Vertical Carousels
- Vertical carousels are designed for storage and retrieval of high-frequency goods and like-sized inventory.
- Ideal for: high-frequency goods, lightweight materials, like-sized parts, laboratory slide storage
Vertical Lift Modules
- Using its “goods-to-person” system, the VLMs are designed for storing, retrieving, and managing various part sizes and heavy-duty inventory. VLMs maximize overhead storage to save up to 85% of floor space compared to traditional static storage.
- Ideal for: heavy-duty goods such as tools, molds, and dies; materials that require pallet handling and crane access; batch picking; high-throughput order picking
Vertical Buffer Modules
- Vertical buffer modules with bin-based storage are designed for storage and retrieval of slow-moving parts with its energy efficient design and easy integration into existing WMS systems.
- Ideal for: bin-based storage; picking large numbers of small parts quickly; spare parts storage; slow-moving parts; kitting areas
Inventory Management Software
- Suitable for all warehouse management applications and integrates seamlessly with ASRS storage systems. Inventory management software navigates the order fulfillment process for fast, accurate, and easy picking. Its modular structure provides the exact functionalities you need for your operation.
- Ideal for: batch picking; multi-user picking; high order volumes; integration with devices such as barcode scanners, batch lights, LED light pointers, and printers
