Vertical Storage Carousel System Benefits
Better Space Utilization
10x better space efficiency. By activating vertical heights, we utilize every inch of floor space available in your warehouse or shop floor and organize material in compact areas which is usually spread over a large area.
Improved traceability

Ergonomic Operations
Bending, stretching, using ladders, and lifting material from odd spaces often lead to accessive fatigue, bruises or injuries. Instamat eliminates all these issues. Material is presented to the operator at a convenient height at an ergonomically located access point.
Material Access Authentication
Conventional material storage follows open to all storage and retrieval methods. With Instamat, the access port is authenticated to the concerned person allowing businesses to analyze all the operation reports, and access reports, stocking and removing human dependency on the process.
Faster Availability

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Vertical Storage Carousel System?
A Vertical Storage Carousel is a high-density, automated storage and retrieval system. It consists of a series of shelves or bins that rotate vertically within a tall, enclosed framework, bringing requested items directly to an ergonomic “pick window” for an operator.
What are the main benefits of using a Vertical Storage Carousel?
- Saves Massive Floor Space: By using vertical air space, it can reduce storage footprint by up to 75% compared to shelving.
- Increases Productivity: Items come to the operator, eliminating walking and searching time.
- Improves Accuracy: The integrated software tells the operator exactly what and how much to pick, drastically reducing errors.
- Enhances Security: The enclosed structure locks, protecting valuable, sensitive, or controlled inventory.
What kinds of items can be stored in a Vertical Carousel?
VSCs are incredibly versatile and can store a wide range of small to medium-sized parts, including:
- Tool Room: Molds, dies, cutting tools.
- Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO): Spare parts, electrical components, fittings.
- Healthcare & Pharmacy: Medical supplies, surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals.
- Office & Archives: Files, records, confidential documents.
- Retail & E-commerce: High-value electronics, small appliances, fast-moving SKUs.
How does it save so much space?
Traditional shelving requires aisles for access. A Vertical Carousel eliminates almost all aisles because the system’s rotating shelves bring the entire inventory to one fixed, narrow access point.
Is it difficult to integrate with our existing inventory software?
Our modern Vertical Carousels can be integrated with ilink software existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software through standard interfaces. They also come with their own powerful, built-in inventory management software that can often operate as a standalone solution.
What safety features are included?
Safety is a top priority. Standard features include:
Safety Light Curtains: Stops rotation if someone reaches into the pick window.
Emergency Stop Buttons: Located at the access station.
Keyed Access: To restrict system use to authorized personnel.
Mechanical Safeguards: To prevent shelves from moving unexpectedly.
What kind of maintenance does it require?
Vertical Carousels are known for their reliability and require minimal maintenance. Basic maintenance typically involves periodic lubrication and inspections of mechanical components, similar to an elevator. The manufacturer will provide a recommended maintenance schedule.
Is the system noisy?
No, they are generally very quiet during operation. The noise level is often comparable to that of a standard photocopier, making them suitable for office, laboratory, and cleanroom environments.
