Nomenclature Guide to Automated Vertical
Storage Systems

• Check out this glossary of words if you work with
  an automated storage system, vertical lift
  module, or vertical carousel in your factory,
  warehouse, or distribution centre and aren't
  familiar with the many components of vertical
  storage systems.
• Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS)
• Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) is
  a set of software-controlled systems for
  autonomously arranging and retrieving
  inventories.
• Carrier
• The unique storage compartment of a system. When
  a tray or a shelf isn't available, it's
  sometimes used instead.
• Clear Height
• The amount of space in a building's ceiling that
  is unobstructed/unblocked by pipes and
  equipment, lighting fixtures or any other
  objects.
• Cube

2

• The amount of storage space available from a
  three-dimensional standpoint that is,
  considering a facility's accessible cubic space
  rather than just its square area.
• Ergonomics
• Ergonomics refers to the process of bringing all
  parts to the "golden zone" (the area between the
  shoulders and the waist) for picking in vertical
  storage systems. Employees who utilise the
  automated vertical storage system on a daily
  basis will encounter rarer workplace injuries
  with higher job satisfaction because of improved
  ergonomics. Vertical storage systems and vertical
  carousels keep supplies at worktable height,
  removing the need for users to bend over, reach
  for a high shelf, or climb ladders to get what
  they need.
• Hanel
• Hanel is a vertical storage system manufacturer
  based in Europe. Two types are available the
  Hanel Rotomat and the Hanel Lean Lift.
• Heavy-Duty Use
• Medium and heavy-duty operations are those that
  need more than one shift over a five-day
  workweek. If you're working three shifts seven
  days a week, you should acquire new equipment
  rather than used ones. When it comes to reducing
  the risk of failures and downtime, buying new
  equipment is generally the best option. Buying
  used equipment and materials makes more sense if
  you're operating on a light or medium-duty
  schedule.
• Kardex
• Kardex Remstar is a European vertical storage
  system manufacturer. There are two models
  available the Kardex Remstar Shuttle and the
  Kardex Remstar Megamat.
• Max Load

• Shelf
• A shelf is an individual storage location in a
  system. When a tray or a carrier isn't available,
  it's sometimes used instead.
• Tray
• The unique storage space of a system. Used in
  place of a carrier or a shelf occasionally. A
  vertical carousel is a vertical storage device
  with a fixed shelf height. Take a look at a
  miniature enclosed Ferris wheel.
• Vertical Lift Module (VLM)
• An automated storage system with changeable shelf
  heights works in the same way as a tall storage
  facility with an elevator in the middle of two
  storage zones.
• Vertical Lift Sequencer (VLS)
• A vertical lift sequencer (VLS) can provide the
  speed, efficiency, and precision required for
  activities with a large number of items or parts
  SKUs. In warehouses and distribution centres,
  VLS units serve as a buffer between production
  and order fulfilment. The VLS uses buffer
  sequencers to automatically segregate fast-moving
  SKUs from packages intended for palletizing
  stations, providing for the most efficient
  split-case picking.
• Vertical Storage System
• Automated storage systems that take advantage of
  the cube having included a vertical lift module
  and a vertical carousel.

• a warehouse management system (WMS). The WMS is
  in charge of picking and storage, as well as
  shipping and receiving.
• Warranty
• All new material handling equipment comes with a
  manufacturer's guarantee, which is serviced by
  factory-trained technicians. Outsource Equipment
  Company also offers an extended warranty on
  select pre-owned material handling equipment
  (some restrictions apply).
