Kardex Remstar Megamat is a Vertical Carousel Module (VCM), using the paternoster principle to provide quick and precise access to stored goods. It uses the “goods to person” concept for goods with a high picking frequency and for similarly sized inventories.

Vertical Carousel Modules are built with a series of carriers attached in fixed locations to a chain drive. Movement is powered by a motor, which sends the carriers in a vertical loop around a track in both forward and reverse directions—similar to a ferris wheel. 

These automated storage and retrieval systems deliver stored items safely and quickly to an ergonomically positioned work counter at the operator’s command, eliminating walk and search time. This provides increased productivity and secured access while recovering previously occupied floor space.
