Open Racks

INTRODUCTION

Open racks serve in several needful capacities. They allow users to mount and secure their equipment in an open space. Most equipment overheats because they are housed in close areas. There is little room to release, and less space for heat to escape.

Open Rack is an open standard for server rack design in hyper-scale data center conditions.

Open Rack differs from the traditional 19-inch rack width by featuring a 21-inch wide hole. Open Rack sketches specifications for single and triple rack designs.

According to the Open Rack compact, the following design elements are included by Open Rack's specifications:

●     Physical design

●     Power division

●     Battery reserve

●     Cable industry

●     Thermal design and server density

●     Service facility

●     Flexibility

●     Scalability

The Open Rack creates a new, open standard for server rack design that provides an innovative program for rack infrastructure while reducing TCO in the scale compute space. It's the first rack standard that's meant for data centers, combining the rack into the data center support, part of the Open Compute Project's "grid to gates" philosophy, a holistic design process that considers the relationship of everything from the power grid to the gates in the chips on each motherboard.

USES

When it comes to using and setting up equipment in a computer room or data center, it is important to make the best use of the space available. For this purpose, open racks are a great solution to help stay prepared in a cost-effective manner. Here are five uses of open racks and why you should consider them for your equipment storage needs.

Cost

Open racks are a cost-effective way to manage things, compared to enclosed racks. The cost of manufacturing and transportation are less than those of closed racks. 

Quick installation

Not having to worry about installing side panels makes the installation of open racks a much easier task. 

Airflow

Enclosed racks can create an ecosystem for heat to build up. Open racks, on the other hand, allow for unlimited airflow, preventing heat build-up. 

Easy access

The open rack design allows for easy access to tools and cabling. 

Better cable management

It can be a difficulty trying to manage cords and cables with an enclosed rack, but with an open rack, cable control is much easier as you can run the cables without any restrictions from panels. 

Features

●     Conforms to DIN 41494 or Equivalent ISO / EN Standard

●     High-strength, lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion constructions

●     Two top angles and heavy-duty construction hardware for a stronger open rack to handle more complex loading

●     25 No. M6 mounting bolts with sequence Phillips/ Straight heads and pilot points to overcome cross threading and installation time.

●     Different packaging inserts reduce damage from components hitting together in the package during transportation and handling.

●     Ease of gathering by high-quality bonds.

●     Universal 12.7mm-15.875mm-15.875mm alternating hole pattern offers greater mounting versatility, maximizes the usable mounting area

●     Numbered U positions

5 Benefits of Open Racks

Easy Installation

Open racks make the hardware mounting process easier when compared to enclosed racks. When you’re installing hardware in an enclosed rack, you may have to remove panels and twist your hands to securely mount the hardware. Open racks streamline the process by allowing you to install mounting brackets from whichever angle is easiest.

 Easy Maintenance

Open racks don’t have walls, which makes hardware accessible from all sides even when server hardware is already installed. If you have to exchange cables around or pull out a fixed server, the open rack helps streamline the process. Additionally, the lack of wall barriers can make it easier to maintain without having to remove the hardware at all. 

Easy Organization

In-use server racks commonly have dozens, if not hundreds, of cables running between connected devices. The open rack makes it easier to keep those cables from becoming a tangled mess. A closed server rack can prevent cable routing paths, especially with hardware that features ports on the front or sides. You can manage cables in any direction with an open frame server rack without any issue. 

Unrestricted Air Flow

It’s no secret that servers can produce a lot of heat: enclosed server racks can cause heat build-up. Too much heat can damage the hardware. Open racks can increase the life of your hardware and improve performance by providing unlimited airflow. Open server racks allow airflow in all directions, letting the hardware run in a cooler setting. 

Lower Cost

Open racks have lower stock and transportation costs compared to enclosed racks. The open versions use less stock and take up much less space when struck. The open frame’s lower weight and smaller footprint make it easier to export. 

Conclusion

If you want to install good quality with the cheapest price open stack in your business, you can contact Mek Structural Engineering.

Pigeon Hole Rack

INTRODUCTION

Instead of using expensive hole racks, our pigeon hole racks use full-length dividers to create the individual open-fronted sections, this simple but powerful design allows each shelf height to be fixed relative to the items being stored - providing a manageable solution that can adapt to an ever-changing stock profile. When your stock profile carries a wide variety of different items, pigeon-hole racks shelving systems provide a practical and cost-effective storage solution - perfect for improving stock-picking duties whilst maintaining good levels of stock visibility.

Built from the same high-quality components as our range of Trimline stockroom shelving, these pigeon-hole racks come in a range of sizes to suit practically any application but are most common with high road retailers who need huge quantities of stock in what are often very small markets areas. Slim posts and small beams combine to offer a class-leading storage solution that can be combined into even the most rigidly shaped stock rooms.

The photos below show a first fashion retailer utilizing long runs of this style of racking in the stockroom, storing a high number of SKU's in an open-plan style that is very user friendly.

Retailers who mainly sell clothing can maximize storage space by using pigeon hole racks that are the same shape and size, others profit from a mixture of different sizes to provide more varied stock profiles.

The picture shown is taken from a high street fashion retailer's stockroom where they have made excellent use of the pigeon hole rack storage system combined into the standard Trimline shelving system. This smart use of space includes standard shelves, mid-section cubby holes, and garment hanging to offer a comprehensive all-in-one storage solution.

As stock ranges and buying courses change, the shelves and forms can be easily altered when required thanks to the simple bolt-less design that requires no special devices to collect or adjust. As a general rule, static pigeon hole racks like the ones shown costs around £130 per running meter but each project is unique and we suggest that you provide us with your storage requirements so that we can provide you with an accurate selection.

Here are some trends of metal storage bin and container manufacturers say are transforming the industry right now.

● Metal storage Bins you can see through.

Clear metal storage bins came of age in 2019 and will likely remain popular well into 2020 as well. Granger says that Quantum first started making clear metal storage bins about 10 years ago, and they’ve since become the company’s fastest-growing product category. The concept is fairly simple: When the picker can visually see what’s inside the metal bin, it helps speed up the picking and packing process. “In an atmosphere where every second count,” says Granger, “simply having clear metal storage bins can help enhance productivity levels.”

● E-commerce as the ultimate driver of innovation.

Because it forces organizations to pick down to the eaches level (where containers come into play), e-commerce continues to play a major role in the way totes and metal bins are designed, made, and used. “E-commerce is having a large impact on totes,” says Andrea, market manager for the retail supply chain at ORBIS. To accommodate these changes, she says more organizations are trying out new container solutions and then integrating them into existing operations.

They’re also segmenting those choices across different features of e-commerce, including direct-to-retail, direct-to-consumer, and so forth. For example, where totes that are being delivered to retail stores typically have lids and handles, those that are used to fulfill e-commerce orders (pick-and-pack totes) may not even have lids or may have storehouses fronts.

How Mobile Shelving Systems Works in 2020

So, in this blog, we’ll discuss what a mobile shelving system is, how the mobile shelving system works, and the advantages of the mobile shelving system.

The mobile shelving systems are storage cabinets or racks attached to carriages on wheels that slide across a floor track to eliminate fixed passages that waste space, giving you more filing capacity within the same footprint. Mobile shelving systems units provide a space-saving storage solution that enables better utilization of office space to obtain twice the storage of documents and files in an existing area.

Opening and closing the compactable racks is easy to do with controls that facilitate passage movement. Using a push-button, you can eliminate wasted space and store more in a track half the size to improve efficiency. The solution is a more optimal choice than traditional options. It can solve paperwork storage problems that trouble offices with space shortage concerns. This blog discusses various topics to help you understand space-efficient shelving concepts.

●       The principle behind the mobile shelving systems.

●       Advantages of using mobile shelving systems.

●       Costs associated with mobile shelving systems.

 How Mobile Shelving Systems Works

Mobile shelving systems have rows that move along floor tracks until compacted into a smaller-size trace, giving you more space to store extra paperwork and store files. During non-use, press the rows together until closed while leaving a few ways open. It helps keep stored contents confidential without sacrificing users' accessibility. If you need fast opening access, use the push-button controls to move up to six passages simultaneously. It requires little physical effort, helping save you time whenever you're busy.

With fewer openings to maintain, you will avoid wasting valuable floor space and use the full footprint to meet growing production needs. The easy-to-use controls facilitate position movement, so you can double capacity or save half the space in an instant. Mobile shelving helps avoid wasting viable storage and can also combine paper documents in one convenient location. Everything is more organized and easily accessible, eliminating employee frustration during retrieval.

To help you further understand the novel space-saving concept of mobile shelving systems, experts provide the following statistics through simple comparisons.

●       Moving shelves that stand seven-tiers high can provide 45 linear filing storage inches in 12.5 square-foot meters.

●       Sliding shelving with the same tier height can generate 30 inches of space in 8.5 square-foot meters.

●       Open shelves that measure as high allows access to 25 inches of space in 7 square-foot meters.

Advantages Of Mobile Shelving Systems.

The advantages of mobile shelving systems extend far beyond the space-saving benefits you will attain. To help you decide if it fits with your office document or file needs, we'll discuss some.
