How Do Moving Shelving Systems Work to Save Floor Space?

If you are wondering how moving shelving systems work, it’s fairly easy but highly effective in saving floor space. Shelving is placed on moving carriages with wheels that are attached to floor tracks. The shelving moves along the floor tracks to condense, which removes all but one or two access aisles. Because all of the shelving moves on tracks, you can open an access aisles wherever you want with just the push of a button! With Storage Shelves that Move, you will be able to save over 50% of your office floor space. (View More Photos of Moving Shelving Systems)

Life Without Anytime Package Pickup Parcel Delivery Lockers

You are meeting with an important client tomorrow so they can sign the paperwork to authorize a big deal. This is the make it or break it moment of your career. The big problem is that it’s 4 P.M. and you are in your office, but the paperwork is in the mail. Your only thought is when will the mail be delivered? You keep calling UPS and the mailroom to see if your package has arrived so you can pick it up, but unfortunately no one can give you a straight answer. You keep worrying that UPS has delivered it to the wrong office building or the mailroom attendant misplaced it.  At 6 P.M. the mail still hasn’t arrived and everyone is leaving the office, including the mail room attendant. What can you do, it’s not like there is anytime package pickup. You leave for the day hoping that your paperwork will be delivered to you tomorrow before the big meeting at 9 A.M.

Intelligent Parcel Delivery Lockers Allow for Anytime Package Pickup

Wouldn’t it be nice to know exactly when your important paperwork arrives and have it delivered directly to you and only you? Package tracking services only go so far by giving you an estimated delivery time. Sometimes that estimate is wrong and you can’t be there to receive your package. Even though you can’t be there, Intelligent Parcel Delivery Lockers can be. Intelligent Parcel Delivery Lockers streamline the delivery of parcel packages and overnight mail to the recipient using high tech automated lockers and allow for anytime package pickup.

How the Intelligent Parcel Delivery Lockers Work

The Intelligent Parcel Delivery Lockers are a basically a bank of lockers arranged in columns with different size lockers in each column. In the middle of the bank of lockers, there is a computerized touch screen. (View Intelligent Parcel Delivery Lockers Photo Gallery) When the mail agent comes to drop off your package, they log into the system using the touch screen and the system designates a locker for your package. The mail agent places your package in the locker and the computer system automatically sends you a text or email to notify you that your package has arrived. The text or email includes a onetime unique code that will allow you to access the locker with your package. Now you can retrieve your package anytime you want, and you no longer have to worry about time restrictions, your package being delivered to the wrong office building, or the mailroom attendant misplacing it.

One of the most frustrating things about planning a new healthcare facility is arranging the equipment. Attainia equipment planning software has eased this burden over the past several years, but there’s still been one nagging issue: storage systems. After all of the equipment is organized in Attainia for a new facility, the planner still has to go out and separately match up the storage systems they needed for the healthcare facility.  A new partnership between Spacesaver® and Attainia is about to make that problem a thing of the past. The partnership has made a number of Spacesaver products including – high density mobile filing and storage shelving, CoreSTOR patient room supply cabinets, FrameWRX pharmaceutical supply shelving,  wire supply shelving, personnel lockers and more (view gallery of medical storage equipement) – available in Attainia. This means that storage systems needs are met earlier in the planning and budgeting process and that healthcare planners are given the opportunity to make sure they have the right storage solution in place from day one.

Healthcare Equipment Planning and Design Integration

In some ways, this is the next logical step in the overall process of streamlining healthcare planning. Spacesaver solutions are already in REVIT 3D modeling software, the leading healthcare architect and design solution.  Architects and designers already had the ability to drop Spacesaver storage and filing solutions into their process, and this partnership gives that same ease of use to planners. Now, the planning and design materials you need starting at planning can move all the way through the build process in a seamless, end-to-end manner.

How the Attainia Equipment Planning Software Works

Here’s an example of how this partnership makes the healthcare planner’s life easier. Let’s suppose your company is building a new hospital.  Your materials management department tells the equipment planners they want some specific CoreSTOR or FrameWRX storage equipment solutions. Using their REVIT building models and Attainia software, they drop the design files into the rooms where you need them. The Attainia component gives them all of the information they need – dimensions, size, weight, price, and even REVIT configured files. You have your estimate, and the planner has everything they need to move forward.

Real Benefits to Healthcare Equipment Planners

Ultimately, this partnership gives the healthcare planning industry several specific benefits, including:

• Fewer budget surprises. Having pricing data and specifications early in the process means fewer budget revisions as the project moves forward.
•  Fewer revisions. Fewer revisions translate into cost savings, and not having to scramble to implement storage systems as an afterthought.
•  Increased productivity.  Attainia’s planning solution, coupled with access to Spacesaver product line data, means healthcare planners spend less time flipping back and forth to find what they need.
