The Full Kardex Remstar Portfolio We Install & Integrate

Our Kardex Remstar portfolio includes a full range of automated storage solutions, each designed to address specific throughput, space optimization, and inventory needs:

  • Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) - The Kardex Shuttle

    The Kardex Shuttle Vertical Lift Module (VLM) is an automated, high-density storage solution designed to maximize capacity within a minimal footprint. Using the proven goods-to-person principle, trays are delivered directly to the operator, eliminating wasted time spent walking, searching, and bending.

    Key Benefits: Space Optimization (up to 85% reclaimed space), Integrated pick-to-light technology, Improved Productivity, and a Safe & Ergonomic workflow. VLS also offer added security, as the machine can lock out if an operator does not have access to the inventory.

  • Vertical Buffer Modules (VBMs) - Miniload-in-a-Box

    The VBM is a compact, automated bin storage system designed for high-speed retrieval, intelligent buffering, and efficient material flow. Ideal for staging parts between production steps, managing buffer inventory, or organizing kits for assembly, the VBM ensures materials are always in the right place at the right time.

    Key Benefits: Efficient Order Consolidation, Flexible & Scalable, Automated Box Handling, and Accurate Item Picking.

  • Vertical Carousels (VCMs) - Kardex Megamat

    The Kardex Megamat Vertical Carousel is a compact, high-density storage solution designed to store and retrieve small, like-sized items with speed and precision. Using rotating carriers, the system delivers parts directly to the operator access point in just seconds, providing up to 75% more storage density compared to traditional shelving.

    Key Benefits: Enhanced Security (controlled access), Improved Productivity (items delivered quickly), and a Safe & Ergonomic workflow.

  • Horizontal Carousels

    The Kardex Horizontal Carousel is an automated storage and retrieval system designed for high-throughput operations that handle fast-moving small parts, tools, or components. These carousels maximize productivity by combining inventory management software and pick-to-light technology to guide operators.

    Key Benefits: High Throughput, Increased Accuracy, Reduced labor requirements by up to two-thirds, and an Ergonomic Design.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kardex Systems

The Vertical Lift Module (VLM), such as the Kardex Shuttle, uses tray-based storage to maximize vertical space and deliver goods to the operator via an extractor. The Vertical Carousel (VCM) uses rotating shelves (carriers) to deliver parts to the operator access point. VLMs are ideal for a high diversity of inventory sizes, while VCMs excel at maximizing storage density for small, similarly sized parts and tools.

How much space can I save with a Kardex vertical storage system?

Most operations see 60-85% floor space reduction compared to traditional static shelving or bin storage. A single VLM system can store the equivalent of 8-15 rows of shelving in a small footprint.

Can Kardex systems integrate with my existing warehouse management system?

Yes. Kardex storage systems are designed for seamless integration with virtually all major WMS and ERP platforms. Our team handles all integration work to ensure your system communicates flawlessly with your existing software.

What's the typical ROI timeline for a Kardex storage system?

While every operation is different, most companies achieve payback in 18–36 months through labor savings, space optimization, error reduction, and improved throughput. High-volume operations often see faster returns.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance and support?

Absolutely. Precision Warehouse Design offers comprehensive maintenance programs, emergency support, and system optimization services to keep your Kardex equipment running at peak performance.
