PowerStage™ is a high speed flexible pallet delivery system designed to operate either independently or in conjunction with a PowerStor™ system. As the name implies, PowerStage™ is PAS's answer to automated load staging. Controlled by PowerWCS™, PowerStage™ stages outgoing shipments without error and at incredible speeds.

Features:

  • High Speed Carts – 420 fpm
  • Flexible in layout and configuration options
  • High reliability
  • Simple control system
  • High throughput performance
  • Adjustable throughput – just add more carts
  • Simple Cart design for ease of maintenance and operation
  • Power for SSC (Supply System Carts) through PowerTrack™ system
  • Simple controls via highly reliable continuous bar code tape system

Configuration Options:

  • Side by Side Track Layout – a track design on one level, close together or separated to meet a customer layout requirements. (Example shown in animation at top.)
  • Over – Under Layout – a track design for the most compact conditions where one track is located vertically over the other track at any distance to meet the layout requirements. Pallets are transfered to levels via Vertical Shift Devices (VSD)
  • Curved or Straight Track Layout – either side by side or over-under track layouts can accommodate curved or straight track layouts or a combination of both

Benefits:

  • Simple Configuration Changes:  Adding input – output points; moving interface connections; or even expanding the path can be done quickly so as not to impact your current business operations
  • Adding Capacity:  Throughput capacity can be increased by installing additional carts onto the track system.  You can grow the capacity as your business grows
  • Minimize Business Downtime:  If a cart malfunctions, it can be quickly and easily removed so as not to stop normal operations.  The cart would be repaired off-line and returned when fully operational. The impact the throughput capacity would be minimal.
