Frequently Asked Questions

Vertical Lift Modules

What is a vertical lift module (VLM)?

An automated storage system using trays stacked vertically inside an enclosed unit, delivering trays to an access window on command to save floor space and improve picking accuracy.

How much floor space can a VLM save compared to traditional shelving?

VLMs can allow you to recover up to 90% of the floor space you are currently occupying with traditional storage systems, so you can maximize your facility’s storage density.  Exact savings depend on your current layout.

Do VLMs integrate with warehouse management software?

Yes, most can integrate with a WMS or inventory software to track locations, quantities, and picking activity automatically.

What kind of maintenance do VLMs require?

Because they have moving mechanical and electronic components, periodic preventive maintenance is recommended.
