Vol. 177: Evidence Storage in a Sheriff’s Department

 

Securing the chain of custody and attaining accreditation

When Lake County (Illinois) gave its Sheriff’s Department a large area in a new building for evidence storage, the evidence manager called on the local Spacesaver consultant to help analyze the department’s storage needs and explain their options. Together they came up with a plan to secure the chain of custody throughout the facility.
In part because of new evidence storage equipment and processes, the department earned accreditation from the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program soon after move-in.

Vol. 175: ActivRAC in a beer distributorship

 

Improving safety and organization while providing access to 2400 SKUs

Managers of cold storage facilities all face the same challenge: they want to store the most stock in the least amount of space, but they also need to maintain safe and convenient access to every item. That was the case at a large beer distributorship in Chicago, where the owners had been dissatisfied with their cooler storage situation for years.
The distributorship improved customer service and created a safer and more efficient work environment by installing an ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System.

The system resulted in better selectivity, fewer write-offs, and a safer workflow. “We gained a lot more than we had imagined,” said the head operations manager. “We feel like we can do anything now that we’ve got the barrel cooler straight. It’s a major savings.”

Vol. 174: Rails in Raised Floors

 

Saving space and enabling connected workplaces

Libraries, offices, and other “wired” environments often install raised floors to conceal ethernet cables and other hardware, while still providing easy access for maintenance and repair.
For more than 20 years, Spacesaver has been integrating rail systems with raised flooring, resulting in solutions that save space in connected workplaces.

This solution applies to moving walls, high-density storage systems, mobile islands, and other Spacesaver rail-based applications.

Vol. 173: Tambour Doors for Added Security

Secure, space-saving solutions for records and confidential files

Locking tambour doors provide an additional layer of security for police departments, offices, manufacturing facilities, and other workplaces that store particularly valuable items or confidential files.

For this new courthouse in Tennessee, Spacesaver integrated tambour doors from Pentagon Security Shutters with shelving and high-density systems to create convenient, visually appealing solutions that save space and maintain confidentiality.
