Question 2

How does the solution work in detail?

Accepted Answer

The Kardex Megamat is an automated vertical carousel consisting of carriers connected at fixed positions by a chain drive. Powered by a motor, these carriers rotate in both directions like a paternoster lift, always delivering the required goods to the access opening via the shortest and therefore fastest route. Optionally, the Kardex Megamat can be equipped with the LED Navigator display or pick-to-light solutions. These are located at the access opening and indicate to the operator where the desired item is located on the carrier, reducing search times and mispicks. In the Kardex Megamat, the carriers are arranged evenly at fixed positions. The shelf levels within the carrier can be adjusted up or down to compress the vertical space — however, this is not done automatically; adjustment is performed manually. For maximum efficiency and available storage capacity, it is essential to know the heights of your stored items when setting up the system, so that the levels can be positioned as close together as possible. This makes the Kardex Megamat the ideal choice for storing products with similar and consistent dimensions (typically a height of less than 20 cm). Each carrier can be further subdivided (both vertically and horizontally) to maximize storage density. In practice, they are frequently divided into two or three compartments using divider panels to separate items for space allocation and organization.

Question 3

What are the unique selling points of this solution?

Accepted Answer

The Kardex Megamat stands out through a combination of efficiency, space savings, and user-friendly design. It delivers high picking performance, enabling fast and precise retrieval of stored goods at a rate of up to 400 items per hour. This boosts productivity and ensures efficient processing even at high order volumes. Thanks to its vertical design, the Kardex Megamat significantly reduces the floor space required, saving up to 85% of floor area compared to conventional shelving systems — making it ideal for companies with limited space. The Kardex Megamat is perfectly suited for storing products with similar heights and characteristics. Targeted storage on the carriers optimizes the organization of storage locations and simplifies access to the required items. The intuitive user guidance of the Kardex Megamat ensures straightforward operation. The large, intuitively operable multi-touch control panel provides ergonomic ease of use. Combined with the Kardex Color Pick System, the operator receives clear guidance through the picking process, further enhancing picking performance. With these features, the Kardex Megamat offers a powerful and space-saving solution for companies looking to optimize their warehouse processes.

Question 4

What does your ideal customer look like?

Accepted Answer

The ideal customers for the Kardex Megamat are companies that depend on efficient storage and fast access times. Industries such as the automotive sector, electronics manufacturing (particularly for SMD reels), and logistics and manufacturing companies benefit especially from this solution. The Kardex Megamat is also used by many companies for spare parts management. In addition, the Kardex Megamat is particularly well suited for customers looking for a space-saving storage solution, as it makes optimal use of available space and enables storage on up to 85% less floor area compared to conventional shelving solutions. Companies with high demands on picking performance and precise inventory management value the fast access to stored goods as well as the ability to process and optimize orders efficiently. Furthermore, companies wishing to store items of similar dimensions benefit from the flexibility of this solution. The Kardex Megamat can be operated as a standalone unit or integrated into an existing system, enabling a high degree of adaptability and seamless automation. This makes it the ideal solution for customers who want to increase their efficiency, optimize work processes, and sustainably reduce operating costs.
