All VLM pick operations and users can be monitored. Logins to specific trays are tracked so that operators don't pick the identical goods as another person in the warehouse. Modula vertical storage units and sophisticated software make sure you are always in control with all your information.

Our vertical material storage systems allow for machine-driven order picking using a fitted push button and a scan barcode. This allows maximum storage density on a compact footprint, whether in production or in warehouses.

The only way to keep our current building was to use the vertical storage space. Modula's system was able hold approximately 90% of our inventory. We couldn't believe how amazing it was!

Modula makes it possible to pick up components faster than before. Previously, operators had to walk through sections looking down rows and trying to find the right place. Now, the parts are delivered directly in front.

Design

Vertical storage solutions are the best way to make use of every inch of warehouse space you have. We don’t mean building out, we mean building up. With products like Vertical Lift Modules and automated storage and retreival systems (ASRS) from our partners at Modula, we are able to recover up to an incredible 90% of the currently used floor space. These vertical storage systems guarantee maximum storage density and employee productivity, through its state-of-the-art ergonomic design and organization.

GSS Machinery provides high-density storage solutions that help workforces work efficiently and safely. We partner with businesses to design customized storage and workspace systems that maximize productivity while saving space. Made in the USA with global materials.

One system can provide space savings, productivity improvements, inventory control, inventory security, ergonomics, and inventory control. This fully enclosed system gives you the best protection and highest inventory density.

Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. vertical material storage systems are designed to maximize overhead space and clear valuable floor space. One unit can be used to retrieve items while the other units are moving at the same moment. This allows for increased efficiency and time savings.

Two high-speed Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co. Inc 3-axis lifts serve as the central mat storage in the laundry facility.

The sealed system includes a tray stored vertically on both sides, an extractor, and a control system to produce the goods to an ergonomically arranged service opening. Also, in picking a tray, the extractor is already operating in the background to set up the next one to reduce time.

Modula Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems will Transform Material Handling into the Future.

Automated vertical carsels work with a rotating "ferris-wheel" principal. This maximizes overhead storage in your facility. Bidirectionally, shelves or carriers rotate within a track system to store inventory and retrieve it. This simple yet robust design has been around for 70+ years. It is a reliable platform for different inventory types. This ASRS design can store a lot in a very small space, and it is suitable for ceilings with shorter heights. They are delivered at an ergonomic waist height which eliminates the need to bend, stoop, ladders, or pick up orders. Integration with an ERP is possible for order processing efficiency, inventory tracking and improved order processing.

How do you design a conveyor system

All VLM picking operations are monitored. Logins can be tracked to specific trays. This helps operators avoid picking the exact same goods as another warehouse operator. Modula's advanced software and vertical storage units make it easy to know who, what, and where.

Since 1960, Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co. Inc. has been synonymous for high-quality products with innovative solutions that improve intralogistics. Today, we are the leading manufacturer of automated vertical lifting systems and storage cartousels for industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are vertical warehouses? Automated vertical warehouses are storage modules designed to automatically handle stocks of small bulk products. They work by height, utilizing vertical rather than horizontal space. Vertical lift technology is used in this automated warehouse system.

A vertical lift module (VLM) is an enclosed storage system that consists of upright stacks of trays connected by a vertical elevator. The elevator responds to commands and is capable of retrieving and delivering trays to the operator(s), resulting in a true goods-to-person pick solution.

The vertical carousel's main advantage is that it uses unused vertical space, resulting in an extremely small footprint—ideal when floor space is limited. Positioning more than one unit together, as with horizontal carousels, reduces picker wait times.
