Carousel technology gets a boost

Remstar showed off its line of vertical and horizontal carousels for various markets at ProMat 2009, including a new Megastation vertical carousel specifically designed for the health care industry. The new carousel consists of shelves that rotate up and down via the shortest path, automatically delivering items to an ergonomically positioned pick window.

Remstar also announced that its parent company, Kardex AG, has purchased Kardex Systems Inc. "[The acquisition] will enable Kardex to substantially expand its U.S. distribution company Remstar Inc," said Kardex Remstar International Group Executive and CEO Jos De Vuyst.
