What are we doing?
Electronic Controls Upgrades
-Control panels from 1998 are no longer manufactured and service is challenging.
-As panels are upgraded, parts are harvested to continue servicing and replacing failed controls elsewhere in the building.
-As panels are replaced, new wires are run and carriages are serviced.
Motors/Bearings
-This refers to motors that move the carriages along the rails, and bearings on which they glide.
-Servicing these means the shelving units will operate more smoothly and reliably in terms of mechanics.
