Automation leverages technology, machinery, and control systems to move, store, retrieve, and manage goods and materials with increased efficiency, accuracy, and safety.
A Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is an automated storage and retrieval system that uses vertical space to store items efficiently. It consists of two columns of trays (shelves) with a central automated lift that delivers items directly to the operator at an ergonomic access point.
A pallet runner is a semi-automated deep lane storage solution used in high-density warehouses. It uses a motorized cart that moves along rails inside racking to automatically load and retrieve pallets, significantly reducing the need for forklifts to enter the storage lanes.
