Self Storage Systems - Innovative Way Of Securing Your Important Items

By Edward Spencer

The self storage concept involves renting out segmented spaces of a huge warehouse to clients for any time span that suits them, no matter how short or long. Customers are enjoying better facilities provided by storage companies, as the companies compete with each other to fulfil the rapidly growing demand in the industry. Through greater use of technology, these firms have greatly increased the scope and efficacy of self storage.

The requirement for technology was realised by self storage firms basically in order to ensure better security of the items and to protect the goods from damage due to the conditions inside the storage. Later, technology was extended to storage and recovery of goods, and to increase the convenience for the clients.

You will find closed circuit cameras in any reputed self storage unit which ensures a safe storage of precious items. This system enables the storage managers and watchmen to constantly observe what is going on inside the warehouse and foil any attempts of theft in the beginning itself. Door alarms and electronic door access systems are also installed which makes it more difficult for burglars to move inside the premises.

For every individual storage unit, the customers are now given an access card in place of a mechanical lock and key system. In fact, some facilities even provide a biometric access system, which makes use of a hand scanner to open the door. Such security systems are best for the safekeeping of classified or highly valuable items.

Some facilities have now started making use of radio frequency technology to make sure of even greater security of your items. In this sophisticated system, an almost invisible RFID tag is put on each article kept inside the storage. Discovery of a tag by door scanners makes them raise an alarm the minute someone who is not authorized to move your items does so inside the warehouse.

Many people want to store valuable items made of wood or paper. Such items are very prone to damage if the weather conditions are adverse. Likewise, technological goods and medicinal drugs may get damaged due to exposure to excessive heat. Climate control technology is a perfect solution to this issue, and any good warehouse will have this technology installed to keep heat and moisture levels within safe limits for long term storage of your valuables.

There are a lot of other groundbreaking technologies being utilized by storage firms for better and safer storage, with their importance in the industry increasing rapidly. This is ensuring full protection and security of your valuable items at inexpensive costs.
