Innovation Brings Opportunity is a core value at Vidir Solutions and our Engineering team was recently recognized for their commitment to this value. Congratulations to the Vidir Engineering department who recently won the 2025 Innovation Award at the Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba Awards Ceremony!
The Innovation Award was awarded for their groundbreaking work on the Powered Pan Carousel a revolutionary advancement in vertical storage technology. The Powered Pan Carousel represents a bold leap forward in engineering innovation, combining mechanical, electrical, structural, HVAC, and automation disciplines into a single, integrated solution. Designed to meet the growing demands of online grocery shopping and the Buy Online, Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) model, the Powered Pan Carousel enables efficient, climate-controlled storage of dry, refrigerated, and frozen goods—all within a compact footprint. What sets the Powered Pan Carousel apart is its world-first rotating powered shelving system, which delivers electricity to each shelf without cable entanglement. This allows for the use of powered totes that maintain precise temperatures—ensuring food safety and quality. The system uses a unique magnetic switch to safely activate power only when a tote is correctly placed, enhancing user safety. This highlights another one of Vidir’s core values, Safety Produces Security.
Congratulations to the Engineering department at Vidir for elevating us all to new heights!
