Automated vertical and horizontal warehouses

The right step towards automating your warehouse !

“ Modula , a leading company in the field of vertical automated warehouses , ideal for saving time , space , and reducing picking errors , introduces two new products with Lift features but new applications .
The first is Modula Pallet , a groundbreaking automatic vertical solution , revolutionizing the way businesses handle 1200x800 mm pallets . Designed to operate seamlessly without the need for traditional forklifts , this innovative system streamlines warehouse operations and enhances efficiency .
The key feature of Modula Pallet is its ability to handle pallets directly from the ground , eliminating the reliance on forklifts for lifting . The load is smoothly transported on the ground and then efficiently loaded into the lifting section of the storage system . This not only ensures a more straightforward workflow but also relieves operators from the challenges associated with handling materials at heights .
Modula Pallet enables the strategic storage of pallets at elevated positions while ensuring convenient groundlevel delivery . The use of a pallet jack or manual forklift suffices for internal warehouse movements , simplifying the overall logistics process . This makes it the optimal solution for businesses dealing with a moderate number of pallets , ranging from a few tens to a few hundred , aiming to maximize warehouse organization by capitalizing on vertical storage space .
A notable feature of Modula Pallet is its facilitation of piece picking , allowing operators to access individual items directly through the picking window without the need to move the entire pallet . This represents a significant innovation , enhancing speed , precision , and ergonomic considerations in the picking process .

The key feature of Modula Pallet is its ability to handle pallets directly from the ground , eliminating the reliance on forklifts for lifting .
In the ever-evolving landscape of warehouse automation , the new Modula Next emerges as a gamechanger , not just as a conventional lift system , but as a versatile vending machine catering to diverse industry needs .
Modula Next operates like a Lift but thinks like a vending machine . Thanks to a system of movable windows , managed by dedicated software , only the compartment where the operation needs to be performed becomes available to the picking operator .
This has two advantages :
1 . the operator cannot make a mistake in retrieval even among similar items ,
2 . every movement is tracked , you know exactly who took what and when , with no margin for error .
One innovative application of Modula
Next is its capability to function as a vending machine , facilitating the one-to-one distribution of personal protective equipment or personal effects . This feature makes it an invaluable asset for companies keen on optimizing the management of individualized items .
Consider the scenario of companies supplying parts or components to other businesses . By strategically placing a fully stocked Modula Next unit at the client ’ s facility , the client can efficiently retrieve spare parts or components only when necessary and in the required quantities . This approach brings numerous advantages , including the elimination of time wasted on excess inventory , meticulous inventory control , and the ability to trace every withdrawal . Most notably , for the supplying company , it becomes a guarantee that the client exclusively purchases its products , eliminating the need to explore alternatives from competitors .
This utilization of Modula Next represents a paradigm shift in inventory management , providing businesses with a level of precision and efficiency that was previously hard to achieve .
As industries continue to seek innovative solutions for their logistical challenges , Modula stands out as a reliable and adaptable tool , reshaping the way companies approach inventory distribution and ensuring a seamless and streamlined process for clients and suppliers alike .
