Lewiston (ME) January 2016
Modula to showcase the most advanced picking system in the Vertical Lift
Module (VLM) market at MODEX Show 2016
Modula, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of automated storage and retrieval systems
will present the most advanced picking system in the Vertical Lift Module (VLM) market at the
MODEX Show 2016 (Booth # 3247), held April 4-7, 2016 in the Georgia World Congress
Center in Atlanta, GA.
MODEX visitors will have the opportunity to discover up close this advanced picking feature
which combines Modula’s industry exclusive external dual delivery picking bay with Modula`s
leading edge laser pointer, the latest visual laser light guidance technology.
These two picking technology` innovations - external dual delivery picking bay with laser
pointer, were launched to take standard VLM picking to the next level. The result ensures
increased productivity by up to 35% and improved accuracy up to 100%. The VLM operator
can pick products from one tray while the VLM simultaneously retrieves the next required tray.
This dramatically reduces the operator’s idle time. In addition, Modula`s dual red and green
laser pointer is the only one in the industry to be set up outside of the VLM while maintaining
precise mapping of the SKU across the entire tray area.
“Unlike other VLM technologies that only offer units with internal bay and single delivery levels
and simple red dot light generated pointers, Modula’s laser solution pinpoints the desired items
by mapping it on an X, Y axis with the combination of a red line and a green dot” – explains
Paul Roy, Modula`s Vice President of Sales. “The result is a much faster location identification
resulting in an increase in picking rates and higher productivity for operators between tray
deliveries.
In September 2015, Modula has also officially inaugurated its state-of-the-art factory in
Lewiston, Maine. Since August 2015, Modula’s full line of products is Proudly Made in the USA
from US & Imported Components. This is a strategic move, as the company is the only one to
offer the full range of products with the fastest deliveries in the market. Unlike competitors who
can only expedite the machines they have in stock, the company can supply the exact unit
required for its clients` operation with the entire range of sizes and models.
