Efficient Spare Parts Management with the Automated Vertical Storage System

SOME has installed the Modula Lift MC50D, an automated vertical storage unit that optimises factory space. Occupying only 9 m², it offers a storage capacity of 130 m² thanks to its height. This maximises available storage space, freeing up room for other production processes within the factory. Additionally, the system provides detailed inventory control and traceability for each item, enhancing logistics management and workflow reliability.

This system manages spare parts for over 300 dies, each with 150 references, allowing operators to access the required parts for die maintenance with just a few clicks on the screen. The General Services department also uses it for its own installation and machinery spare parts.

Each tray holds up to 500 kg, with a current total of 60 trays, expandable to 72. The unit is currently at 75% capacity and can accommodate spare parts for new projects.

The Modula Lift software, integrated with SOME’s SAP system, ensures precise stock control and full traceability, minimising errors and guaranteeing the availability needed to maintain production within service and quality standards.
