Wire Baskets For Storing Die Castings & Components

We specialize in manufacturing wire baskets for storing automotive castings. Die-casting is a process by which molten metal is forced by a plunger or compressed air into a metallic die and the pressure maintained until the metal has solidified.

Die castings are accurate, are sharply outlined, have a good surface finish, and can be made in complicated designs. Zinc, aluminum, and magnesium alloys are the principal metals used. The high cost of the die usually limits the process to large-scale, high-speed production.

Die-castings are stored & transported in wire baskets. We specialize in supplying high quality, low cost wire baskets for the storage of castings. We supply collapsible wire baskets to world class manufacturer's of automotive castings and components to the automotive industry.

LED Bulbs Save Substantial Energy, A Study Finds

A version of this article by Eric A Taub appeared in print on Nov. 30 on page B6 of the New York edition of the New York Times:

Does the latest generation of energy-saving light bulbs save energy? A comprehensive study conducted by Osram, the German lighting company, provides evidence that they do.

Rick Friedman for The New York Times

A standard incandescent bulb over its life will use almost five times the energy of an LED bulb, a German study concluded.

A blog about energy, the environment and the bottom line.

While that may seem self-evident, until the release of the report on Monday the answer remained unclear.

That is because no one knew if the production of LED lamps required more energy than needed for standard incandescent bulbs.

May I propose a VC, HC, VLM or ASRS for Your Maintenance Area

When a company moves into a new facility they dedicate lots of floor space to their maintenance department. As the company grows they tend to cannabalize the space they need from their maintenance department. What was once a large space for storing all of the required items that makes a company run has now become a small space. Quite often a company feels that their only option is to move to a larger facility. A solution is a Vertical Carousel (VC), Horzontal Carousel (HC), Vertical Lift Module (VLM) or an Automated Storage Retrieval System (AS/RS).

These days it's all about "Revenue Per Square Foot".

Lithonia Lighting...This Isn't Your Grandfathers Warehouse Lighting

Warehouse Lighting...You've come a long way baby. From Sodium to Metal Halide to Fluorescent. Over the years, industrial lighting has made some great advancements. I don't claim to be an expert at industrial lighting but I've done some research for this blog post and these are some of the things I've learned: 

Sodium Lighting is an older lighting technology and its illumination can be considered more yellow than white. Sodium lighting gives the appearance of less light when compared to halide or fluorescent lights. 

Metal Halide lighting is also considered "Old School" but is still the preferred choice in demanding environments where dirt, vibration and high temperatures are imminent. Metal Halide lamps offer high intensity pure white light but also offer less energy efficiency than fluorescent lights.

The biggest trend today in warehouse lighting is the retrofit of existing Metal Halide lights to T5HO or T8 fluorescent high bay lighting.  By going to fluorescent you can achieve more than you can ever imagine.
