Automated Vertical Storage Solution Problem

Problem

The company was facing several operational challenges with its traditional storage systems:

  1. Limited Storage Space
    • Conventional shelving systems were occupying large floor areas while providing limited storage capacity.
  2. Inefficient Material Retrieval
    • Manual storage required operators to move across the warehouse to locate items, increasing time and reducing productivity.
  3. Inventory Management Challenges
    • Handling high-value and precision components demanded better control, traceability, and organized storage.
  4. Increasing Material Volume
    • As production scaled, the existing storage system could not efficiently accommodate the growing inventory.

The Solution

To overcome these challenges, the company implemented VStore Vertical Lift Storage Systems within their manufacturing division.Over time, due to the system’s performance and reliability, the customer expanded the installation to four VStore units.

System Configuration

System Configuration

  • Total Machines Installed : 4 VStores
  • Machine Heights:
    • 2 Units - 7 meters
    • 2 Units - 10 meters
  • Machine Width : 3040 x 865 mm
  • Tray Capacity : 500 kg per tray
  • Number of Trays : Up to 74 trays in the 10-meter systems
  • First Installation : 2022

The VStore systems operate on the Goods-to-Person principle, automatically delivering trays containing required materials directly to the operator.

This significantly improved material handling efficiency while optimizing vertical warehouse space.

Benefits

  • 60% Space Savings
    • By utilizing vertical storage height, the company reduced storage footprint by more than 60% compared to traditional shelving systems.
  • High-Density Storage
    • The system enabled storage of approximately 36 tonnes of material within just a 10 square meter footprint, maximizing warehouse utilization.
  • Improved Operational Efficiency
    • The Goods-to-Person concept eliminated unnecessary operator movement, resulting in faster material retrieval and improved productivity.
  • Better Inventory Control
    • The automated storage system provided better organization, visibility, and control over high-value components and materials.
  • Proven Reliability & Scalability
    • Due to high uptime, reliability, and service support, the customer expanded from one VStore unit to four systems, demonstrating strong confidence in the solution.
