Horizontal Carousel: Lean Healthcare Storage System for Improving Supply Chain Logistics
Replenishing stock using manual picking from stationary shelving and racks is time-consuming and error-prone. A horizontal carousel will automate order picking and processing while enhancing the flow of materials throughout your hospital. The horizontal carousel brings stored medical supplies and products directly to the operator with just the simple push of a button or a computer interface, which eliminates walk and search time commonly associated with traditional bin shelving. In addition, the carousels increase worker productivity and make efficient use of your facility’s storage floor space. (Learn more about horizontal carousels).
