Detailed information about CARGO Automated Storage Systems

CARGO products are individually tailored to customer requirements, offering comprehensive storage benefits for industrial, commercial and clerical sectors.

CARGO automated systems use optimum storage and space saving technology to provide flexible, customised solutions with exceptional benefits. Overhead space is utilised to store the same volume of goods in as little as 20% of the floor space previously used. CARGO products are available in modular form, in heights ranging from 2.4 to 20 metres and widths of 2.9 to 4.4 metres, giving extremely high volume storage space in minimal footprint.

CARGO systems quickly present items picked direct to the operator on the "goods to man" principle. This system improves productivity, increases picking speeds and inturn reduces costs. Picking errors are also greatly reduced and stock management efficiency is significantly improved with continuous inventory checking.

The login system comprises of highly secure biometric technology, which uses individual unique characteristics from fingerprints that cannot be transferred or copied. This fingerprint technology eliminates reliance of PIN-codes, not to mention reducing the chances of fraud and theft, which occurs when carrying or using cards. Multiple security levels within CARGO allows varying degrees of operator functionality, ranging from ‘admin’, with full functionality, to ‘picker’, which allows only picking and replenishment functions.

Valuable goods and sensitive business information, whatever is required to be stored, are 100% safe with high security closing doors at the picking face. Further security can be added within the controller with PIN codes protecting goods from unauthorised access.

Following installation, a specialist CARGO commissioning engineer will train operators in the use of machinery and on-going service is offered in the form of a 24-hour emergency call out scheme for the UK.

Full sales service support programmes are offered at the end of the warranty period and maintenance contracts are available to suit customer needs. CARGO products can also be leased or purchased, depending on requirements.
