The Intelligent Automated Vertical Storage System for Accurate, Secure, and Traceable Picking

Modula Next is an automated vertical storage system designed to make picking operations more accurate, secure, and fully traceable. It combines the efficiency of Modula automated storage systems with the logic of an industrial vending machine: when an item is requested, the system automatically brings the correct tray to the access bay and allows access only to the designated compartment.

This ensures that the operator can retrieve only the requested material, dramatically reducing errors, mix-ups between similar item codes, unauthorized withdrawals, and inventory discrepancies.

Modula Next is designed for manufacturing, logistics, and industrial environments where picking accuracy is critical. It is an automated warehouse picking system for controlled and traceable picking, ideal for handling high-value components, expensive parts, sensitive materials, or products requiring maximum security and control.

Discover Modula Next: Accuracy and Control with Every Pick

With Modula Next, picking becomes:

easier
safer
more reliable

The system automatically retrieves the correct tray and opens only the compartment associated with the requested item, thanks to shutters with configurable opening levels, ranging from a 10×10 section up to the entire tray.

The operator therefore has access to a single picking point, helping prevent errors even when handling very similar products, closely related item codes, or high-value materials.

Security also extends to access management and activity tracking. With tools such as user login, badge readers, EKS readers, and RFID readers, Modula Next makes it possible to know who performed each operation, when it was carried out, and which item was involved.

This provides precise process control, increases picking reliability, and improves material management within the automated warehouse.

A Solution for Every Controlled Storage Requirement

Modula Next is designed for companies that need to manage materials with a high level of accuracy while reducing errors, waste, and search times.

Its operating logic is similar to a single-item automated warehouse, where the operator can access only the compartment associated with the requested product. This makes picking safer, more controlled, and fully traceable.

It can be used for:

Industrial components
Tools and spare parts
PPE and safety equipment
Pre-assembled kits
Sensitive or high-value items
Pharmaceutical and biomedical products
Automotive and aerospace components
MRO
Items with specific variants, such as sizes, dimensions, item codes, or serial numbers

Thanks to precise access control and complete traceability of every withdrawal, Modula Next helps prevent critical errors.

Each material is protected, monitored, and made available only when needed, to the authorized person and in the correct quantity.

With Modula Next, companies can improve inventory management, increase material security, and maintain an accurate, up-to-date view of warehouse availability, helping prevent returns and production downtime.

Benefits of the Modula Next Automated Warehouse

Accuracy

Modula Next eliminates uncertainty from picking operations.

The system opens only the correct compartment, preventing access to other materials stored within the same tray.

This makes picking more reliable, particularly when handling similar items, complex item codes, or critical components.

Efficiency

With Modula Next, the tray is automatically delivered to the picking bay and the operator immediately finds the requested material.

Search times, unnecessary movements, and low-value manual activities are significantly reduced.

Security

With Modula Next, access to materials can be controlled through login credentials, badges, or user authorizations.

Every movement is monitored and traceable, helping reduce theft, loss, damage, and unauthorized withdrawals, especially when sensitive or high-value materials are involved.

Flexibility

Configurable compartments make it possible to manage items of different sizes, from small components to more complex kits.

Modula Next can adapt to a wide range of industries and production processes.

Inventory Control

Thanks to integration with Modula WMS, quantities are updated in real time.

This makes it possible to monitor consumption, availability, turnover, and replenishment requirements, improving inventory planning.

Ergonomics

With Modula Next, materials are automatically delivered to a comfortable working height for the operator, reducing bending, unnecessary movement, and manual handling.

A New Approach to Consignment Stock Management

Modula Next is an ideal solution for managing consignment stock, functioning as an automated storage cabinet for parts and spare components.

It can be installed directly at the customer’s site and stocked with materials, spare parts, or components belonging to the supplier, making them available only when needed, much like an intelligent vending machine.

For the supplier, this means greater control over consumption, inventory levels, and the customer’s actual requirements.

For the end user, it means always having essential components available without having to maintain excessive stock levels or risk operational interruptions.

Benefits for the supplier

Control over access and withdrawals
Up-to-date data on actual consumption
Fewer inventory errors
Better replenishment planning
Greater customer loyalty

Benefits for the customer

Materials always available
Fewer stockouts
Fewer urgent orders
Greater budget control
Payment based on actual usage

The Ideal Solution for PPE Management

Modula Next makes it possible to centralize and control the distribution of Personal Protective Equipment.

Each operator can access only authorized items, in the correct size and quantity.

Safety shoes, gloves, helmets, technical clothing, protective eyewear, and other equipment can all be managed while keeping availability and consumption under constant control.

In this application, Modula Next can operate as a highly controlled PPE vending machine, combining automated dispensing with secure storage and complete traceability.

Benefits

PPE protected from damage and contamination
Withdrawals tracked by operator
Quantities always up to date
Reduced waste
Greater compliance with safety procedures

Efficient and Fully Controlled Kitting

Modula Next improves the management of pre-assembled kits by allowing them to be stored in dedicated compartments that can only be accessed when required.

The operator no longer needs to search for individual components in different warehouse areas. Instead, the system retrieves the kit, opens the correct compartment, and allows everything required to be picked in a single operation.

As an automated warehouse picking system, Modula Next helps standardize kitting activities and reduce the risk of selecting incomplete or incorrect kits.

Benefits

Kits always complete and available
Fewer assembly errors
Faster picking
Up-to-date inventory
Reduced losses and missing components
