Modula Case Studies in Manufacturing Industry
Ford Motor, Almussafes, Spain
With three VLMs equipped with robotic arms, Ford Motor optimizes its manufacturing, allowing the factory to run on a six-day-a-week cycle and produce 17,250 engines per week.
SMI, United States
U.S.-based aerospace components manufacturer SMI saved over 4,000 sq. ft. of space and boosted efficiency with Modula VLMs.
Vision Extrusions, Ontario
Vision Extrusions installed nine Modula VLMs, saving over 30,000 square feet of floor space. With each tray holding up to 1,200 pounds, items such as aluminum blocks, vacuums, calibrators etc.
Inim Eelctronics, Marche, Italy
See how six Modula units efficiently stored over 70,000 packages accross 1,000 unique items, resulting in a remarkable 65% reduction in floor space previously occupied by conventional racking systems.
Eutron, Bergamo, Italy
Eutron significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced time spent searching for materials by integrating Modula vertical lift modules into their storage process.

See how Modula VLMs and WMS have enabled Vega Americas to store up to 3,040 ft³ (86 m³) of inventory within a compact footprint of 664 sq. ft.
Warehouse Efficiency in Manufacturing Industry:Manual vs. Automated Warehouses
Highlighting the main differences across labor, speed, cost and beyond.
Uses up a lot of space inefficiently, leading to wasted floor area.
Maximizes space efficiency, saving up to 90% of floor area.
Man-to-goods: Labor-intensive picking and handling. Operators complete about 60–80 picks/hour.
Goods-to-man: Up to 85% productivity. One operator equals 3–4 manual pickers with 250–350 picks/hour.
Manual picking is prone to errors, mispicks and inaccurate data.
Up to 99% picking accuracy with visual aids and real-time traceability of inventory.
Requires climbing, bending, and lifting;higher risk of injury and fatigue.
Items are delivered at ergonomic height, ensuring safer and more comfortable operations.
Inventory tracked manually, with limited visibility and no restricted access.
Automated tracking and controlled access for full visibility.
Limited storage flexibility; not ideal for fragile, bulky, or high-value items.
Secure, flexible storage for bulk, fragile, high-value, sensitive items.
