The distribution center houses 24 Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co. Inc. lean-lift(r) systems. They ensure a smooth, efficient flow of goods to be sold online.
Allows for storage and retrieval of items or documents utilizing the “Ferris wheel” principal Gerhard Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co. Inc developed in 1957.
Vertical Material Storage Systems AutomatedModula systems allow us to pick parts for kits faster than we used to be able to. Before Modula, operators had to walk down aisles looking for a specific spot. The parts are delivered directly to the users.
Modula systems make it much easier to pick components for kit kits than the time it took to go from one section to another, walking down rows of aisles and trying to locate a specific place. The parts can be delivered directly in front of the user.
Modula’s interface with ERP allows for seamless client orders transfer to the operation team. For our customers, that can make all a difference.
If we wanted to stay in our current building, our only option was to use the vertical space for additional storage. The Modula system was able to store approximately 90% of our inventory – we couldn’t believe it!
Innomed had problems warehousing inventory after it was received from the manufacturer. Instruments were kept on shelves and picked up from them, which took up too much space. Their storage system was inefficient and unsafe. Employees had to climb ladders to access stock.
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.
A vertical carousel can be used to store back stock, larger boxes, bulk items and raw materials. Automated inventory retrieval and storage can help you avoid handling or accessing stock that may be difficult to manage.
With high storage density, articles can be stored quickly and retrieved quickly. Based on the goods-to-worker model (instead man to goods), it saves time as well as labor cost.
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.
Vertical storage lift trays can accommodate up to 2,200 lbs, regardless of their width or depth. The lift's transmission features a steel reinforced, toothed belt. It is quiet, reliable and can move quickly even with heavy trays.
Vertical carousels are designed to accommodate bulky items, back stock and larger boxes. Automatically storing and retrieving inventory can make it easier to manage or retrieve.
They also have instruments that vary in size, shape, and sometimes include unusual curves and shapes. It can be difficult to store these instruments. They wanted a flexible storage option that would not only save them space but also be safe and effective.
One option is to use your bookcases. Place the shelves against one wall and the boxes containing your frequently used items on top. Just make sure to leave a path in front of them so you can remove the boxes. Another option is to buy shelving specifically for your unit.
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.
