Solution
In order to save space, the 150 m2 3-storey mezzanine floor was replaced with 2 automated KARDEX Shuttle XP 500 vertical cabinets at the Gagarin plant in 2016.
This unique system solves the problem of storing small pieces of goods, creating high-density storage in a small space.
Having a small base area, only 8 m2, the cabinet allows you to use the entire height of the room (the height of the cabinet in this case was 7 m).
It should be noted that thanks to its modular design, the Shuttle XP can be adapted to the required height, both before and after installation; the number of distribution windows can also be changed.
Depending on the room height, you can save up to 85% of the installation area compared to conventional storage systems.
