Vertical Storage Applications

Lean Manufacturing / Point of Use

The lean manufacturing concept focuses on removing waste from every aspect of doing business. Lean principles are commonly applied throughout the manufacturing process, and are expanding into the distribution side. SPSS Vertical Lift Module storage addresses numerous lean manufacturing concerns.

• Efficient use of labor – components or parts are picked and moved into position while the operators stay a step ahead.
• Eliminates extra motions – components are delivered to the operator at an ergonomically optimal work position, eliminating unnecessary walking, reaching and bending.
• Parts are always ready – automated systems allow parts to be ready for the operator, when the operator is ready. Time wasted on these delays is eliminated.
• Improved processes and flexibility – adaptations are made easily with automated storage, and products can be stored efficiently and cost effectively.
• Optimized product quality – automated storage systems decrease picking errors and reduce assembly errors. Stored material stays clean and safe from damage.
