KITCHENER, Ontario—Digital movie projector manufacturer Christie Digital Systems USA Inc likes to keep enough inventory on hand so that when a customer orders a customized projector, Christie can pull out a nearly assembled unit, add the finishing touches and ship it out of its Kitchener, Ontario-based manufacturing plant that same day.
The trouble is keeping that many units in stock took up a lot of room: over 92sqm (1,000sqf)—room which they company just didn’t have—so it looked for an automated storage solution and found an answer with Kardex Remstar’s Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs).
