Modula Next: the smart Vertical Automatic Warehouse that thinks like a vending machine and works like a Lift

Give your clients added value, with a new purchasing experience!

Modula Next has also been designed with your clients in mind: when installed on their premises, it functions as a storage unit for spare parts and pieces kept on site as consignment stock, ensuring that the right items are always on hand.

Taking the vending machine concept even further, a Modula Next Vertical Automatic Warehouse can be installed in a factory or warehouse, conveniently pre-stocked with other products your client might need.

Whenever a particular piece, spare part or item is required, the operator can pick it up immediately, eliminating any production or warehouse downtime in an instant.
Benefits for your clients:

• Total control over inventory management
• Single picking point
• No more stock breakage
• Fewer deliveries
• Reduced carbon footprint
• No more delays while searching for the item required
• No more waiting while supplies are re-ordered
• No more overbuying

A warehouse solution for global inventory improvement: Modula Next uses real-time data gathered from machines installed on your clients’ premises, ensuring optimal inventory management.

Modula Next uses our Lift technology, enhanced with a system of mobile windows that open on pre-filled and loaded trays.
The trays in the Modula Next vertical warehouse can be loaded with all your products, even in a single session. The Modula WMS warehouse management software is then programmed to match specific picking operations with designated compartments.

The WMS software conducts automatic analyses to gather information on how the trays are being used. It then optimises the tray layout over time, positioning the most-used trays closest to the bay for even more efficient picking.
This process ensures that the items stored within it are kept secure and can be tracked precisely at all times.

As with all of Modula’s warehouse solutions, this translates into zero picking errors, real-time inventory control, and optimal warehouse management.
What’s more, the Modula Next automated warehouse is a high-speed picking system featuring dynamic management of loading heights. This helps you achieve optimal storage density by eliminating empty spaces between trays.

Equipped to handle delicate products and maximum tray payloads, the Modula Next system meets the need for accurate picking and space saving across sectors such as automotive, aerospace, defence, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

Automated picking with Modula Next is the ideal solution for warehouse management, even in high-density warehouses. With fewer errors, handling goods throughout the system becomes far easier; reverse logistics is reduced to almost zero, and risks and delays are far less likely compared to standard vertical storage technology.
