New Viper VLM Tray Height Scanning System and Tray Design Can Provide Over 50% More Logistics  Parts and Items Storage Density While Lowering Cost

Hatfield, PA -  February 7, 2012 - The new Viper Vertical Lift Module (VLM) automatic tray height scanning system and tray
 
Viper VLM Automatic Tray Height design can provide more than 50% more storage density while allowing logistics organizations to lower their unit acquisition cost.

The new Viper Vertical Lift Module automatic tray height scanning system determines each trays exact storage height requirement down to a one inch increment automatically every time a tray is retrieved. The VLMs control system determines the optimum storage position in the unit based on optimizing space and retrieval time.

The new tray design uses a number of enhancements to provide increased levels of storage capacity. The Viper VLM tray now uses thinner side walls, flat bottoms and no dividers or support cross members in the open storage area. Likewise, the trays are available in two, three and four meter widths at very economical levels.

The flat bottom design eliminates the need for tray liners which increase costs and take space. The thinner side walls provide more storage space. Unlike many other VLMs, the new Viper VLM trays up to four meters wide provide a clear and unobstructed storage space. By eliminating reinforcement cross members in the storage area of the tray logistics users are able to receive increased storage capacity and far easier storage management.

The Viper VLMs rack constructed design allows trays to be economical at not only a standard two and three meter widths, but at an extra wide four meter width. The extra wide tray widths also provides more logistics parts available for picking on each tray which increases productivity while reducing labor costs.
