Module), and the MegaStation Vertical Carousel are all designed to be ergonomically efficient in order to improve operator productivity. MegaStar also says they maximize space utilization and reduce operating costs.
MediaStation, designed to increase records storage-and-retrieval productivity, consists of a series of vertically arranged rotating carriers controlled by an electronic keypad. By taking advantage of unused overhead space, the MediaStation can hold the same number of files as traditional four-drawer filing cabinets or lateral files in 50-60% less space. Because office personnel don’t have to spend time manually retrieving files, productivity can improve significantly. Universal carrier design accommodates a variety of media. Rollout file drawer helps reduce the occurrence of repetitive stress injuries.
The MegaLift VLM is an enclosed system of vertically arranged trays, an ergonomically designed extraction platform, and computerized controls. Its “Flexi Space” feature allows random storage of products for optimum flexibility and the most efficient use of storage space. “Near and Far” technology keeps most frequently used items closest to the access opening. The modular design of the MegaLift VLM allows it to be configured to meet varying ceiling heights. Its small footprint and standalone design make the MegaLift VLM especially suitable for point-of-use storage.
The MegaStation Vertical Carousel is a system of vertically rotating shelves that move up and down along a tracking guide, delivering stored items to an operator at an ergonomically positioned extraction shelf. Because the Vertical Carousel eliminates the need for personnel to search traditional shelving systems, productivity can improve significantly. MegaStar claims the Vertical Carousels make ideal service and stockroom stations. Ergonomic design allows items to be delivered within easy reach, minimizing bending, reaching, and lifting that can reduce efficiency and lead to on-the-job injuries. MegaStation Vertical Carousels can be customized to meet special storage-and-retrieval requirements.
