Vertical Lifting Module VLM
Optimizing Storage Utilization and Workflow with Vertical Lift Modules
Vertical Lifting Modules - VLM
a “Goods-to-Person" retrieval system, enhance order picking efficiency and maximize spatial efficiency in a facility. Despite its intricate design, its built-in software makes it one of the most intuitive devices in your storage area. VLMs can present one or two trays simultaneously to the retrieval zone and are typically employed for storing and selecting smaller, less frequently moved items

VLMs excel in space conservation, shrinking a 5,000-square-foot area down to approximately 150 square feet, resulting in a 90% reduction in space usage.
They can employ either internal retrieval, where trays remain entirely within the unit, or external retrieval, where the picking bay extends 3 to 4 feet out. With their user-centric controls for various operations, VLMs are an adaptable and valuable addition to any facility

Adaptability of VLM's
- The VLM detects the highest item in a tray and auto-adjusts internally to optimize the overall storage volume.
- Within each tray, storage spot sizes can be swiftly modified during receipt via the VLM's display.
- The device brings the tray to the retrieval zone, and a laser indicates the exact spot where the item is for the operator.
- A light bar in the VLM further guides the operator to the correct position.
- The VLM's features eliminate any uncertainties, guaranteeing top-notch picking precision. Integration of a pick-to-light batching table with the VLM enables the selection of several orders simultaneously from multiple units, resulting in an impressive pick rate per hour.
Advantages of Vertical Lift Modules
- Significantly elevated picking speeds result in labor cost reductions in the facility.
- Optimal use of available space.
- Environmentally-friendly lift options are accessible.
- VLMs have the capacity to handle up to 120 trays per hour, and several units can be combined for peak operational performance.
- Each unit can accommodate a substantial volume and weight of items within a compact area.
