Automated Warehousing

  A Vertical Carousel System (VCM) is an automated storage solution designed to optimize space utilization and streamline inventory management.  It operates on a vertical rotating mechanism, where shelves or carriers move in a closed-loop track to deliver items directly to an ergonomic access point. This "goods-to-person" principle minimizes manual handling, reduces retrieval time, and enhances operational efficiency. Key Features and Benefits: Space Efficiency : By stacking shelves vertically, VCMs utilize overhead space that is typically wasted in traditional warehouses. For example, the Kardex Megamat series can achieve up to 80% space savings compared to horizontal storage systems, making it ideal for facilities with limited floor areas High Productivity : Automated rotation ensures rapid access to stored goods, with retrieval times reduced to seconds. Systems like the Eurot carousel use software (e.g., Ejlog) to manage picking lists and track materials, significantly imp...
