The KardexRemstar Shuttle® Vertical Lift Module (VLM) controlled access feature provides managers in organizations additional control and accountability over stored items while saving up to 85% of their floor space.
By using this feature, managers can control access to inventory on specific storage trays within the Shuttle VLM. Controlled access improves the security of the Shuttle VLM by "locking out" non-authorized personnel via logon identification. It is particularly useful in applications where inventory such as high value items, tooling, and consumable items are stored. This feature also increases accountability by allowing managers to know who accessed inventory and at what time. The modular design of the Shuttle VLM permits organizations to use this system in either point-of-use or central storage locations.
The Shuttle VLM's access control feature works in conjunction with FastPic Systems' FastPic IC inventory control software. The supervisor simply selects the storage device and the tray where restricted access applies, and loads a user list using the software. The software allows full customization of accessibility to the Shuttle VLM. It can be programmed to limit access by individual employee or department, and can be re-programmed quickly to meet changing security and inventory needs.
