More than twelve years of engineering and design
have gone into the Modula VLM product line, providing users with unique,
field proven storage and retrieval solutions. The
Modula VLM is an enclosed, automated high-speed, high-density storage unit
housing trays of items that are stored and retrieved. Moving up and down its center is an inserter/extractor
system. The extractor stores
and retrieves trays, from vertically positioned slots on the front and
rear of the unit, and delivers them to its ergonomically designed pick
window or workstation. Saves space, time and laborThe Modula VLM offers many advantages Saves space. It takes full
advantage of ceiling height and cube, maximizing storage capacity on a
smaller footprint. Saves time and Labor. It eliminates walk and search time. Items are brought to the operator. Improves ergonomics. Items
are delivered quickly and quietly at a comfortable work height and can be
brought outside the unit for full accessibility.
There is no bending or stretching. Increases
density and throughput
Fewer units required
There are seven Modula VLM models to give you an unprecedented
choice of greater tray width, weight capacity per tray and total payload
per unit. Because White
offers this breadth of capability, users may be able to reduce the total
number of units required, creating a smaller footprint, greater space
savings and less total system investment. New levels of inventory controlThe Modula VLM’s width and weight capacities enable users to
automate and information-manage items and areas previously difficult to
effectively control. Tools
and dies too large for conventional storage…solid material storage that
requires increased capacities to justify the footprint…entire kit
storage on one tray, rather than multiple trays, for increased accuracy
and throughput…and raw material storage, such as lengthy rube, pipe and
bar stock…are all ideal applications. High throughput NoWait tray delivery system automatically and continuously
pre-positions the next tray, so the moment the operator is done with the
current tray the next tray is presented for picking. Fast extractor stores and retrieves trays at vertical speeds up to 178
feet per minute (35.44 inches per second). Increased tray width presents up to 493% more SKU’s per
tray. Increases probability
that your next pick is on the tray already presented. Fewer tray transactions required due to increased capacities. Innovative
