FFI-RAPPORT 16/00707

In coordination with Piql AS, it has been decided that all storage facilities evaluated in this

assessment are fitted with a fully automated storage system, a modified version of Element

Logic’s AutoStore® system. This system is used for the automatic handling and storing of

piqlFilms in the piqlVault.

Within the space described above there is room for an AutoStore®

grid which holds 5.000 piqlBins, each containing four piqlBoxes stacked horizontally on top of

each other. This puts the total at 20.000 piqlBoxes, or 2.240 terabyte (TB) worth of digital

storage space.

The modified version of the AutoStore®, from now on referred to as the piqlVault system, and

how this automated system operates, is described in the following. This includes what we

alluded to in chapter 3, namely the control system of the piqlVault system, or the data input, the

physical handling of the piqlBins, done by robots, and lastly the external structural

dependencies, such as power supply, and where in the system this is critical. The IT system

security architecture is described further in the last section of this chapter.

According to Piql AS’s wishes, the report only assesses risks in a piqlVault with an automated storage system. It should be noted,

however, that it is likely that some users would not wish to utilise this operating system, preferring instead a manual system for

handling the piqlFilms.

The specifications on the storage capacity in the piqlVault for the purposes of this analysis was as part of an email correspondence

with Katrine Thomsen, Project Manager at Piql AS, on 07.10.2015.
