As stated above, using a vertical lift module reduces the number of steps an employee needs to take because the device brings the product directly to them increasing efficiency. When using a VLM, time is not wasted searching for the product. The machine knows where items are located and brings the employee exactly what they need. This also reduces human error since the VLM is programmed with what products are where.

Safety is another benefit of using a VLM. Walking around to find a product sounds like a mundane task. However, in a warehouse, walking around can be hazardous. There could be a forklift moving through the warehouse that doesn’t see you while you are walking. An employee could also trip and hurt themselves while walking around the facility.

A VLM eliminates those risks. Trying to climb a storage system to look for products can also be dangerous. A VLM takes away that concern because it brings the product to you. Reducing these risks creates a safer working environment for your employees.

Products are secure inside the VRM and when it is delivered up to an employee, you can see it and know who called for the product.

These machines allow a business to save floor space by storing the product vertically.

They can be loaded with your product, and the movement of that product is tracked. It makes inventory counts extremely accurate.

Many of the benefits mentioned here add up to one thing– these machines save a business time. There is less time spent on inventory counts, tracking product, searching for a product, and other tasks. All of this means less labor you have to pay for.
