VSTORE Vertical storage system

A Vertical Storage System (VSTORE) is an advanced, space-efficient solution designed for the effective storage and retrieval of items by leveraging vertical space instead of horizontal floor area. These systems are especially advantageous in settings with constrained space or where rapid inventory turnover necessitates swift and precise access to stored products. Typically, VSTORE comprises automated or semi-automated devices such as vertical carousels or vertical lift modules (VLMs). In vertical carousels, trays rotate in a circular motion akin to a Ferris wheel, whereas VLMs consist of two columns of trays with a central elevator or extractor that ascends and descends to retrieve and deliver items. These systems are frequently integrated with computerised inventory management software, facilitating accurate tracking, expedited picking times, and enhanced organisation. VSTORE improves workplace ergonomics by presenting items at a convenient retrieval height, thus alleviating employee strain and boosting efficiency. They find extensive application across various sectors, including warehousing, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail. By optimising vertical storage and automating retrieval operations, VSTORE contributes to reducing storage footprints, minimising retrieval inaccuracies, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. This positions them as a significant investment for businesses seeking to refine their inventory systems and maximise their available storage capacity.

A.T.E. offers Craftsman VSTORE, a range of customisation options for pre-installation or post-installation. The system can be resized, relocated, and modified to adapt to evolving business, facility, and application needs. The automatic/semi-automatic tray extraction mechanism of this VSTORE features a robust mechanical structure at the access opening of the system. This device is engineered to enhance the handling of heavy and bulky items. The dual tray exchange functionality reduces retrieval time, and customisable dividers and partitions are provided for these trays. This allows for each tray to be specifically designed with partitions, dividers, totes, bins, and containers to meet storage needs, thereby ensuring the most efficient use of every millimetre of storage space. These heavy-duty trays can support loads of up to 1000kg, setting new benchmarks for loading capacity. Furthermore, this VSTORE can be installed externally and skillfully integrated into walls, thereby enhancing productivity and conserving floor space.
