Modula Next
Modula Next is an innovative automated storage and retrieval solution, that combines the space-saving and efficiency of Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) with all the precision and control of industrial vending machines.
When an item is requested, the unit retrieves the specific tray where the item is stored and brings it to the picking bay at an ergonomic height. Unlike conventional Vertical Lift Modules, Modula Next’s shuttering door system only opens the compartment containing the requested item. This ensures unmatched precision in picking and replenishment operations.

Modula Next – How Does It Work?
The Right Part to the Right Person.
Modula Next operates on a goods-to-person principle.
When an item is requested, the unit retrieves the specific tray where the item is stored and brings it to the picking bay at an ergonomic height.
Unlike conventional Vertical Lift Modules, Modula Next’s shuttering door system opens only the compartment containing the requested item. The targeted access mechanism ensures that operators can only access the designated item.
This is especially crucial when managing costly or sensitive materials, or in applications where picking accuracy is paramount.
