VLM - Vertical Lift Module
The Vidir Vertical Lift Module (or VLM) is Vidir's revolutionary new automated storage and retrieval system that provides smart, adaptable inventory management to maximize density and further increase productivity. Making use of 2 tray towers, one in front and one in back, along with a center elevator, trays are extracted and presented quickly, efficiently, and at an ergonomic height for the operator. Storing the trays in vertical towers allows for a minimal footprint, saving floor space up to 85%, and keeping your employees safe.
The VLM is useful in many applications, including MRO (maintenance, repair, and operating supply) for upkeep supplies, automotive repair parts, manufacturing supplies and parts, and even integration into the pharmaceutical industry.
Automatic Height Detection
The VLM makes use of cutting-edge technology and intelligent software to accurately measure the amount of storage space required by each tray and then performs complex calculations to determine the most efficient storage location to optimize inventory density every time items are stored or retrieved.
Intelligent Software
Along with maximizing density, Vidir's intelligent software ensures the material handling process is as smooth and efficient as possible. Pick times are kept to a minimum to increase productivity and remove costly bottlenecks.
Total Control
The VLM puts you in control of your inventory while shrinking your storage footprint. The easy-to-use software interface allows you to pick and stock item lists, integrate with your ERP system, run reports from any connected PC, and includes remote access for service diagnostics, which maximizes your productivity and ROI.
