A continuously growing variety of tools and parts, ever-changing market requirements, and competitive pressure require more flexible processes. Mechanical and metal engineering need solutions that are exactly matched to work processes to ensure flexibility and profitability.
Maximise storage space
Systems from Kardex Remstar offer high density storage solutions and can reduce required floor space by up to 85%, providing ample space for your warehouse stock.
Buffering for production
Our systems enable dense buffering of components and parts during each stage of your production process. Material can be buffered at any time for as long as needed to ensure you run your facility at maximum performance.
Storage of different materials
The modular construction of our dynamic retrieval systems can easily be adapted to changing company requirements. A reconfiguration of trays and carriers to maximise material storage density is possible at any time.
Logistics is the key to success
Better performance, even better service, and supreme quality – at lower costs?
Storing, buffering, and supplying material, parts, and tools: through the perfect interplay of all in-house and inbound logistics processes you can untap significant benefits with Kardex Remstar. We can offer you complete solutions and consultation, which will result not only in saving space in storage and production but, at the same time, will also increase process safety and transparency. Our systems guarantee maximum availability with minimum storage and transport costs.
Smooth material flow throughout assembly
Pre-Assembly Kitting is a solution based on the use of the Megamat RS Vertical Carousel, specifically designed for plant and equipment manufacturers and their challenges. Many companies active in the field of mechanical and metal engineering (e.g. electro mechanic plant
engineering) invested a lot of effort to optimise their assembly: Step by step optimisation of processes (Kaizen) and state-of-the-art production/operating resources and assembly stations. The effect: leaner processes and new machines led to increased quality of finished goods or enhanced efficiency. When talking about modernizing manufacturing, smooth material flow for kitting (compilation of components and parts necessary for producing a certain product or
module) ensures structured and efficient material delivery throughout assembly – a decisive factor for success in times of just in time manufacturing and overnight delivery.
Are you facing any of these challenges?
High personnel and time expenditure for picking and delivery of assembly kits at the work stations? Need to ensure a smooth material flow, with just in time delivery at the workstations and no time consuming and unnecessary buffering in production area? Save storage space to increase production and manufacturing spaces instead?
Then we have the solution for you

The Megamat RS is an automated vertical carousel based on the paternoster principle. It uses the “goods to person” concept and is perfectly suited for stored goods with a high access frequency.
Kardex Remstar has thoroughly refined the Megamat system, which has been proven over decades of use. As a result the compact design of the Megamat RS ensures maximum storage space using minimal floor space. Every Megamat RS unit can be used as a freestanding vertical carousel or a multistorey solution with several access openings up to a height of ten metres. This high-density storage concept achieves maximum possible capacity and well-organised storage of small parts. It is suitable for all customary storage containers and bins. The modular design guarantees investment security for the future. Megamat RS offers a choice of controls. Logicontrol 100 and 200 provide a safe control and a simple storage management solution for smaller storage volumes. By using the warehouse management system Power Pick Global all activities in more complex storage situations are optimised.
Your benefits:
- Speed: rapid access to all stored goods
- Flexibility: adaptable to almost any application
- Efficiency: noticeably lower life cycle costs
- Safety: emergency hand crank, chain, tensioner, clip system and smooth-running sliding doors
