New Technology in High Density Pallet Storage


I usually try to blog every Wednesday. I'm a day late this week but with good reason. I was in sunny California finalizing the details of a partnership with Power Automation Systems, a manufacturer that produces the next generation in high density pallet storage. PAS manufactures the PowerStor system. PowerStor is a close cousin to the fixed-aisle automated storage and retrieval systems with several important differences. PowerStor is denser storage, has considerably lower operating costs, utility costs as low as $.01/move, higher throughput than their cousin and did I mention for most layouts the cost is significantly less than the typical crane system!
PowerStor can be easily configured to fit in existing buildings as the aisle lengths and widths are not determined by a crane system. PowerStor was originally designed for the food industry so it operates in refrigerator and freezer facilities without issue. The whole system is made in the USA so if something should ever go wrong replacement parts are easily available, in addition, every pallet is easily accessible via a catwalk system which is impossible with the old fixed aisle systems. What is the downside to the PowerStor system? Well we've spent the last six months looking for it and we can't see one.
