Overview
Modern vertical storage solutions such as the Vertimag Vertical Lift Module (VLM) help transportation and warehousing companies run more efficiently. Shuttles, or carts, run between racks and collect or stack pallets onto the racks, automating the picking and storage process, which ultimately reduces labour costs and the risk of accidents associated with manual handling. By optimising your vertical storage space and decreasing the footprint of your current storage system, the VLM improves the automation of your warehousing process and eliminates the need for new premises or more racks, freeing up valuable floor space that can be repurposed for other activities such as sorting or processing areas. Because of its inherent versatility, you can install a system that precisely fits the format, size, and weight of the commodities you handle.
Why You Should Invest in a Vertical Lift Module
- Optimised Space Utilisation and Energy Efficiency: VLMs excel in maximising vertical space, drastically reducing the storage footprint and as they are also designed to be energy-efficient, consuming less power than traditional storage systems, they lower operational costs.
- Enhanced Safety and Operational Speed: The ergonomic design of the Vertimag VLM minimises manual handling by delivering items at an ideal height for operators, improving safety, reducing the risk of accidents and significantly accelerating operations.
- Cost-Effectiveness Over Time: Although the initial installation cost may be significant, the long-term benefits such as improved space utilisation, reduced labour costs, and enhanced operational efficiency ensure a favourable return on investment.
Quickline’s Vertimag Virtual Lift Module (VLM) storage system, developed by the Ferretto Group, promises to revolutionise and positively impact warehouse operations. Designed with precision and attention to detail in mind, it is ergonomic, energy-efficient and quiet, built to reduce the potential physical strain of manual handling while providing cost savings and environmental stability due to its low energy consumption. The system also boasts better picking and storage accuracy because of its intelligent management software integration option, which reduces errors and streamlines the fulfilment process to improve overall productivity.
The system is highly durable and reliable; up to 990 kg of items can be loaded into a single tray using the Vertimag VLM, bringing the maximum capacity to a remarkable 70,000 kg, perfect for businesses and industries that handle substantial products. With the VLM’s three-depth settings and five-width options, your warehouse may accommodate up to fifteen distinct configurations. Additionally, it offers four distinct tray capacities in six picking bay combinations, providing complete flexibility for you to customise it to meet your unique requirements. The VLM can accommodate an amazing range of attachments, including label printers, counting scales and alphanumeric LED bars in addition to laser pointers all while increasing efficiency and accuracy levels.
Vertical Lift Module Features and Benefits
VLMs are sophisticated storage solutions offering a range of benefits that make them a valuable asset in various storage applications. Six key features include:
Cost Effective: The installation of the Vertimag VLM does involve an up-front cost, but the benefits of optimised storage, increased safety and efficiency in your warehouse justify this and lead to long-term savings by decreasing labour.
Increased Operational Efficiency: VLM management software improves inventory management providing real-time tracking and stock control, and alerts operators when module inspection and maintenance is due, preventing unexpected downtime.
Energy Efficiency: VLMs are designed to be very energy efficient, contributing to lower operational costs and increasing your sustainability.
Improve Warehouse Safety: Fewer people will be required in the warehouse and lifting methods for storing goods and picking which could give rise to accidents will no longer be in use after installation.
Flexibility: VLMs can be customised to meet specific storage needs, ensuring a wide range of items can be stored while the system can be scaled or modified should the business increase or change.
