by Rebecca Walker — October 15, 2008—Remstar horizontal carousels and vertical storage and retrieval solutions can help facility companies build or redesign sustainable green facilities to help meet LEED sustainable standards, says the company.
Remstar horizontal and vertical carousels and Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) can help reduce the carbon footprint of facility organizations. Companies can construct smaller, more energy efficient buildings, reducing new construction by up to 15% in some cases, conserving natural resources and reducing maintenance costs. In existing buildings, overhead “floor to truss” space optimization can reclaim up to 85% of the space used by drawers and shelving and rack systems. These savings provide a lifetime of performance and environmental stewardship while saving building maintenance and energy costs, says the company.
Remstar horizontal carousel systems are designed to deliver stored items at an ergonomically optimized height to eliminate bending, stretching and reaching. Stored items are automatically delivered to the operator, eliminating walk and search time to improve productivity by up to 66%. More efficient operation reduces energy consumption, which helps reduce an organization’s overall carbon footprint.
