Automated Storage Solutions for Fulfillment & Distribution

In high-velocity fulfillment and distribution centers, picking speed and order accuracy are the keys to profitability. White Systems’ Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) help 3PLs, e-commerce retailers, and wholesalers consolidate thousands of SKUs and orders into a centralized, high-density footprint. These systems eliminate the ‘search and travel’ time that slows down order fulfillment, allowing your team to maximize lines picked per hour.

How VLMs Accelerate Distribution Throughput

White Systems provides the secure access, inventory tracking, and real-time audit trails required for high-density inventory control, real-time SKU tracking, and seamless order kitting.

 

  • Eliminate Operator Travel: Bring the SKU to the picker, eliminating miles of walking through warehouse aisles.

  • High-Velocity Picking: Mention the Compact Twin’s dual-delivery system (while one tray is being picked, the next is being fetched).

  • 99.9% Accuracy: Vital for e-commerce where returns from mis-picks are expensive.

  • Scalable Footprint: Scale your SKU count without expanding your warehouse walls.

Case Study: ABB — Consolidating 500 Locations into One VLM

Space Recovery & Organization

By consolidating hundreds of pick locations into a high-density VLM footprint, companies like ABB have eliminated miles of operator travel time, dramatically increasing lines picked per hour.

Key Outcomes:

  • 85% reduction in storage footprint

  • Consolidated 500 storage locations into 1 VLM

  • Enhanced accuracy through barcode integration

“We have been able to eliminate over 500 storage bin locations. We’ve been able to use that space to maximize and optimize the production of our floor.”
