Nomenclature Guide to Automated Vertical Storage Systems

1. Nomenclature Guide to Automated Vertical Storage Systems Check out this glossary of words if you work with an automated storage system, vertical lift module, or vertical carousel in your factory, warehouse, or distribution centre and aren't familiar with the many components of vertical storage systems. •Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) is a set of software-controlled systems for autonomously arranging and retrieving inventories. •Carrier The unique storage compartment of a system. When a tray or a shelf isn't available, it's sometimes used instead. •Clear Height The amount of space in a building's ceiling that is unobstructed/unblocked by pipes and equipment, lighting fixtures or any other objects. •Cube

2. The amount of storage space available from a three-dimensional standpoint; that is, considering a facility's accessible cubic space rather than just its square area. •Ergonomics Ergonomics refers to the process of bringing all parts to the "golden zone" (the area between the shoulders and the waist) for picking in vertical storage systems. Employees who utilise the automated vertical storage system on a daily basis will encounter rarer workplace injuries with higher job satisfaction because of improved ergonomics. Vertical storage systems and vertical carousels keep supplies at worktable height, removing the need for users to bend over, reach for a high shelf, or climb ladders to get what they need. •Hanel Hanel is a vertical storage system manufacturer based in Europe. Two types are available: the Hanel Rotomat and the Hanel Lean Lift. •Heavy-Duty Use Medium and heavy-duty operations are those that need more than one shift over a five-day workweek. If you're working three shifts seven days a week, you should acquire new equipment rather than used ones. When it comes to reducing the risk of failures and downtime, buying new equipment is generally the best option. Buying used equipment and materials makes more sense if you're operating on a light or medium-duty schedule. •Kardex Kardex Remstar is a European vertical storage system manufacturer. There are two models available: the Kardex Remstar Shuttle and the Kardex Remstar Megamat. •Max Load The maximum load capacity of a carrier or machine, or the biggest overall inventory weight. •Modula Modula is a vertical storage system manufacturer based in the United States and Europe. Two variants are available: the Modula Lift and the Modula Sintes1. •Remstar For Remstar, kindly refer to Kardex.

3. •Shelf A shelf is an individual storage location in a system. When a tray or a carrier isn't available, it's sometimes used instead. •Tray The unique storage space of a system. Used in place of a carrier or a shelf occasionally. A vertical carousel is a vertical storage device with a fixed shelf height. Take a look at a miniature enclosed Ferris wheel. •Vertical Lift Module (VLM) An automated storage system with changeable shelf heights works in the same way as a tall storage facility with an elevator in the middle of two storage zones. •Vertical Lift Sequencer (VLS) A vertical lift sequencer (VLS) can provide the speed, efficiency, and precision required for activities with a large number of items or parts SKUs. In warehouses and distribution centres, VLS units serve as a buffer between production and order fulfilment. The VLS uses buffer sequencers to automatically segregate fast-moving SKUs from packages intended for palletizing stations, providing for the most efficient split-case picking. •Vertical Storage System Automated storage systems that take advantage of the cube having included a vertical lift module and a vertical carousel. •Warehouse Control System (WCS) In order to properly direct and supervise automated material handling and operations within the warehouse, a warehouse control system (WCS) receives real-time data from material handling equipment and devices, as well as warehouse management system (WMS) software. WCS handles the automation equipment in warehouses and distribution centres by integrating with WMS/ERP systems. The software is designed to connect the client's WMS/ERP system to the equipment. •WMS (Warehouse Management System) A WMS (Warehouse Management System) is a piece of software that helps you manage your warehouse. The transportation and storage of commodities within a warehouse is controlled by

4. a warehouse management system (WMS). The WMS is in charge of picking and storage, as well as shipping and receiving. •Warranty All new material handling equipment comes with a manufacturer's guarantee, which is serviced by factory-trained technicians. Outsource Equipment Company also offers an extended warranty on select pre-owned material handling equipment (some restrictions apply).
