Hänel Rotomat available from Headland Storage
Hänel have not forgotten their roots, the Hänel office carousel unit was their first ever sold in 1957. Now known round the world as the Hänel Rotomat, the model has undergone a few facelifts, employing new state-of-the-art technology and design, but the principal is still the same-automation, optimisation and safety.
Using the tried and tested ferris-wheel design, the Hänel Rotomat utilises multi-directional carousel technology. Carrier containers are attached to an electronically controlled rotating mechanism, bringing the goods direct to the operator, reducing personnel costs and cycle times.
Again, the feature list of Hänel Rotomat is extensive:
Like the Lean-Lift, storage capacity can be improved by up to 90%, utilising available height space.
Safety is covered. No more need for forklifts, ladders, climbing and other dangerous accidents waiting to happen. Hänel Rotomat come fitted with light barriers at all retrieval points, instantly suspending the unit when interrupted.
Security and inventory management- Hänel Rotomat has programmable authorisation levels, locking out unauthorised users and even allowing selection of which containers individuals can have access to. Access can be managed by either a PIN or security card and logged for reference. Hänel Rotomat is the perfect solution for dangerous or valuable goods, such as armoury, expensive tooling, pharmaceutical and medical supplies to name a few.
Materials handling has never been easier, practically removing all scope for error. The picking process can be entirely automated, with the unit bringing the correct container to the user and highlighting the exact location of the part. The result is a reduction in processing time and error. Hänel Rotomat can also manage and interface with inventory control systems, highlighting optimum stock levels and shortages.
A solution for almost any situation. The highly customisable unit can be used for office or production, practically anything can be stored and managed like documents, perishables (yes, they can even have temperature control), production parts, literally anything.
Storage Systems comments that simply put, these systems and this new technology is now available in Australia. The benefits to users are real and tangible. Storage Systems have seen examples of up to 90% more storage capacity after installation, and with almost the entire materials handling process automated, businesses no longer have to concern themselves with the inherent time, cost and safety issues that are associated with traditional materials handling. The surprise is the variety of applications that Hänel Rotomat can be used in. Some customers want them to increase available floor space, others to streamline materials handling and production, and yet others to improve security. The uses are really limitless.
The comments highlight the systems important feature, flexibility. Hänel testify that no two Hänel’s are the same, because every problem requires a unique solution. Hänel Rotomat are custom built to fit individual requirements, whether it is customisations in size, colour, containers, weight capacity, security systems, temperature control, retrieval points. The opportunities are endless.
