First user for Randex VR
VERTICAL STORAGE lift company Randex has won the first user for its Randex VR virtual reality system, which uses digital models to simulate vertical storage space and performance.
Global welding and cutting company WB Alloys has used Randex VR to create a virtual twin of its new warehouse, populating it with virtual racking, office space and a Randex Compact Twin vertical storage system, located in the company’s 5,000 SKU storage area. Randex VR has enabled WB Alloys to plan for best machine fit and optimum picking speeds.
Following go-live Randex Compact Twin is now providing higher storage capacity with a smaller footprint and faster component retrieval from WB Alloys’ pick face – speeding the picking process and allowing inventory to be fine-tuned using Compact Store software.
Randex director James Roberts says: “Planning with VR- and BIM-based digital models saves time and money by testing the space and performance of warehouse configurations before installation. This is especially true of vertical storage, whose proven space-saving and performance-boosting benefits can then be fully realised.”
