AUTOCRIB® VLM
The first vertical lift module that has the capability and user friendliness to be called a vending machine.
Features
CLEAN INVENTORY
Enclosed storage helps protect tools, parts, and supplies from dirt, dust, and debris, keeping inventory cleaner and in better condition.
EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR INVENTORY
Permissions-based access controls track inventory transactions to individual employees, creating clear accountability for the items they access.
GREATER FLEXIBILITY
The modular VLM design can be integrated into existing facilities without requiring a complete warehouse overhaul. Its height and configuration can also be adjusted as inventory requirements change.
GOODS-TO-PERSON
Inventory is automatically retrieved and delivered to the operator, reducing search and travel time while helping improve picking productivity.
HIGH RELIABILITY
A simplified full-width tray extraction system reduces the number of moving parts, supporting dependable long-term operation and lower maintenance requirements.
INVENTORY ACCURACY
Every inventory transaction is automatically recorded, helping maintain accurate on-hand quantities while reducing the need for frequent cycle counts and physical inventory shutdowns.
EASY TO LEARN
Users can select inventory by tray, part number, or description. Requested items are automatically retrieved and returned through an intuitive interface.
INVENTORY CONTROL
AutoCrib inventory management technology provides item-level tracking, access controls, and detailed reporting to give managers better visibility into inventory activity.
UNBEATABLE VALUE
The AUTOCRIB VLM combines automated vertical storage, inventory control, and space savings in a competitively priced system designed to deliver measurable operational improvements.
REDUCE WORKPLACE INJURIES
Inventory is presented at an ergonomic working height, reducing the need for employees to bend, reach, climb, or retrieve items from unsafe storage positions.
REDUCE LABOR COSTS
Automated retrieval allows fewer employees to manage the same inventory workload while skilled workers remain focused on higher-value production tasks.
INDUSTRIAL VENDING INTEGRATION
The VLM integrates with AutoCrib’s industrial vending product line, providing a scalable inventory management platform that can grow alongside your operation.
NO REPACKAGING REQUIRED
Existing boxes, totes, and bins can be used within the system without requiring specialized product carriers or repackaging.
COMPETITIVE PRICING
The VLM provides automated storage, floor-space savings, and inventory control comparable to larger ASRS systems while maintaining a more accessible investment level.
ENHANCE YOUR IMAGE
The modern automated system provides a professional, technology-forward presentation for plant tours and customer walkthroughs.
RECLAIM VALUABLE FLOOR SPACE
By taking advantage of vertical space, the AUTOCRIB VLM can significantly increase storage capacity while reducing the floor area required for shelving and conventional storage.
