What is a VLM?

A Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is a robotic automated storage and retrieval system designed to optimize vertical storage space. It consists of a series of vertically arranged trays or shelves that can be accessed by an automated lift mechanism. The lift retrieves the requested items and delivers them to an ergonomic picking station, improving efficiency and reducing human error.

In the world of VLMs, several top-notch brands have established themselves as industry leaders. White Systems, Modula, Hanel, and Vidir are renowned manufacturers known for their cutting-edge VLM solutions. Each brand offers unique features and benefits, catering to different storage requirements and industries. The Checkpoint Group has arranged strategic partnerships with these manufacturers to provide businesses with a wide range of options and ensure the most suitable VLM solution for their needs.
