Perhaps one of the leading issues facing the modern warehouse is space utilization. The price of real estate and the increasing need for productivity means companies are now allocating resources to vertical lift modules, which enhance vertical flow for enhanced use of space. Our team at Material Flow Technologies are leaders in the design of vertical lift modules and in this latest post we’ll explain more about these systems and their benefits in the modern warehouse space.
Limit labor costs
Labor costs continue to rise for companies across the warehousing industry. And it’s an area of focus for many companies are they look to minimize their expenditures. Vertical lift modules help to significantly lower labor costs by replacing a paid team member with an automated lifting solution. The lift product takes the role of the picker within the warehouse and automates the lifting of the product to a specific area within the facility.
Improve inventory control
Managing inventory is an increasingly complex task within the warehouse space. Products are being shipped to and from locations across the globe at record pace, and inventory teams are now facing a race against time to ensure that all data is inputted into the system accurately. Failure to accurately manage data can cause significant backlogs for a growing warehousing firm, costing them time and money. Working with vertical lift modules helps automate inventory management, ensuring a product is immediately scanned and inventoried when it enters/leaves the facility, improving accuracy and streamlining the delivery to the customer.
Enhance worker safety
Ergonomics play a key role within the modern workplace, particularly within warehouses where teams are often tasked with lifting heavy items. The latest vertical lift modules help place products at the ideal height for warehouse teams to eliminate the bending and reaching that may cause long-standing injuries. The delivery height to the lift module is automatically adjusted according to the size of the product and to the placement of the different types of operator.
Vertical lift modules are now streamlining the modern warehouse operations and helping improve productivity for growing companies. To discover more about these latest systems and the value they can bring to your business, contact our team at Material Flow Technologies today.
