Modula Next intelligent vertical automated storage system
Modula Next is the intelligent vertical storage system developed by Modula to improve precision, safety, and control in industrial warehouse picking operations. The system combines vertical automated storage technology with the concept of an industrial vending machine — eliminating picking errors and increasing the traceability of logistics operations.
Through an innovative automated sliding window system, Modula Next grants the operator access exclusively to the correct compartment containing the requested item. This approach drastically reduces picking errors, mix-ups between similar SKUs, unauthorized retrievals, and material damage.
Based on the goods-to-person principle, the system automatically delivers products to the operator bay — improving speed, ergonomics, and operational accuracy. Modula Next is ideal for companies managing sensitive components, high-value products, and high-precision picking activities in the automotive, electronics, aerospace, pharmaceutical, and industrial distribution sectors.
Integration with WMS software, ERP systems, and Industry 4.0 technologies enables complete monitoring of movements and operator access — ensuring inventory control, SKU security, and real-time traceability.
What truly sets Modula Next apart from other automated storage systems is the fact that the operator can only access the exact compartment where the requested item is located. During picking, only the correct slot is made available — there is no possibility of retrieving a wrong item or confusing it with other products within the same load unit. This virtually eliminates picking errors and significantly increases operational accuracy.
Furthermore, the system precisely tracks every operation — recording who performed the retrieval, when it took place, and which SKU was handled. This ensures complete flow control, prevents future discrepancies or mix-ups, and guarantees the highest level of reliability in material management.
