Better Control of Inventory

Kardex VLM The Vertical Lift Module Kardex Shuttle from Kardex Remstar can help warehouses get better control of their inventory and increase picking efficiencies in these unpredictable times.

The Kardex Shuttle is a Vertical Lift Module (VLM) that stores two columns of trays vertically on the front and rear of the machine. An extractor located in the middle of the VLM automatically moves trays to the access opening. Optiflex technology automatically measures the height of the stored goods on each tray and assigns them to an ideal storage location.

With its modular design, the VLM Kardex Shuttle can be adapted at any time as product volumes and sizes change. It ensures a small footprint with space savings of up to 85% and dynamic storage space allocation. Ideal for storing articles with various sizes and weights or when the inventory mix changes frequently, each Kardex Shuttle can be used as a stand-alone unit or connected to a networked system.

APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:

Order Picking: Can be combined and arranged into a pod or workstation for order fulfillment
Semi-Finished Products: Efficiently stores and accurately retrieves
Spare Parts: Well suited to store, supplying the manufacturing production line as needed
Tool Storage: Consolidates multiple tool storage cabinets into one unit

The VLM Kardex Shuttles optimize order fulfillment to include picking, replenishing and returns handling. The system outperforms traditional shelving systems and enables accurate picking and high throughput rates, while also managing fluctuating demand; and it can work as a fully automated system by integrating robotics.
