Controller Upgrades
Do you have Vertical or Horizontal Carousels in your facility?
Are you having trouble getting parts or service for the old controls?
Are you considering buying a used carousel, but are concerned about the obsolete controller?
Are the controls out of date with respect to the latest safety codes from ANSI and OSHA?
If they were delivered prior to 2005, the answer is likely yes!
If you answered 'yes' to any of the questions above, Robey Controls can help!
In this case, consider upgrading the controllers. Many things have changed with the ANSI and OSHA employee safety standards in this area over recent years. Our carousel controls are up-to-date with the latest applicable Standards and in most cases can be factory labeled with UL and cUL labels.
ü Vertical Carousels: Our controller upgrade kits are custom designed especially for the Kardex Remstar brand Vertical Carousels supporting all generations since 1982. This includes the MP, T85, T88, C2000, and C3000 controllers and the MP3000, T2, T3, TR, OP2000 and OP3000 keypads.

ü Our control technology was designed in 2010 according to the latest Safety regulations from OSHA, NEC, NFPA79, ANSI and UL. Our chief designer has over 25 years experience with carousel controllers, as the former VP-Technology of Kardex Remstar, and holds a valid State-of-Maine Electrician's license.
ü Most parts in our controllers are available off-the-shelf, and we provide the domestic supplier parts list so that you can purchase your own parts directly if you wish, avoiding the enormous mark-ups typically added by the leading suppliers.
ü Our interfaces are OPEN using modern Ethernet TCP/ip protocols.
ü We can emulate the brand-specific interfaces from Kardex Remstar (eg MP3000, T2, T3, T85, T88, C2000, C3000), so that you won’t need to change your inventory management software package if you upgrade to our controllers. We offer a 1:1 matching connector board for easy plug&play connection.
ü We offer a low-cost, entry-level Part Locator application for use on Windows based PC’s. This allows you to find Part Numbers within up-to four devices, whether they are controlled by RobeyControls or Kardex Remstar brand controllers. We support all the host interface protocols for the Kardex Remstar brand of controllers, and if your interface hardware to these controllers is defective or unavailable, we may have an alternate solution for you, just ask.
ü We have partnered with a major provider of software for distribution and manufacturing if you don't already have your own, and they will drive our controllers seamlessly.
ü Purchasing costs are usually much lower than that of the leading supplier, and the product quality is much higher!
ü Installations are usually accomplished in a single day per carousel.
ü Our kits include properly sized mechanical components to ensure the correct fit on all the Kardex Remstar brand carousels.
ü We can remotely connect to our machine controllers, over the internet, for debugging, training or tech-support efforts. We’ve even got an app for remote diagnostics allowing us to provide support via our iPhones when we’re away from our office, and we can show your maintenance department how to do the same!
ü Your cost-of-ownership is very low and your product up-time is very high. You control your own priorities!
ü Your employees will be safer and OSHA will stay off your back. Our UL labels give you added protection and peace-of-mind.
