Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems
PCT-ASRS™/ SCIS™
Do you need more floor space in your toolcrib ? Got no where to go but up? Do you have too many items or maybe too large for automated lockers and vending machines, but you still want them accessible from the shop floor ?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to consider a carousel or vertical lift storage system.
Both of these devices are proven and mature methods of storing and retrieving items automatically. If you are not familiar with these devices then read the simple analogies below.
PCT-ASRS can be added to your PC-TOOLCRIB system to access items stored in a carousel or vertical lift when performing an issue, return or restock.
SCIS is standalone product designed for efficient space and inventory management of vertical lifts units. It can be used alone for complete control of up to 99 vertical lifts.

Analogies
 |
A carousel is like an enclosed small ferris wheel. Shelves replace the familiar ferris wheel ride seat buckets. Each shelf can hold thousands of items and you can have as little as 8 shelves. Units can range in height from 6 feet to 30 feet making excellent use of floor space with a small footprint. |

A vertical lift unit is similar to an elevator. Drawers or trays are stacked in positions vertically. The elevator goes to a vertical position, pulls a drawer from its resting braces, and delivers it to a waist-level work platform. Although weight varies with manufacturer you can expect to place a maximum of 500+ pounds per drawer/tray. |
