Rising energy costs and increasingly scarce resources are generating demand for energy-efficient solutions in every industry. Logistics and distribution are no exception. For this reason, KASTO has developed an innovative energy recovery and storage concept for its automatic bar stock and sheet metal storage systems named KASTOenergysave. It enables the conversion of excess kinetic energy into electricity and its intermediate storage for later use if necessary. This lowers operating and investment costs and reduces CO2 emissions.
