Electronic mobile shelving
Electronic mobile shelving uses small motors hidden in the base to move the unit at the touch of a button. Electronic mobile shelving has a number of significant benefits over its mechanical cousin. One-touch buttons allow access for all, including those with limited mobility. Additional safety and security features mean that electronic shelving is the system of choice in public access areas, such as university and public libraries. High-end versions connect into archiving databases, and can utilise RFID to facilitate the easy retrieval of archived items via auto open and close functions.
New developments for mobile storage systems
Latest trends in office working, including the reduction in paper use due to digitisation, have helped broaden the use of mobile storage systems in workplaces. Mobile storage systems suitable for flexible work spaces, such as office unit, are designed to store a wide range of material in a compact area. Systems include space for fridges, cloakroom storage, flat screen displays and lockers for personal possessions.
