modern productivity solutionAutomated systemcures storage problemDeck 2 linesChildren’s HospitalColorado installs horizontalcarousels to ease growingpain in its stockroom.By Lorie King Rogers, Associate EditorFrom private patient rooms to progressive medicaltechnology to organized material and processflow, every detail of the new Children's HospitalColorado in Denver was designed and built to maximizethe patient experience—helping kids get betterfaster while reducing stress on the whole family.Reducing stress on the stockroom is also missioncriticalto the overall experience.The hospital’s stockroom inventories more than17,000 SKUs and is responsible for three types oforders: automated supply cabinet restock orders,clinician orders and ambulatory cabinet restockorders. With the help of three 52-foot-long horizontalcarousels (Kardex Remstar, www.kardexremstar.com),integrated with pick-to-light technologyand order processing software, inventory isreceived, stored, processed, picked and deliveredon time.The entire horizontal carousel system occupiesjust 1,690 square feet and is operated by oneorderpicker. Traditional shelving would need 4,131more square feet and more orderpickers. “Without thehorizontal carousels we’d have at least eight moreorderpickers running around and searching shelvingfor items and it would take 10 times longer,” saysRichard Hire, director of materials management.As the hospital network grows to meet the needsof its patients, so does its need for storage. The hospitalis building a 10-story patient tower that willincrease the number of beds to nearly 500. And, thestockroom is slated to add new SKUs and increasethe minimum inventory level of some existing SKUs.To accommodate the increased inventory, the hospitalwill install two additional horizontal carousels.“Expansion isn’t a problem for us,” says ChrisHouk, logistics and distribution manager. “One ofthe reasons we bought the horizontal carousel systemis that it’s scalable and easy to expand as thehospital grows.”With the expansion, the stockroom will runthe five horizontal carousels still using one orderpicker.M46 D e c e m b e r 2 0 1 1 / Modern Materials Handling mmh.com
