Safe and Secure Electric Powered File Cabinets by Kardex Remstar for Confidential Files Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi
Kardex Lektriever Carousels Protect Confidential and Restricted Files
College Admissions Offices, doctor’s offices, and government agencies are just a few examples of institutions that have confidential files. If your business stores confidential or restricted files, then you need to know about the Electric Powered File Cabinet by Kardex Remstar. The Electric Powered File Cabinet guarantees effective security for confidential documents, improved ergonomics for workers, and increased productivity and file retrieval rates.
How the Kardex Electric Powered File Cabinets Work to Provide Safe Ergonomic Access to Files
The Kardex Remstar Electric Powered File Cabinet (also known as a Lektriever, Elektriever, Mediastation, and Vertical Carousel) contains a series of vertically arranged revolving shelves that are controlled by an electronic push button keypad. With just the push of a button, the motorized shelves rotate like a carousel and deliver files to the operator at an ergonomically positioned waist high work counter. The motorized filing shelves can be designed to for top tab files, side tab files, boxes, and computer media or you can mix media within the same cabinet. The Lektriever Powered File Cabinet allows employees to access and retrieve files from a sitting or standing position without wasting time walking and searching. The ergonomic work counter eliminates reaching, bending, and twisting, which increases worker productivity. (view Kardex Elektriever photo gallery)
Kardex Electriver Powered File Cabinets Secures and Protects Storage for Restricted Files
With bi-parting access doors, the Kardex Electriever Motorized Carousels will lock up at the end of the day or whenever management feels the need to secure confidential information stored in the carousel. The system’s Safety Information Panel (SIP) lets the staff know when the file cabinet is ready to operate. The SIP communicates information with a familiar traffic light design to quickly convey the status of the system to the operator. Kardex Electriver’s can provide total file security with the bi-parting cabinet doors or partial security with individual locking door shelves within the cabinet.
Kardex Lektriever Upright File Cabinets Stand Vertically Using Overhead Air Space to Consolidate Floor Space
By using a Kardex Electric Powered File Cabinets, you can save over half your file storage space. For example, a college admissions office was using traditional lateral five drawer filing cabinets taking up 820 square feet and two entire walls. Once they installed just two Kardex Electric File Carousels, they were able to reduce their file storage area to only 414 square feet, which is over a 50% savings in floor space.

Horizontal Carousels Improve Storage Productivity in Manufacturing Parts Distribution Center
LEAN Manufacturing with Kardex Horizontal Carousels
Are you looking to improve your manufacturing parts storage? Horizontal Carousels use lean manufacturing initiatives, to cut out waste and maximize productivity. If you are looking for a way to do more with less, a Kardex Remstar Horizontal Carousel is a great option. Horizontal Carousels with FastPic inventory management software can increase productivity, save floor space, improve picking accuracy, and give you a quick return on investment.
Kardex Remstar Horizontal Carousels Increase Productivity and Picking Accuracy
With Horizontal Carousels equipped with FastPic inventory management technology, workers can batch pick orders instead of walking around searching for parts one at a time. Here is an example of how the horizontal carousel can increase productivity output: Several orders are sent to a batch workstation to be processed. The horizontal carousels automatically rotate for the first pick, and by using pick lights the operator is directed to the exact location of the first pick. The
operator picks the quantity indicated on the pick screen and distributes the parts into six order bins as directed by the FastPic software. As the operator is distributing the parts from the first pick, the other horizontal carousels begin rotating to the next pick, virtually eliminating operator dwell time. This process repeats until the six parts in the batch are filled. One company that recently invested in the Kardex Horizontal Carousel (view image gallery) was able to reduce their picking staff from 5 to 3 people, which equates to a 40% labor savings.
The Horizontal Carousel also allows for quick hot picks when they are needed. Simply push a button and the carousel rotates to deliver the part to the pick station. Once the hot pick part is delivered to the operator, they can easily transition back to the batch order process. The ability to deliver hot picks speeds up the time to retrieve parts without disrupting the batch picking process.
Kardex Remstar Horizontal Carousels Save Floor Space and Money
Depending on your exact situation you can save 40% of your manufacturing floor space with a Kardex Horizontal Carousel (View video). For example, a company had 7,000 square feet of warehouse space and 1,600 square feet of additional off-site storage space for storing parts. With the Horizontal Carousel, they were able to store all their parts onsite in 5,000 square feet, for a 42% space savings. With the space and labor savings, the Kardex Remstar Horizontal Carousel provides you a quick return on investment in as little as 18 months.

Tax Deduction Relief for KardexRemstar VLM and Spacesaver® ActivRac™ High Capacity Pallet Rack Storage
Southwest Solutions Group® wants to make sure you make the most of the IRS Section 179 Small Business Jobs Act Deduction this year. It’s still not too late to take advantage of completing the purchase of a Kardex Remstar Element VLM or Spacesaver® ActivRac™ High Capacity Pallet Rack Storage System.

To take advantage of these incentives you must act before the end of December 2011.
What is the Section 179 Tax Deduction?
When your business buys certain items of equipment, it typically gets to write them off a little at a time through depreciation; however, most business owners would really prefer to write off the entire equipment purchase price for the year they buy it. In fact, if a business could write off the entire amount, they might add more equipment this year instead of waiting. That’s the whole purpose behind Section 179, to motivate the American economy (and your business) to move in a positive direction.
What Does This Mean for You?
The Section 179 Deduction means that buying the equipment you need to keep your business organized and competitive is that much easier on your wallet. The KardexRemstar Element VLM takes your unproductive overhead air space and turns it into productive storage space all while saving you floor space and increasing picking and inventory accuracy. The Spacesaver ActivRac High Capacity Pallet Rack System can reduce your warehouse pallet storage area by 50%. Also, through the Section 179 Deduction you can get a quicker return on investment (ROI) from a Kardex Remstar Element VLM and Spacesaver ActivRac High Capacity Pallet Rack Storage System.
Southwest Solutions Group designs and plans Kardex Remstar Element VLMs and ActivRack Storage Systems for all types of businesses. Call us today at 1-800-803-1083 to see how the Kardex Remstar Element VLM or Spacesaver ActivRac can work for you.
