It functions like an oversized drawer cabinet with trays arranged in two vertical columns, one at the front and one at the rear. An extractor in the center retrieves and delivers the requested trays to an access opening. This "goods-to-person" principle saves time and reduces manual labor. o Storage: VLMs are designed for high-density storage of small to medium- sized items, saving up to 90% of floor space compared to traditional shelving. This is achieved by utilizing the vertical height of a facility. The system automatically scans each tray to find the most efficient storage location, maximizing density. -- 1 of 17 -- TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT STATEMENT OF WORK FOR VERTICAL LIFT MODULE JUNE 2026 Version - FEB 2025 o Order Picking: By delivering items directly to the operator, VLMs significantly reduce walking and search time, increasing picking speed and accuracy.
