Work Smarter, Not Harder with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems
With an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), workers don’t have to go to the items – items come to them with a few taps on a screen. That’s only the beginning of how our warehouse automation solutions maximize productivity and accuracy. ASRS technology helps reduce walking time, picking errors, misplaced inventory, and unnecessary manual handling while improving inventory control and operational efficiency. As authorized ASRS dealers, Bradford Systems offers only the best technology in the industry, meant to streamline your warehouse space and improve operations.
- Improve inventory management
- Easy software integration
- Increase accuracy
- Control access & security
What are the Benefits of Vertical Storage?
Vertical lifts can free up to 90% of valuable floor space compared to traditional warehouse storage, giving you that much more space to reallocate toward making more revenue.
Each of our vertical lift trays can store up to 2,200 lbs. regardless of the width and depth of the tray. The lift’s transmission also features a steel-reinforced, toothed belt that provides a quiet, safe, and reliable solution to move at quick speeds, even with heavy trays on board.
All VLM picking operations and users are monitored, and logins are tracked down to specific trays, helping operators avoid picking the same goods as another operator in the warehouse. The who, when, and where are all very clear with Modula’s vertical storage units and advanced software, so you never have to worry.
We can integrate our vertical lift systems to work fluidly with any industry’s most common software, including automotive, healthcare, parts manufacturers, and many more WMS, ERP, and DMS databases.
Vertical lift modules (VLMs) are securely enclosed with an automatic door that protects stock from theft, dust exposure, humidity, and other types of damage. On the user safety side, VLMs only allow access through authorized operator permissions and barcode verification, ensuring any user is properly trained in working the system.
Industry studies have shown that vertical storage solutions can increase workforce productivity by up to 85% because one worker is able to handle the same volume of work previously performed by multiple operators.
With bays for picking and placing, vertical lift modules are ergonomic masterpieces, maximizing productivity by reducing operator fatigue and potential for injury. All our equipment is TÜV-GS safety certified, fitted with physical safety barriers, and designed to bring goods to the operator by avoiding stretching, climbing, or bending for materials.
The information in our warehouse management system maintains product inventory control in real-time, so production and re-order levels can be adjusted at any point in the back-end systems, and allows for a full integration with any back-end system already in place.
The modular design of the VLM ensures almost unlimited flexibility. The height can be modified and adjusted to optimize the unit for the ceiling height by adding or removing modules. If you change locations or move to a different site, your Modula VLM can be quickly adapted to the new height requirements.
The Modula Lift can extend over different floors with access openings on the front and rear, allowing operations on multiple levels simultaneously. The units can also be installed outside of buildings to further expand storage space.
Can I customize my vertical lift module configuration?
Yes. Modula Vertical Lift Modules can be customized based on your facility’s ceiling height, tray sizes, load capacities, inventory requirements, access needs, and software integrations. Bradford Systems can help design a configuration that supports your space utilization, productivity, and inventory management goals.
Sterile Supply Vertical Storage
Vertical sterile supply storage helps your organization save valuable floor space & maintain equipment cleanliness. Hospital medical device and pharmaceutical drug manufacturers are always looking at every aspect of cost optimization, from supply chain logistics to manufacturing & maintenance.
Designed to meet all these needs, vertical sterile supply storage eliminates the need to search for items and ensures that the right item is delivered to the right person, whether they’re in surgery, pharmacy, pathology, or any other department across the medical campus.
The Challenge:
Innomed was experiencing issues with warehousing its inventory as it arrived from manufacturing. Instruments were stored and picked from shelving, which was occupying too much floor space. Not only was their storage setup inefficient, but it was unsafe as well, with employees needing to climb ladders to reach stock.
Additionally, storing their instruments is challenging because they vary greatly in size and shape, and sometimes contain odd shapes and curves. They needed a flexible storage solution that could save them space while also being safe and efficient.
The Solution:
A pair of Modula Lift ML50D vertical lift modules was deployed and now stores a wide range of manufactured inventory. In total, the two Modula VLM units provide 1659 cubic feet of storage within a 308 sq ft footprint. Each VLM module stores approximately 2400 medical instruments.
This upgrade has allowed Innomed to recover previously used floor space, while also increasing productivity and creating an ergonomic work environment.
