An automated vertical storage system that rotates inventory carriers up and down within an enclosed tower structure, delivering requested items directly to an ergonomic picking position. This technology maximizes storage density by utilizing vertical space while minimizing the warehouse footprint required for inventory storage.
Vertical carousels significantly improve picking efficiency by eliminating travel time—operators remain stationary while the system brings items to them. They’re particularly valuable for storing small to medium-sized parts with moderate to high pick frequencies, such as electronic components, pharmaceutical supplies, or automotive parts. The enclosed design provides enhanced security and inventory protection while reducing dust accumulation.
These systems integrate seamlessly with warehouse management software to optimize storage locations and picking sequences. By consolidating inventory into a compact vertical footprint, facilities can reduce real estate costs while improving picking accuracy and throughput. The “goods-to-person” approach also reduces worker fatigue and enhances workplace safety.
