Fabricino of Plano, Illin ois, as their Midwest Sales Manager. Mr. Fabricino has served as sales manager for Warehouse Systems, Inc., Northbroo k, Illinois; Warehouse Equipment Inc., Elk Grove, Illinois; and Kingway Caps, Ne w Hampshire. He began his career in the material handling industry in 1984 insta lling KardexRemstar, Diamond Phoenix and Richards-Wilcox carousels and has worke d as a systems integrator. Fabricino has extensive application experience in the automotive manufacturing a nd OEM parts distribution, electronics manufacturing and distribution, pharmaceu tical, heavy equipment, consumable products, and printing industries. Mr. Fabric ino attended Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois where he studied electrical engineering. Fabricino has worked for decades in designing and implementing split case and it em material handling systems. His material handling expertise has led him to des ign hundreds of systems that are focused on reducing labor by 2/3, saving floor space up to 85% while providing 100%ergonomic accessible systems for application s including: order picking, manufacturing, spare parts handling, MRO, tool and d ie, health care, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, retail, consolidation and institutions. Implementing vertical storage and retrieval solutions such as the Avenger Vertic al Carousel and Viper VLM (Vertical Lift Module) has been Fabricino s expertise. The Avenger Vertical Carousel is a series of shelves or carriers rotate vertically and deliver the required part or item to the operator at an ergonomic height wor k counter with a click of a button, scan of a bar code or voice command. The Viper Vertical Lift Module (VLM) provides vertical storage by having two col umns of trays (front and back) with a robotic inserter/extractor device running down the center. The operator simply uses a click of a button, scan of a bar cod e or voice command to deliver the required parts or items to the operator at an ergonomically positioned work counter. In fact, the height of the tray delivery can be personalized for each user s exact needs. Likewise, a tilt tray system called ViperTilt will deliver the tray and tilt it up so an operator can easily reach the entire tray without reaching, stretching and bending and a laser Pick to Light system called LaserViper will place a red dot to a fraction of an inch on the ex act item to be picked to increase accuracy. Fabricino is also expert in creating and implementing systems utilizing the Horn et Horizontal Carousel which is comprised of a series of bins with shelves that rotate on a track horizontally. Multiple horizontal carousels are used in one in tegrated workstation called a pod. A wave of orders is downloaded to the worksta tion. Batches of eight to ten orders are then sent to the carousels. The carouse ls will begin rotating automatically and stop at the first pick. A Pick to Light Lightree directs the picker as to which carousel, the item and quantity to pick . The picker completes the batch in a round robin fashion until the batch is com plete. The orders are then sent to shipping or the next workstation and the next batch is started until the entire wave is completed.
