Picking speed and saved floor space: the main advantages of the Modula vertical automated warehouses

Alpi needed to improve the set-up of its warehouse used to store gaskets prior to sale. The design had to consider the need to save space within the warehouse.

Alpi decided that the best way to achieve its objectives was to install two Modula storage systems. The use of space was maximized by taking advantage of the height of the building. A tangible benefit seen by Alpi was the improved picking speed: no dead-time since the operator and machinery work together at the same time; intuitive software Modula WMS simplifies picking operations; goods are transferred directly to the operator.
