When choosing a filing management solution for a facility one factor to consider while comparing systems is the amount of filing space that will be required as well as the floor space that will be saved. KardexRemstar now offers a Linear Filing Inches (LFI) Calculator that can determine the amount of linear filing inches required as well as how many Electric Lateral Files a particular operation needs, creating a method to find the best solution.
This new tool verifies the floor space necessary for a filing operation by using the number and size of the files being stored, expressed through LFI. LFI is a measurement of files or records on a shelf or in a drawer shown in inches that can establish space requirements for any organizations storage needs. By calculating the amount of files that are going to be managed and how many physical files or records currently can be stored in one inch of space organizations can be at ease when choosing a filing solution.
The KardexRemstar Lektriever Electric Lateral File is one solution to consider, it is a series of vertically arranged rotating shelves controlled by an electronic keypad to deliver files to the operator with a push of a button or a scan of a bar code. By maximizing vertical cube and true "floor to truss" storage capacity, the Lektriever ELF can save up to 70% of existing floor space.
The new Linear Filing Inches (LFI) Calculator is available on the KardexRemstar website, www.KardexRemstar.com/LFI.
