How Vertical Lift Modules Work
Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) maximize storage space and streamline the retrieval process with a sophisticated system. Items are stored in trays positioned at least 1.5 inches above the contents of the tray below, optimizing space. The VLM’s computerized control system locates the requested item and activates the appropriate tray or shelves to bring it to the retrieval opening. An elevator mechanism carries the trays to an ergonomic level for easy access, reducing physical strain on operators.
The VLM connects to ERP systems and can deliver preprogrammed lists, with an LED bar guiding the picking process. Safety is ensured with a safety curtain that prevents issues during operation. After items are retrieved, the trays or shelves return to their original positions, maintaining efficient and organized storage.
- Our VLMs maximize vertical storage space efficiently, increasing storage capacity by up to 80%. This is achieved through the compact design and automated storage and retrieval system.
- With advanced automation, our VLMs reduce pick times by up to 60%, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing labor costs.
- Designed for user convenience and enhanced ergonomics, our VLMs minimize the need for reaching and bending, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and increasing productivity.
- Integrated software solutions offer superior inventory control, providing real-time inventory tracking, ensuring accuracy and reducing the likelihood of stock discrepancies.
