What is a Vertical Lift Module?
A vertical lift module (VLM) is an automated storage system that stores trays vertically within a fully enclosed structure. With each pick request, the system automatically retrieves the required tray and delivers it to a pick bay. This reduces labor, saves floor space, increases security, and improves picking accuracy.
Vertical lift modules are ideal for many applications, including:
- Batch picking
- Kitting
- Small parts and partial case picks
- Storage of ranges of SKU sizes
- Storage of high value items
- Storage of parts that must remain clean
- Storage of fragile items
