LIGHT THAT DEFIES THE ELEMENTS
Zumtobel’s new TECTON IP64/IP54 continuous-row lighting system is now
equipped for use in harsh industrial conditions. Resistant materials and a
sophisticated sealing concept protect the modular system from dust and water
splashes. Users can expect the classic installation convenience, plus the same
high level
of flexibility
with the
added IP
protection.
Every

connection
of the
TECTON
IP64/IP54
lighting
solution is
fully sealed,
creating comprehensive protection against areas with increased levels of dust
and water. The upper and lateral surfaces of the corrosion-resistant trunking are
entirely enclosed and smooth, so, not only providing protection against dust or
water, but making it easy to clean and ideal for abrasive and harsh environments,
such as multi-storey car parks, refrigerated logistics facilities, warehouses and
production plants.

RANDEX LAUNCHES VERTICAL STORAGE LIFT
ONLINE PLANNING SERVICE
Leading vertical storage liŽ company
Randex is claiming an industry first for
its rollout of a free online service that
organisations can use to generate CAD
drawings and specifications for their
automated handling using vertical storage.
“By sharing our vertical storage
technology freely with organisations and
the supply chain community in this way we are helping to democratise business
planning” says Randex Director James Roberts.
Manufacturing, logistics and other supply chain users of the ‘Compact
Configurator’ service tool enter key data including their building height, storage
and picking needs. The tool then generates a customised CAD drawing and
specification showing their vertical storage liŽ height and footprint, optimum
storage capacity and other information. An additional, warehouse optimisation
questionnaire can also be accessed online.
Compact Vertical Storage LiŽ s save up to 90% of floor space compared to
standard shelving and pallet racking, minimising the floor area while maximising
storage volume, and can manage loads of up to 100 metric tonnes. Their load
tray system enables warehouse operatives to complete up to four times more
picks than in a traditional warehouse, with greater accuracy and without the
need to search for goods, which are automatically presented to the picker.
The ‘Compact Twin’ also doubles any picking rate by utilising two load trays
simultaneously.
Compact Vertical Storage LiŽ s can be integrated with all leading WMS and
other business systems.
