Are you referring to 8-33 as noted earlier in the thread?   That includes 
retrieval systems.

Has anyone seen a system called Perfect Pick™ as manufactured by Opex 
Corporation?   Let me add to the confusion … this one is a really big (30’ high 
and up to 225’ long) double aisle columnar system that has totes with big slots 
in the sides and bottoms so water can be shed out of the totes and run down (at 
a very high volume) though the array.

Is the Modula-VLM machine similar or are the totes solid?   The problem is that 
if the totes are solid bins and don’t have lids, then by the letter of the 
listing restrictions, you can’t use them under ESFR.

Matt,

Factory Mutual has done testing in such storage units and and has published a 
data sheet on the protection of such units.

I forget which FM Data Sheet that addresses the storage units but the 
protection guide lines are very specific and detailed.

Good luck.

Have a fire safe day!

Subject: Automated storage machine

I am looking at protecting the interior of an automated storage machine. It has 
lots of small bins in it and you type what you want into a keypad it brings 
that bin down to an access area so you can grab what you need. The machine is 
30 or so feet tall and is designed to take the place of several pick-stations. 
(made by the Modula company – VLM)

Has anyone seen/protected one of these before?

Matt
