Custom workstations
Streamlining workflows and protecting botanical specimens

Spacesaver specializes in understanding clients’ needs and creating custom solutions to help achieve their goals.

For instance, the Morton Arboretum in suburban Chicago needed to create an optimal long-term preservation environment for a variety of botanical specimens, including fruit collections, seeds, and flowers.

Botany cabinets were the obvious solution, but long-term storage was only part of the equation: the arboretum also needed to keep specimens organized and protected as they moved through the intake process, from the time of their arrival at the herbarium until they were placed in their permanent location.

See the Spacesaver solution.

• Some researchers also like pull-out work surfaces in their herbarium/botany cabinets. This might be a good question to ask your clients during the planning phase.
• Staff will also be concerned with being able to isolate material when it comes in for processing so pests are not introduced into the collection.

Creating a maintenance work area with WeaponWRX® Storage System

Weapons maintenance plays a vital role in law enforcement agencies. Keeping officers’ weapons in good working order helps ensure the safety of those officers and the general public, and routine maintenance also makes optimal use of taxpayer funds by extending the useful life of costly firearms.

When the police department in O’Fallon, Mo., was in the early stages of planning a new facility, one of the items on the officers’ wish list was a weapons workbench. They wanted to keep weapons organized and secure while technicians were working on them, and they needed storage for replacement parts and other supplies.

See the Spacesaver solution.

NOTE: Although not all WeaponWRX components are drawable in Configura, please consult the enhanced Planning Guide for a list of parts that can be added via Pick-List.

The stainless steel countertop was manufactured by a third party.

Dramatically reducing retrieval time

Although business growth is generally a good thing, it can lead to inefficiency if storage systems aren’t re-evaluated periodically and adjusted to keep pace with current needs.

For instance, employees at this ink manufacturing firm had been accumulating small jars of every custom color they had made over the past 40 years. When customers requested a specific color, it took staff upwards of an hour to find it among the 16,000 jars that were stored on makeshift shelving across multiple buildings.

See how Spacesaver helped the firm consolidate, get organized, and reduce retrieval time.

Doubling capacity while restricting access to confidential records

The front office of a National Football League team was storing confidential records in large wire cages at the stadium, but the team needed to free up space in the area to construct new offices.

The local Spacesaver consultant designed a system that:

• Doubles storage capacity
• Provides convenient access
• Secures confidential files with card readers and PINs for authorized staff

NOTE: Card readers are drawable in Configura. In this case, Spacesaver was able to integrate the card readers with employees’ existing access cards. Contact us to see if your prospective client’s cards can be used with our system, or if we’ll need to design a workaround.
