See the ROI of Automated Vertical Lift Modules in Real Time

Use our ROI calculator to estimate labor savings, floor space optimization, and the financial impact of automating your storage with Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) and goods-to-person picking systems. In just a few inputs, see how quickly automated vertical storage solutions can pay for themselves—and how much you can save year after year.

The cost to automate a warehouse varies based on the type of system, storage capacity, throughput requirements, and level of integration. Automated storage solutions like Vertical Lift Modules are typically priced according to machine height, tray size, payload, software, and installation needs, which is why many facilities evaluate cost alongside space savings, labor efficiency, and accuracy improvements rather than upfront price alone.

Note: This calculator is intended to provide a quick, directional estimate based on our Compact Lift Vertical Lift Module (VLM). Actual storage capacity depends on many variables—including the height, size, and weight of your items; the width and depth of your trays; and the overall storage density. For high-volume installations or more complex storage requirements, we’re happy to walk you through selecting the best automated storage solution for your needs.

This model also assumes that approximately 20% of tray presentations result in multiple item picks from a single tray.
