Warehouses today face a growing list of pressures — higher order volumes, faster delivery expectations, SKU proliferation, and rising labor costs. For many operations, simply adding more shelving or hiring more workers isn’t enough to stay competitive. That’s why more facilities are turning to automated lift systems, a modern storage technology designed to reduce labor, […]

Every warehouse starts the same way — a few rows of shelving, some labeled bins, and a handful of operators who know where everything lives. But as orders grow and space runs out, the cracks begin to show. That’s when warehouse inventory management shifts from a manual routine to a strategic system that determines accuracy,

When warehouse managers begin pricing a new pallet rack system, the first question is always the same: What does it actually cost? The truth is, there’s no single answer. The cost of warehouse racking can vary dramatically depending on materials, configuration, labor, and even local building codes. Whether you’re expanding capacity or outfitting a brand-new

Designing a high-performance warehouse isn’t about stacking as many racks as possible—it’s about creating a flow that supports people, products, and automation. When you treat warehouse pallet racks and automated storage systems as one integrated ecosystem, you can shorten travel paths, increase accuracy, and scale efficiently without tearing up your floor later. Why Layout Planning

There comes a point in every warehouse when the storage that once fueled growth starts slowing it down. The racks still stand, but the layout feels cramped, operators zigzag through aisles, and the maintenance crew is spending more time on repairs than routine checks. It’s not that the system failed overnight—it’s that it slowly stopped

Decision-makers comparing warehouse automation often come down to two dominant technologies: Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) and Vertical Carousels (VCs). Both reclaim valuable floor space, improve picking efficiency, and increase accuracy—but they excel in different ways. This guide explores how each system works, what they cost (new and used), efficiency comparisons, industry-specific use cases, and how

Walk into ten different warehouses and ask what they call their automated storage system, and you’ll probably get ten different answers. Some will say “vertical stacker.” Others might say “shuttle,” “storage tower,” or simply “carousel.” And yet, most of them are describing the same two types of machines: the Vertical Lift Module (VLM) or the

In today’s fast-moving supply chain, warehouse organization isn’t just about stacking boxes neatly. The way you organize your space determines how efficiently products flow, how accurate your order fulfillment is, and ultimately how satisfied your customers are. Poor organization leads to wasted time, costly errors, and underutilized space. The right strategy, on the other hand,

Warehousing is facing an inflection point. The surge of e-commerce, labor shortages, and rising real estate costs mean facilities can no longer rely solely on traditional pallet racking. While selective and drive-in racks are still widely used, companies under pressure to deliver faster, more accurate, and more cost-effective order fulfillment are turning to smarter solutions.

In today’s fast-paced warehouse and distribution environments, storage is no longer just about shelving products in the available space. Companies are under constant pressure to ship faster, reduce costs, and make better use of every square foot. That’s where Modula storage systems stand out as a modern solution for space and efficiency challenges. Unlike traditional
