Juma Al Majid to spotlight Kardex Shuttle at Material Handling Middle East

Kardex Remstar gets star ratings for star performance

Kardex currently has more than 2,500 automated storage installations in the country covering all the Emirates with full-fledged branches in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, RAK, Fujairah, Al Ain and Sharjah.

The immensely popular Kardex Shuttle Vertical Lift System has been designed to meet a broad range of storage and retrieval applications in manufacturing, distribution, retail and warehouse operations. The combination of optimal storage density, flexibility, efficient storage strategies, ergonomics and security makes the Shuttle XP from Kardex Remstar a unique storage solution.

Towering technology

The modular Shuttle XP Vertical Lift is an enclosed system on which trays are stored vertically on the front and rear of the unit. There is an extractor device located in the centre, which automatically delivers trays with the stored items to the access opening at the push of a button or the scan of a barcode.

The device is modular in its construction with the ability to change its height and number of access openings pre- and post-construction. Depending on the ceiling height, at least 85% of a conventional storage system’s occupied floor space can be recovered. The Shuttle XP automatically scans every tray with the use of Optiflex technology, finding the ideal storage location within the system in increments of 25mm. Items are stored in the least possible amount of space.

The versatile Kardex Remstar Shuttle XP offers even greater flexibility thanks to various options available pre-or post-installation. It can be resized, moved and altered to meet changing business, facility and application requirements. The system can be installed in the direct vicinity of a production line to increase productivity and reduce floor space requirements. It can connect several floors or be installed outside the building with pass-through access.

Kardex Remstar provides customers with dramatically increased levels of employee productivity, reduced floor space requirements and increased inventory visibility and management.

Wide-ranging applications

Besides the standard storage solutions, Kardex has the capability to provide customized storage solutions to any industry or office including Financial Institutions, Hospitality, Human Resource, Legal, Health care, Manufacturing, Logistics & Warehouses, Automobile, distribution, retail and other industry segments.

Juma Al Majid has the technical expertise to offer storage solutions that will increase staff productivity by 150% along with 70% saving in floor space. The combination of optimal storage density, flexibility, efficient storage strategies, ergonomics and security makes Juma Al Majid along with Kardex Remstar, a unique, effective storage and retrieval solution provider in UAE.
