Statfield Vertical Carousel: The High-Density Automated Storage Solution

In fast-paced industrial growth, healthcare and distribution environments, floor space is prime assets and keeping operational speed ROI is critical. The challenge lies in storing more items, retrieving them faster and managing inventory with flawless accuracy all within a shrinking footprint. This is where the Statfield Vertical Carousel, exemplified by our advanced Instamat series, delivers a transformative solution.

Far more than just shelving, a Vertical Storage Carousel is a high-density Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) that brings the inventory to the operator. By rotating vertically within a compact column, it eliminates wasted time walking, searching, and reaching. For businesses across Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and all over India looking to optimize their operations, the Statfield Vertical Carousel is the engineered answer to space constraints and inefficiency.

What is a Statfield Vertical Carousel?

Imagine a ferris wheel for your inventory. The Statfield Vertical Storage Carousel consists of a series of carriers (bins, trays, or shelves) mounted on a vertical rotating frame. Through a simple interface, an operator requests an item. The system automatically rotates to bring the required carrier to an ergonomically positioned access window, presenting items at waist height.

This is the core principle of our Instamat system, a fully automated, software-driven storage unit that maximizes your facility’s cubic volume, turning vertical air space into secure, accessible storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Typically, 60-80% compared to static shelving. By utilizing full ceiling height (up to 10+ meters), a single Vertical Carousel footprint can store the equivalent of multiple aisles of shelving.
Is it difficult to integrate with our existing inventory software (ERP/WMS)?
Not at all. Statfield Vertical Carousels like the Instamat are designed for integration. They can communicate via standard protocols, allowing for seamless data exchange. Your WMS can send pick lists directly to the carousel controller.
What if we have items of very different sizes?
The system is highly customizable. Carrier dividers, adjustable shelves and a mix of bin sizes on different levels allow you to store small screws alongside larger manuals or kits within the same unit.
How reliable is the system? What about maintenance?
Built with industrial-grade components, Statfield carousels are designed for 24/7 reliability. They require minimal preventative maintenance, similar to that of other industrial machinery, and are supported by a dedicated service network.
Can multiple people access the system at once?
A single carousel has one access point. For higher throughput, multiple carousels can be grouped into a “workstation” served by one operator, or systems with dual access openings (front/back or on different floors) can be configured.
