These smart, automated storage systems are designed to save space, streamline inventory access, improve safety, and increase productivity. They efficiently handle a wide range of materials, from lightweight components to heavy-duty goods like bar stock. Moreover, they are fully customizable and adaptable to meet the unique storage requirements of any industry.
In this blog, we’ll explore the key features, benefits, and industry-specific use cases of Vidir Vertical Lift Systems—and explain why they’re the preferred choice for modern storage and material handling.
What Are Vidir Vertical Lift Systems?
Vidir Vertical Lift Systems (VLS) are high-density, automated storage solutions that maximize vertical space while providing fast, ergonomic access to stored items. Functioning like a vertical carousel, each system organizes materials on trays or platforms and automatically delivers them to an operator-friendly height when needed.
Available in various sizes and weight capacities, VLS can be customized to meet a wide range of operational requirements. Their flexibility makes them perfect for environments where floor space is limited but safe, frequent access to inventory is essential.
Key Features
Vertical Space Optimization
One of the most significant advantages of Vidir systems is their ability to use overhead space. Instead of expanding outward, these systems build upward—freeing up valuable floor area for other operations.
Automated Retrieval System
With the push of a button, users can quickly and safely retrieve items. Automated tray delivery presents materials at an ergonomic height, eliminating the need for bending, climbing, or lifting.
Custom Tray Configurations
Vidir systems offer flexibility. Tray sizes, weight capacities, and partitioned compartments can be tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re storing sheet metal, pharmaceuticals, electronics, or tires, there’s a configuration that fits.
Enhanced Safety Mechanisms
Each system includes built-in safety features such as emergency stop buttons, safety light curtains, load sensors, and enclosed access points. These features reduce the risk of injury and ensure compliance in demanding environments.
Inventory Management Integration
Many models come equipped with inventory tracking software and can integrate seamlessly with existing WMS or ERP systems. This integration allows for real-time data access, automated restocking alerts, usage analytics, and better audit preparedness.
