KenWei Selective Vertical Lift Modules (Shelf Carousels)
Automated Storage & Intelligent Retrieval System
KenWei Selective Vertical Lift Modules (Shelf Carousels) provide extremely fast automated storage (AS) and retrieval (RS) capabilities. These systems are ideal for facilities where maximizing vertical space on a minimal footprint is critical. By utilizing the goods-to-person principle, our systems significantly reduce travel time, lower error rates, and improve overall energy efficiency. Our solutions typically integrate with your existing Warehouse Management System (WMS) and ERP platforms for streamlined administration.
Key Advantages
- Maximize Density: Dramatically increase storage capacity per square meter.
- Operational Efficiency: Complete retrieval tasks with minimal labor and cost.
- Picking Accuracy: Highest possible accuracy for error-free fulfillment.
- Scalability: Modular design allows for easy future capacity expansion.
- Smart Interface: Windows-based, user-friendly software for easy operation.
What Is a Selective Vertical Lift Module (Shelf Carousel)?
The Selective VLM is a high-density storage solution that divides space into horizontal units. Bins are secured on custom supports, allowing the system to perform complex vertical and horizontal movements to retrieve items automatically. As your operation grows, this Automated Shelving Carousel can be integrated into larger workflows involving AGVs or robots to achieve a fully unmanned logistics environment.
Shelf Positioning, Picking & Transferring System
Our intelligent system utilizes a modular design to support multi-row or multi-layer storage. The enclosed design maintains environmental consistency (temperature and humidity control), making it ideal for electronics or specialized spare parts. We offer three primary operational modes: docking with conveyor lines/AGVs, conveyor integration, or standalone online operation. This flexibility makes KenWei a leader in modern factory automation.
