the full ceiling height of your facility thereby maximising the storage potential. Items are stored in systems up to 14.1 m high in a safe, secure environment and automatically delivered to the operator, avoiding unnecessary walking, bending and stretching. Modula offers one of the most advanced picking system in the VLM market.
PICK TO LIGHT SYSTEMS It is possible to combine Modula’s industry exclusive, external dual delivery picking bay with any one of Modula`s pick to light systems; for example our laser pointer system pinpoints the SKU by mapping it on an X,Y axis.
