Why Pharmaceutical Facilities Use Vertical Carousels

  • Improved Inventory Accuracy: Barcode scanning and automated tray delivery help reduce errors and achieve up to 99% pick accuracy

  • Space Efficiency: Save up to 70–80% of floor space compared to traditional shelving—ideal for pharmacies, cleanrooms, or vaults

  • Labor Optimization: Reduce retrieval time and walking with automated delivery, leading to up to two-thirds improvement in labor efficiency

  • Clean & Secure Storage: Fully enclosed design keeps sensitive items protected from contamination and unauthorized access

  • Fast ROI: Many facilities recover their investment in under 12 months through improved efficiency and reduced overhead

  • Easy System Integration: Interfaces with WMS, ERP, and MRP systems—and can connect with automation like barcode scanners or robotic systems

Built for Healthcare Environments

Vertical Carousels can be configured for cleanroom or sterile storage use, with easy-to-clean surfaces, sealed enclosures, and integration with existing inventory systems. They’re ideal for hospitals looking to reduce clutter, improve access, and ensure critical devices are always ready for use.
