Intelligent vertical carousel

System that circulates trays internally. More efficient for repetitive high-turnover SKUs where sequential access is adequate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about vertical storage

When is a VLM better and when is a vertical carousel better for my warehouse?

The VLM is best when you have high SKU variety and need random access: each cycle you can retrieve any tray independently. The carousel is more efficient for high-turnover SKUs with sequential access. For pharma, spare parts and e-commerce with many different SKUs, the VLM is generally the best option.

How much floor space do I save with a VLM in my warehouse?

Typically between 70% and 90% compared to conventional shelving. A 10-meter VLM occupies 5-8 m² of floor area and stores the equivalent of 30-50 m² of conventional shelving. In buildings with free height, storage density per floor m² multiplies between 4 and 8 times.

How does the VLM integrate with my existing ERP or WMS?

Via standard RESTful APIs or DELIE's WMS interface. If you already have a third-party WMS (SAP EWM, Manhattan, etc.), the VLM can operate as a slave subsystem that receives extraction orders. If you don't have a WMS, DELIE's module manages warehouse inventory autonomously with ERP integration.

Can the VLM or vertical carousel operate in temperature-controlled environments?

The vertical carousel operates between -5°C and +40°C, compatible with positive cold rooms. The VLM has versions for environments between 2°C and 25°C, ideal for pharma and refrigerated products. For negative cold (frozen storage), DELIE's specialized AS/RS stacker cranes are recommended.
