In a press conference, Kardex Remstar's Chelsea Tarr, marketing communications coordinator, introduced two new technologies to improve order picking in the company's Megamat RS vertical carousel and Shuttle vertical lift module (VLM). For use with both VLMs and vertical carousels, the Logicontrol machine control combines hardware, software and an operator terminal into a simple-to-use touchscreen interface. The system controls the machine as well as enables inventory management with no PC workstation required. Targeted to smaller warehouses and standalone applications, Tarr noted that a single Logicontrol can operate up to three storage systems, and manage up to 1,000 different articles, 8,000 storage locations and seven bin sizes.
