Records Storage

C&SS has been an innovative force in designing records storage & retrieval systems for the information management industry. Depending on the application, records storage systems are usually box storage or open shelf file storage. Archive storage systems built with high capacity storage racks can obtain much more dense storage than boltless widespan shelving (used in medium density records storage and also in open shelf file storage systems).

The following criteria needs to be addressed when designing file archive storage systems:
- Storage volume and warehouse layout: ceiling height, dock doors, exit doors, office area, and column locations. Temporay or permanent location?
- Capacity: What are your needs today and tomorrow? What type of storage expansion will you need as your company grows? What are your options.
- Type of storage: record archive boxes, open files, medical files, architectural plans, digital media, etc.?
- Storage & retrieval: file management software, shipping & receiving operations, number of employees working the storage system, order picking carts & ladders, scanners, RFID?
- Verticle Recipricating Conveyors (VRC): material handling elevators, conveyors, stairs to access upper levels, and other equipment involved in storage systems.
- Sprinkler system: overhead and in-rack sprinklers?
- Energy efficient lighting: T5, T8, timed lighting, automatic sensory lighting?

Records and file storage systems have many applications. There are three main types of record archives storage system.

Records Storage - High Density

High density records storage systems are used to store a large amount of documents and files.

Records Storage - Medium Density

Medium density records storage systems are used to store small to meduim amounts of documents and files.

Records Storage - Open Shelf File

Open shelf file records storage systems are used for quick access to all files. Open shelf file is mainly used in medical records storage applications. Open shelf file is also commonly used for legal business and document records storage.
