At a time when the price of land is skyrocketing, Rabatex Industries is giving India a revolutionary product for space constraints. Rabatex is primarily a textile industry that is soon to introduce their brand-new vertical storage system.
Rabatex Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is an automated electronic machine with Human Machine Interface (HMI), height sensors, space management and weight sensors. The company will sell it to industries that need to store large quantities of products in small spaces in order to overcome challenges of quick access of components and multiplying 5 to 30 times space by vertical storage.
The VLM is a vertical storage machine segregated into trays. Each tray has a capacity of storing goods worth 200 kg to 700 kg. Thus, 100 trays can offer storage space for goods weighing 50,000 kg.
The largest machine is 24 metres tall, while the shortest is 2 metres tall – the larger the product, the lower the price. Since computerised facilities are equal for all, smaller machines will be comparatively costly against the taller ones.
The product is shared in levels and people who can access the machine can keep a tab on the usage. The process helps keep track of the amount of stock available in the machine. Moreover, the internal software facilitates Management Information System (MIS). Thus, if someone mistakenly puts excess quantity on a certain tray, they will get immediate intimation from the device. There is a Minimum and Maximum quantity alert by MIS to concerned people to manage the inventory effectively.
The machine requires separate entry for everyone, and multiple people can log in, to access the device. This helps people divide the work into levels. For example, at Level 1, there can be five people, in Level 2 there can be ten people. Anyone can send messages through the machine to notify the group of people concerned. It reduces manual labour and keeps a record of every activity.
USPs of the Rabatex VLM
Indian industries desperately needed a product that can reduce space with the benefits of automation. The USP of Rabatex is not only providing a revolutionary product but also selling it at an affordable rate.
Developing Rabatex VLM
Rabatex VLM product is 100% Indianised in terms of hardware as it is an output of their in-house production. Says Mr Haresh Panchal, Managing Director, Rabatex: “This product is exclusively made in India, looking into the Indian market requirement, as well as we are also working to integrate my software with all possible ERP software.”
If a client uses Microsoft MAB or SAP, they just have to inform Rabatex about the CSP files they need. After that, the company will easily deliver the requirement from their device to the client’s device. The company focuses on 3C based solutions rather than HMI. “From my Microsoft SQL I can send any amount of data in whichever format you need or an end-user needs. So, integration has been made easy,” adds Mr Panchal.
A VLM machine can store data for 25 years, so the manufacturers target machine usage beyond 25 years. The company has run a test load on two devices with goods dating back 20 years. By November, they plan to store goods dating back to 25 years. Later, the company will go through full-fledged trials to understand more about the storage capacities and functionality.
