Datum Goes to New Heights to Give Hospital Custom Storage Solution

Posted by on 9 September 2011 | 0 Comments

When the Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island moved to a new building, they didn’t have a tall order for their new patient records filing system; instead they had the opposite. The current mobile storage system couldn’t fit in the new area because of its low ceiling clearance. Datum, who worked in conjunction with SYSTEMATICS (http://www.systematics.biz), a Datum Authorized Reseller, created a customized filing solution flexible enough to stay within the strict height requirements while still maximizing storage space.

The low ceiling height of the room required a mobile system that could adapt. Datum installed a MobileTrak3® system equipped with ThinStak® shelving. Here’s how their new system breaks down:

The MobileTrak3® eliminates the need for aisles between shelving, reducing space by at least 50 percent. It also features a lower profile than most mobile systems that allows it to accommodate the hospital’s low ceiling. Most importantly, the MobileTrak3®offers the ability to expand and grow as the hospital’s storage needs do.

The ThinStak® is Datum's low profile shelving line. It’s able to add an extra row of shelving in tight spaces which can increase the amount of files stored by more than 50 percent in 27 percent less floor space! And for the variety of files the hospital may need to store, the ThinStak® can be made to accommodate letter and legal files, X-ray jackets, books, binders, mammograms and more.

Combining Datum’s two unique product lines created a customized system able to accommodate the files that the hospital needed to store while staying within the hospital’s height requirements for the lower ceiling clearance.
