Vol. 348: Prescribed Security for Precise Healing

A New Use For A Trusted Safety Storage Solution

A hospital in Montreal was looking for help delivering medication to patients at all hours of the day, even when the pharmacist isn’t on-site. Reaching out to their local Spacesaver representative for a storage solution that could fill in to fill prescriptions when their pharmacists were out of office, the hospital was outfitted with a custom system that delivers health and safety for patients, staff, and administrators.

Utilizing our pass-thru evidence lockers – a trusted solution in the public safety market – and Spacesaver ControLoc® Technology, the representative was able to create a secure, temporary holding for potentially life-altering medications. With these innovative solutions in place, administrators and staff are able to improve their processes and automate functions that once required an on-site presence to fulfill.

Vol. 347: Putting A Lock On Effective Police Storage 

A Unique Weapons Solution From A Proven Provider

The Salisbury, Massachusetts Police Department knew they needed a secure solution for weapons storage near their sally port that would help to address an accountability concern in relation to weapons brought into its facility. Familiar with Spacesaver’s product lineup, they reached out to their local Spacesaver representative to design a custom solution whose capabilities would go beyond the bounds of our standard Universal™ Weapons Rack (UWR®).

The end result was an engineered to order (ETO), custom weapons storage application measuring 90” x 18” x 42” and featuring double doors. The system incorporates Digilock’s Numeris Aspire shared-use control pad with deadbolt, which allows the department to boost accountability by tracking the date and time at which specific users accessed the system.

Vol. 343: Providing Basement Support for the USAF

Quick supply access keeps pilots from getting grounded.

We all have at least one spot in our lives where clutter buildup is inevitable. For many, it’s the basement as it provides an “out of sight, out of mind” drop off location for your things and is a space that’s rarely accessed.

But what if your basement needs to be accessed on a regular basis, and the “clutter” is actually valuable medical supplies used to keep you and your fellow soldiers healthy and ready for action? This was the case for the USAF’s Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany whose basement storage areas were disorderly and inefficient, limiting quick access to vital equipment.

Spacesaver’s local consultants worked with the team at Patch Barracks to identify and provide solutions that would maximize the capacity and efficiency of its storage space.

Vol. 342: Indoor Hydroponic Farm

How a Start-Up Company Used GROW Systems for Leafy Greens.

When a researcher from Princeton and his business partner rented space in a large warehouse in Trenton, New Jersey, they had a mission to see how well they could grow leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables on indoor hydroponic systems. If all proved successful, they were planning to increase their operation to a larger scale.

They already had irrigation, lighting, and large “gutters” used to house the seedlings, so they needed a racking solution that could be incorporated with what they already had. They chose to work with Diversified Storage Solutions, Inc., their local Spacesaver distributor, to install four GROW mobile carriages with two sections each, and a 24” end carriage to make use of their space.

Once the system was installed, the existing irrigation was incorporated within Spacesaver’s steel system, and the gutters were hung at an angle from reinforcements above.

This solution allowed them to successfully grow their leafy greens indoors, and live bees were even added to the room for pollination!
