Unlike traditional shelving systems, a vertical automated storage system significantly reduces floor space requirements, operational times and picking errors, making it particularly effective in environments characterised by high operational complexity. Modulblok designs vertical automated storage systems by combining warehouse layout engineering expertise with advanced automation technologies, in collaboration with Vertilog, a specialist partner in multi-module vertical storage solutions. Vertical automated storage systems are designed to maximise the use of available height, transforming otherwise unused building volume into high-density storage capacity.
From a technical perspective, a vertical automated storage system can achieve:
01_ heights of up to 14 metres
02_load capacities of up to 45,000 kg per module
These performance characteristics make vertical automated storage systems suitable not only for small parts storage, but also for components, tools and semi-finished products with significant weight requirements. The integration of structure, automation and software enables large quantities of materials to be concentrated within a minimal footprint, with a direct impact on overall warehouse performance.
01
Vertical automated storage systems are particularly suited to applications where storage capacity must be increased by making better use of available height while reducing floor space requirements. The compact configuration of the system enables a large number of SKUs to be concentrated within a limited footprint, improving both organisation and accessibility of stored items.
02
Vertical automated storage technology supports frequent, high-accuracy picking operations through goods-to-person workflows. The system automatically delivers the tray to the operator, reducing search times, picking errors and unnecessary manual handling activities.
03
Vertical automated storage systems are particularly effective in environments characterised by a high number of item codes, traceability requirements and the need for continuous inventory control. Integration with WMS and ERP platforms enables real-time monitoring of storage locations, missions and inventory levels, improving reliability and continuity across logistics processes.
Vertical automated storage solutions automate the storage and picking of components, bins and high-turnover materials, optimising space utilisation, accessibility and inventory control. System configurations, heights and operating logic can be tailored to the requirements of manufacturing, spare parts management, maintenance, distribution and e-commerce operations.
A selection of projects developed to optimise storage, picking operations and automated inventory management across a variety of industrial and logistics environments. Solutions engineered to combine storage density, operational speed and digital flow control within manufacturing and distribution processes.
Warehouse Engineering is Modulblok’s editorial platform dedicated to the industrial culture of modern intralogistics. Created to analyse and interpret the transformations shaping today’s warehouse systems, it offers a space for insight, knowledge sharing and industry perspectives. Through technical articles, market analysis and expert contributions, the magazine explores the technologies, operating models and engineering expertise that are redefining the role of logistics across industrial and distribution environments. Its objective is to provide a structured perspective on the sector, connecting technological innovation with storage system design and engineering to better understand the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the future of warehousing and intralogistics.
