Services
Vertical Lift Modules
Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) optimize vertical warehouse space by storing two columns of configurable trays accessed via automated retrieval systems. These systems enhance inventory control through laser-guided accuracy and password-protected access while improving ergonomics by delivering items directly to operators. Ideal for facilities with ceiling heights up to 70 feet, VLMs reduce floor space usage by 40-150% compared to traditional shelving.
Horizontal Carousels
Horizontal carousels increase picking productivity by bringing goods directly to workers, reducing travel time by 70% while saving 60% of floor space. These systems excel in batch picking applications, supporting kitting and weigh-scale operations with pick-to-light technology. Automated rotation minimizes manual handling, making them ideal for high-volume small-parts distribution in manufacturing and logistics.
Order Consolidation
Our order consolidation solutions use put/pull-to-light technology to streamline multi-zone picking operations. By accumulating partial orders in designated lanes and verifying completeness before shipping, these systems reduce freight costs through carton right-sizing and improve QA accuracy. Integration with WMS platforms ensures real-time inventory tracking and optimized outbound logistics.
Warehouse Software
IIS-EDGE software provides seamless integration between warehouse control systems, ERP platforms, and material handling equipment. Features include directed picking, inventory tracking, and conveyor control automation. The system supports paperless operations through RF scanners and pick-to-light interfaces, enhancing data accuracy while reducing operational delays.
Pre-Owned Equipment
We offer cost-effective pre-owned vertical storage systems, carousels, and conveyor equipment that undergo rigorous testing and restoration. These solutions provide 70-80% cost savings over new installations while maintaining operational reliability. Refurbished systems include warranty coverage and retrofit options for legacy control upgrades.
