Advantages of Vertical lift module(VLM)
Vertical lift module(VLM) is an abbreviation for a type of equipment, which is controlled by computer software and can automatically transport goods into and out of the warehouse. VLM can be used for storing raw materials, samples, tools, spare parts, finished products, files, and so on. It is widely used in enterprises and institutions, banks, electronics industris, aviation, aerospace, medicine, military, ships, railways, docks, petrochemicals, and manufacturing industries.
VLM can be used for automated inventory management of the following items: files, electronic trays, PCB boards, medical devices, equipment spare parts, accessories, semi-finished products, tools, cutting tools, molds, etc.
VLM has the following characteristics:
- realize automation of "goods-to-person"
- can reach up to 24 meters, making full use of the height and space
- equipped with WMS software, can be connected to the factory software system and achieve full process informatization
- first-in-first-out function
- hierarchical authorization management function
-
can pass through floors, and each floor is assigned with a storage port
- the warehouse and the vertical lift module are integrated, no need to build a new warehouse
- the system space is fully enclosed, and effectively isolated from sunlight and dust
- Compared to static storage solutions, smart VLM can increase the storage space by about 50% under the same area.
- reduce the walking distance of workers by 70%
- can coordinate with automated hoisting equipment, and significantly reduce the labor intensity of workers
- equipped with a height measuring system, can select storage positions according to the height of the items, thus maximizing space utilization
- can store goods of different packaging sizes and special packaging shapes, the maximum load-bearing can reach up to 60 tons
- can store items with a maximum size of 3200*1300*600mm and a maximum weight of 1000kg
