Indian manufacturing and logistics, every square foot of floor space and every minute of labor counts. Businesses across the country are grappling with significant challenges: soaring real estate costs, a shortage of skilled labor and the relentless pressure to improve efficiency. Traditional warehousing methods, with their sprawling shelves and manual processes are no longer sustainable.
But what if you could reclaim your floor space, slash your labor costs and boost accuracy all at once? The solution is optimizing your vertical space. A Vertical Storage Carousel is more than just a piece of equipment, it’s a strategic investment that directly tackles these challenges, delivering a powerful return on investment. As a leading manufacturer in material handling solutions in India, Statfield understands these unique pressures. Here’s how our Instamat Vertical Carousel can be your best cost-saving solution.
The Space-Saving Solution: save up to Up to 75% of Your Floor Space
The most immediate and dramatic benefit of a vertical carousel is its incredible space efficiency. By utilizing vertical height the often-forgotten “air space” in your facility these systems consolidate the footprint of traditional shelving into a single, compact unit.
Instead of expanding your warehouse, you can expand your capacity. This principle of high-density storage can recover up to 75% of the floor space previously occupied by shelving.
Consider this: in one example, vertical carousels provided the same storage capacity as several rows of shelving while saving over 1,400 square feet of valuable floor space. For businesses in India, where industrial land is limited and expensive, this benefit alone translates into massive cost avoidance, postponing or eliminating the need for costly expansions or relocations.
Slashing Labor Costs with "Goods-to-Person" Automation
A significant challenge for the Indian warehousing industry is the scarcity of a skilled workforce and the rising costs associated with labor. Vertical carousels address this head-on by automating the most time-consuming part of the job: picking.
The system operates on a “goods-to-person” principle. Instead of workers walking and searching through long aisles, the carousel rotates and delivers the required items directly to the operator at an ergonomic height. This simple change has profound effects:
- Reduced Labor Requirements: Automated systems can cut picking labor needs by up to 60%, allowing you to reallocate valuable team members to higher-value tasks
- Increased Productivity: With travel time virtually eliminated, picking speeds increase effectively. Some operations have seen picking times cut by as much as 75%
- Improved Safety and Ergonomics: By delivering items at an optimal height, carousels eliminate the need for bending, stretching, and climbing ladders, which significantly reduces the risk of workplace injuries and the associated costs from missed work time and insurance claims
Achieving Near-Perfect Inventory Control and Security
Inaccurate inventory leads to costly errors, including mis-picks, stockouts, and overstocking. Vertical carousels, especially when integrated with warehouse management software, bring a new level of precision to inventory control.
Integrated software, like that offered with Statfield’s Instamat, can sync directly with your ERP system, providing real-time inventory data. Combined with features like pick-to-light technology which uses a light bar to pinpoint the exact item and quantity to be picked picking accuracy can soar to over 99%.
Furthermore, security is inherently enhanced. The enclosed nature of the carousel protects valuable parts and components from dust, damage and unauthorized access. For enhanced control, these systems can include security features like key locks or require user authentication for access, ensuring that your inventory is not only accurate but also secure.
