One of the biggest complaints about warehouse space is that a lot of it goes unusued. It’s just inefficient to have multiple stories in a building and not be able to effectively use that space without having stuff fall on people’s heads. A second complaint is that there is not fast and easy way to move things around in a warehouse, or is there? Warehouse automation solutions in California are changing both of these issues into something better.
The Vertical Lift Storage Unit
One of the most ingenious solutions for storing thousands of items in the smallest area of space is the “VLS”, or vertical lift storage. This automated tower has dozens of built in rocker shelfs, each with customizable drawers. Store things as small as thumb tacks and as large as vehicle engines. Its automation presents as a control box that circulates the shelves down, back, up and around again.
Keep the list of shelf numbers and what is stored on each. Then everyone working in the warehouse just has to press the button to get to the shelf for the items they need.
Carousel Systems
Stuff that is difficult to move around the warehouse can be moved faster than ever. Carousel systems are massive, automated conveyors that move anything to any area of the warehouse. Where each of these carousels stops, employees pick and pull items to place on shelves.
