| INNOVATIVE STORAGE SYSTEMS FROM NIKHIL EQUIPMENTS. |
|
Organisations world over are finding ways to reduce inventory. Just-in-time is the most desired way to operate. However, it is necessary to maintain a certain minimum inventory to off set the fluctuating demand. This is the trade-off.
Nikhil Equipments Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune, India based manufacturer of storage systems that find applications in industry, warehousing and any conceivable end use. Nikhil prides itself in providing turnkey solutions to your ?storage? problems at the most competitive prices. A few systems are described. |
| 1. COMPACTOR STORAGE SYSTEM |
|
| This is a sliding rack arrangement. It is a safe, secured, dust and fire retardant storage system and is meant for storage of components, hardware, boxes, packing materials, files, books, records, etc. It saves space due to the reduction of aisle space to only one. The system is custom built and tailor-made to suit the materials to be stored in the available space. There is no standard configuration since no two storage requirements or spaces are identical. In case there is no height restriction, multi-tier systems can be installed with adequately designed steel mezzanine structure. These are normally offered as manually operated units but can also be offered in powered version for heavier loads. Stacker / forklift loading and retrieving is possible. Existing conventional racking can be converted into this system, thus reducing the cost. |
| 2. VERTICAL CAROUSEL STORAGE SYSTEM |
|
| This is a state of the art, modern, innovative, automated storage and retrieval system for unit loads either loose or in bins, crates and even on pallets. The biggest advantage is utilisation of full available height, which is otherwise wasted. This is PLC / computer controlled storage system wherein number of carriers are suspended on a pair of endless chain loops. The most modern controls enable the operator to call for a part/location by its code number only thus avoiding cumbersome recall of the location address. The desired part / location is presented in front of the operator at a convenient height with existing quantity indication which can be updated easily after every transaction. And all this in the stand-alone operation without any need of external PCs, which are prone to failures in dusty, noisy, rugged atmosphere, encountered in industrial stores. Additional interfacing facility enables connections to the printer or PC or mainframe computers. Packaged solutions include total inventory control management software development. Apart from standard one window configuration, can offer additional windows at the back or at the top to enable multi level operations. |
| 3. MEZZANINES AND CAGE LIFTS |
|
| Scarcity and non-availability of space particularly for storage is compelling planners to imaginatively use vertical heights, which are otherwise wasted. RCC mezzanines are messy during construction and create future problems as flexibility is compromised and removal is costly. Steel fabricated mezzanines offer good and reliable solution. It must be cautioned that this is a serious proposition and all due care must be taken to design as per applicable national standards. Besides the requirements such as loading and operating patterns, details of activities below and above mezzanine, properly designed and safe staircases, railing, toe guard etc must be complied with. Nikhil provides an efficient and economical system. They also offer a complete system to move materials from ground to upper floors and back with material cage lifts. |
| 4. MODULAR ADJUSTABLE PALLET / MATERIAL RACK SYSTE |
|
| Moving volumes of material in shortest time, when and where desired, mechanically is the order of the day. Heavier weights necessitate palletising the loads. Shortage of storage space compels use of vertical heights. That is where Histor system is useful. Not mere components but the total integrated systems are offered. Be it of any size, weight, type etc. Nikhil have an economical and efficient solution. Not just racks but a complete package including diesel / battery powered stackers, forklifts, floor or cabin controlled stacker cranes as desired. This is very important as the efficient and economical layout depends upon the handling equipment to be deployed. |
