 Where
massive storage of physical documents is needed,
the SILO is the solution.
A compact, high density filing solution, the SILO
is based upon two parallel racking structures that can be up to 10 metres high.
The racks of the SILO are loaded with bins or
drawers, adapted to fit the desired contents (files, folders, boxes, drawings, films,
books …). The SILO offers a linear capacity
that is quite substantial, to be measured often in kilometres. By making full use
of available height, this solution makes much more efficient use of floor areas
than traditional shelving systems.
 The
SILO is a robotic filing solution : a carriage
on board a crane runs down the central corridor and retrieves the requested drawer
and brings it to a workstation (there may be several). Picking thus is made much
more efficient, and the number of operators required to do a given number of picks
(or loads) a day is substantially lessened.
The SILO is a computerise solution: hence
errors, missing items, and other incidents are sharply curtailed, and traceability
of transactions can be made integral. This improves quality and productivity of
documentary services.
 The
SILO is is a securitised, envirionment-controled
solution: as imposed by a specification to be agreed upon with the user, it
is possible to include humidity and temperature control, and obviously also a system
to make storage fireproof.
