How to reduce the percentage of errors with Modula automatic vertical warehouses
With the installation of the 4 Modulas, around 300 cubic meters of warehouse were saved, unifying the storage of tools in a single area.
The percentage of errors has been reduced by 70% also thanks to the installed Modula WMS software, which allows real-time management of the Modula via an interconnection between the dedicated server and the company management system.
To support the WMS activity, Modula Cloud has also been set up, the control and diagnostic system that allows remote access to technical information on warehouses.
Each Modula is equipped with a two-axis Laser Pointer which signals the material to be moved through the intersection of a red holographic line and a green spot.
