You can stock any kind of product in an automatic vertical warehouse; from spare parts to accessories, from tools to mechanical components, from nuts and bolts all the way to very large/heavy items such motors. Everything is stored ergonomically and within easy reach of your operators, without racks, shelves, mezzanines
or ladders. Modula offers various types of vertical warehouses, with different sizes, heights, volumes, options, bay types and tray configurations.
Easy integration into robots & production lines for manufacturing and Possible uses for Modula Vertical Lifts in Automotive Storage:
Buffer storage for parts or components needing to be stored for a certain amount of time before being moved on to subsequent production phases. Once stored, the items are then retrieved by operators or by anthropomorphous robots which place them back into the production line.
Emergency buffer storage: should a production phase upstream of the Modula come to a halt, materials are pulled directly from the warehouse to keep the production process flowing. If the problem is downstream, what has been produced so far can be stored and the Modula system gets filled with semi-finished products.
Dual front and rear loading with opposed bays: logistics operators load ready materials on one side and assembly or production technicians unload them from the opposed bay.
