Modula 1.9 - Slim
All the advantages of a vertical lift module in a vertical carousel footprint
Modula Slim is the smart choice for anyone looking for a vertical storage solution with broad functionality.
You can store all types of materials and goods in your Modula Slim: loose materials, containers (boxes, plastic bins, packaging, cardboard boxes, crates), small items, spare parts, coils, and flasks.
The best of lift technology packed into:
-
3 m² of floor space;
-
1.6 m of depth.
What can Modula Slim do for you?
-
Maximizes limited space by effectively using storage density.
-
Reduces picking time.
-
Makes materials accessible to all operators quickly and ergonomically.
-
Keeps inventory levels and all warehouse items under control.
-
Easily integrates into your company processes by connecting with all ERP systems.
-
Tracks picking and shipping operations, identifying who did what and monitoring every access.
-
Eliminates picking and replenishment errors by assisting the operator during the process.
Use all the space inside your Modula SLIM without restrictions or constraints.
-
Total payload up to 25,000 kg with a height of 7 meters and a depth of no more than 1.6 m.
-
You can use all available space in your vertical warehouse thanks to dynamic shelf storage height: there are no fixed heights, as Modula Slim calculates the best place to position shelves and eliminates any empty space between them.
-
Due to lift technology and how the lift moves, there are no issues with unbalanced loads, unlike carousel systems.
-
Low energy consumption: less than 1.2 kWh (less than an oven or a hairdryer).
-
You can choose between three-phase (400 V) or single-phase (230 V) power supply for the warehouse.
-
Maintenance is limited: the V-shaped toothed belt transmission system is very quiet, requires no lubrication, and its self-centering pulley system ensures ease of installation and adjustment.
-
You can add all options from the Modula range, such as visual aids, the "Put to light" system, access control systems, partitions, dividers, and slotted shelf walls for separation.

Modula is a visionary company, with the digitalization of processes as one of its core strengths. Over the years, it has opted for 100% Modula production according to a robust strategy of automation of production lines and insourcing of manufacturing and process know-how. This has made the company stronger in terms of product quality, market competitiveness, and process knowledge.
Modula has chosen to focus on the vertical production of a single type of product and has always dedicated significant resources to research and development. Consequently, it has developed a wide range of models and configurations at its warehouses. Foresight in investment has resulted in the dedication of over €150 million to state-of-the-art production facilities in Italy, the United States, and China.
Production Process
Everything happens automatically. Starting with the cutting of panels directly from rolls of sheet steel, production moves swiftly through to finished components. The flow of single parts, kits, or batches depends on specific orders. Production is managed just-in-time and monitored step-by-step by the proprietary MPS (Modula Production System) software.
This software manages requirements linked to sales orders and provides full control over the progress of each order via an integrated barcode reader system. MPS communicates with MRP and ERP systems for the automatic scheduling of work requests. This interconnection via robots and software allows for reduced costs, increased productivity, and real-time control.
