Delray Beach, FL - Automated Self Storage Systems, LLC, a subsidiary of real estate developer The Pugliese Company, recently unveiled the first patent-pending, fully automated self-storage facility in Coconut Creek, FL. The 145,654 square foot facility will leverage Westfalia Technologies' automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) technology, which will fully automate the facility. Previously, this technology was used in industrial warehouse and manufacturing plants, marking a new era in the self-storage industry.

Operated as Safe & Secure Automated Self Storage, customers will be able to enter the secured storage area and drive up to directly access their units by entering their PIN codes, which will signal the automated Storage and Retrieval Machine (SRM). Once the PIN code is entered at the front gate, the customer will pull through the loading area to the desired loading door. The customer will then re-enter the PIN code and the storage unit will be delivered to the prompted loading door. This concept saves customers time and, ultimately, money as it virtually eliminates the tiresome hallways associated with traditional climate-controlled self-storage in the loading and unloading of personal and commercial items.

"The state-of the-art technology used to create the facility will accentuate self-service, providing customers access to prime storage space 24-hours-a-day with user-friendly, convenient and quick in-and-out service," says Paul Talley, vice president of Automated Self Storage Systems, LLC. "With this system, facility owners also increase their net leasable area up to 25% and lower their operating costs by as much as 50%, while also maximizing land space due to the floor-area ratio being calculated on one floor."
