Montel demonstrated its leadership in the "high density storage industry" by launching the new Smart Series products line at the Neocon show held in Chicago. The company proved once again its commitment to remain the innovation leader in this industry by providing unique solutions to its customers. Montel's high quality upscale systems are always tested by industrial and certified research centers and independent laboratories.

An industry first, the revolutionary SmartTrack (Pat. Pending) is definitely changing this industry. Why? The SmartTrack does not require any ugly "wired scissors arms" to transmit the power between each mobile section since all the wiring is integrated in the floor track. Esthetically, the "armless" or no scissors arms SmartTrack electrical mobile system is definitely much more appealing in any decor environment.

Ergonomically, considering the fact that you can now add in some cases another level of shelves in height (using Montel SmartShelf 4-Post shelving system), the SmartTrack provides 16.6 % more space in a situation where a 7th shelf is added to a 6-shelf system vs traditional and conventional "wasting space" scissors arms systems.

Furthermore, the UL approved SmartTrack permits customers to have aisles of various dimensions vs scissors arms aisles widths limitations.

Another industry first, the new eMC2 Montel electrical control includes features such as the voice activation feature which permits operations for the users when their hands are full. The voice activation feature is also an ADA friendly alternative.

Other features of the eMC2 include the pin code access which lock the system and limit the access to different departments or employees. This pin code locking feature also meets HIPAA compliance.

The UL approved eMC2 control permits preprogrammed settings and updates via a modem. If the mobile system is related to the facility phone system, the Montel electrical department could basically monitor from the factory the behavior of any installed electrical mobile systems with the eMC2 controls... wherever the system is installed. This feature provides flexible solutions for Montel customers since settings modifications on their system could be done at anytime from any distance. This also avoid expensive costs when having to deal with local electricians to modify settings on any customer's system.

Finally, also a first in this industry, the unique SmartShelf exceeds the industry standards by offering many technologies into one 4-Post shelving providing unlimited storage possibilities. This hybrid shelving system provides full depth or back to back configurations or any combination of both within the same unit . Shelves are also adjustable at 1" and 1.5" increments on the same post providing full flexibility and a intelligent use of space .

Montel was very proud to launch the innovative Smart Series at Neocon. As an architect in NYC mentioned, "Montel is now leading the future of this industry ". The company is committed to lead this industry by providing only high quality space efficient products.
