Efficient storage and rapid access to small parts are critical for maintaining productivity and ensuring operational excellence, in today’s fast-paced logistics landscape. Companies dealing with a large number of spare parts and tools face increasing pressure to optimize warehouse space while improving inventory accuracy and operator efficiency.
KARDEX Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) provide a state-of-the-art automation solution to these challenges. VLMs are enclosed automated storage and retrieval systems consisting of vertically arranged trays stored between two columns. A robotic central extractor automatically retrieves requested trays and delivers them directly to the operator at an ergonomic access point. VLMs are suitable for a wide range of industries and can be fully integrated into Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and ERP platforms.
Increase Efficiency and Save Space: Kardex VLMs are built to support high-density storage and fast retrieval of small and lightweight goods. By maximizing vertical space and reducing walking time, these systems can help you recover up to 85% of floor space, making them ideal for warehouses with limited capacity or growing inventory needs.
Boost Accuracy and Throughput: VLMs are designed to minimize handling errors and improve fulfillment speed—delivering picking accuracy rates up to 99.9%. With intelligent workflows and guided picking, your team can maintain high productivity while ensuring the right items are delivered on time, every time and without increasing headcount.
Tailored to Your Operation: VLM systems are fully customizable to fit your specific storage and picking requirements. From bin sizes and shelving configurations to adaptable layouts that scale with your product range, we help you build the right setup for your workflow.
Organize Better with Smart Storage Accessories: For optimized small parts storage, Kardex offers a variety of accessories—including durable, reusable boxes. Available in multiple sizes, they support hundreds of location types and can be subdivided for enhanced organization, helping you keep inventory highly visible and easy to access.
