Automated Vertical Storage
automated storage
Automated vertical storage systems are basically vertical goods-to-person retrieval systems. Taking up minimal floor space in your warehouse, factory, or distribution centre, these systems retrieve items from vertically stacked trays or bins and bring them to an accessible pick-up point.
The goods-to-person principal means order picks are done quickly and 100% accurately while stock is safely secured until required.
Benefits of Automated Storage
- Space efficiency- saving of up to 90% compared to traditional storage
- Time efficiency: reduce the need for operators to traverse vast warehouses, optimising product retrieval times.
- Safety & Security: stock can be secured and only accessed with a login
- Significant improvements in picking accuracy
- Reduce labour costs as one person can operate the machine
