Rimaster

Rimaster is a leading company in the development and manufacture of cable harnesses, electrical cabinets, electronics, cabs and mechanical systems for special vehicles and industrial systems. Rimaster never compromises on the quality of its products and, when it decided to invest in a more efficient storage system, it got in touch with another supplier that puts quality first - Weland Solutions.

Rimaster ordered an end-to-end system comprising three Compact Twin vertical storage lifts, extra load trays, the WMS system Compact Store including Compact Talk, Picking Display and LED Strip. Weland Solutions recommended combining this with a Put to Light system, which has become an increasingly popular solution for further improving picking operations and storage management.

Byggplast & Båtprylar Sverige AB

Byggplast & Båtprylar Sverige AB is a wholesale supplier to Seasea, a company specialising in marine products with retail outlets throughout Sweden. The chain consists of 10 own stores and 20 franchise stores. The company also sells marine accessories to shipyards throughout the country, other selected retailers and directly to consumers via e-commerce.

The company has been in business since 1979 and has its headquarters and warehouse in Segeltorp, In addition to the store, the property, which covers a total area of 4,700 m2, also houses the company's headquarters and a warehouse that takes up 3,000 m2. With ever-increasing sales but limited warehouse space, it is necessary to find an intelligent way of using the available space.

Byggplast & Båtprylar has extensively renovated its warehouse and installed seven Compact Twin lifts. The building, which previously held 7,000 unique items, now has a capacity of 9,000, of which 4,000 are stored in vertical storage lifts. The remaining 5,000 items are stored in traditional pallet racks, which are managed through the same storage system. The installation of the new Compact Twin vertical stackers has brought a number of positive changes - overtime has been eliminated, the need for seasonal staff has been significantly reduced, management is seamless and picking errors have been reduced to a minimum. "

As Per Tengman, Logistics and IT Manager, says: "We sell all sorts of products related to life on a boat. There is a lot of interest in our products and we have been able to increase our turnover year on year. However, our sales are seasonal and we need to have as much stock as possible at peak times. We were forced to find a more efficient storage solution. The choice of the Compact Twin system was simple. We fell in love with the twin function, which means the lift can handle two load trays at the same time. The picking speed has more than doubled as it is possible to pick from one tray while the system is loading the next. The first three lifts were ordered in 2018. Their positive impact has been so revolutionary that we have ordered two more in 2020 and two more in 2021. With seven Compact Twins lifts available, we have now achieved the most optimal solution for our product range and limited storage space, which we are extremely pleased about."

And in the same breath he adds: "As well as being able to expand our product range, we are now also able to manage the demands of the high season using fewer seasonal staff. Now one person can handle the work of three. This means the staff can handle twice as much work and still pick efficiently without bumping into each other."

Theofils central warehouse

Theofils' DIY stores in Jönköping, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö have a range of over 9,000 items with a focus on furniture fittings.

When the warehouse in Jönköping was rebuilt, the requirement was to increase handling efficiency without having to expand the warehouse area into larger premises. The solution was to use vertical storage lifts Compact.

After raising the roof to make it possible to fit in higher storage lifts, 2 Compact Twins and 2 Compact Lifts were installed with a load capacity of up to 500 kg. The vertical storage lifts now manage 2,500 of the company’s articles and can serve the stores with daily deliveries. As a result, the market is well served locally without the need to keep more stock in the stores.

Bunzl Retail Supplies

Bunzl Retail Supplies is the UK’s leading supplier of goods not for resale, and their supply chain solutions has an extensive network of global suppliers across a broad and eclectic range of product categories to deliver a holistic solution for their customers.

Bunzl Retail Supplies set out with the expectations that they needed a solution, that could pick a high volume of small skews, and they had to do it in large batches for batch efficiency. At the same time, they needed to be able to replenish the machine as efficiently as they could pick from it. Four Compact Twin vertical stackers with 96 put-to-light stations were delivered to cover the company expectations.

The Compact Twin is the only vertical lift on the market that has a twin extractor, that means it can carry two trays at once. Due to that it means it can deliver consistently faster, the trays to the access opening, which reduces the time for an operative stood waiting for the trays, which essentially would be wasted otherwise.

Intaga Group

Sweden's first Compact Lift 4000 in operation

Intaga Group has recently concentrated its Swedish companies in newly built large production and warehouse facilities. The newly relocated companies include Manovi, a subcontractor, Cremo Boats, a boat manufacturer, Cremo Carbox, a roof box manufacturer, and Grad-in, a radiator importer. Several suppliers met the specification requirements for vertical storage lifts and the winner in the end was the new Compact Lift 4000, which beat the competition and is the first installation in Sweden.

One of the requirements was a ""goods-to-person"" storage solution that could hold as many products as possible in the smallest floor space. Now that we have a four-metre Compact Lift model as standard, we were able to offer a very competitive solution. The vertical storage lift was delivered in November and has a storage capacity of 175 m2 with a floor area of only 13.5 m2. At 8.3 metres high, it can hold 50 load trays, each with a load capacity of 500 kg.

The original idea was that this vertical storage lift would hold items from all four companies, but in the end they only filled it with parts and accessories for the Grad-in radiators and underfloor heating. Therefore, investment in additional vertical stackers will need to be considered in the future. After three months of operation, an audit was carried out to optimise the efficiency of the operation so that the most desirable items were placed close together and near the handling opening for faster picking.

KG Knutsson

The K.G. Knutsson AB trading company is a Swedish wholesaler, focusing on the automotive industry and marine accessories, which was founded in 1946. K.G. Knutsson is active in all of Scandinavia with a number of well-known brands in its the assortment and it sells products primarily via a dealer network.

The background to investment in vertical storage lifts is that all the materials for service and repair of transmission are handled in racks and mezzanines. This management method results in a poor use of the premises’ space, relatively many balance errors and, above all, a long processing time.

With Compact Lift vertical storage lifts and Compact Store WMS from Weland Solutions, the efficiency is improved in several ways;there is both a much greater certainty in the balance and, simultaneously, shorter lead times for repairs.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen Parts Logistics in Nykvarn supplies authorised workshops with spare parts for the Volkswagen Group’s makes of cars in the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish markets. Compact vertical storage lifts have increased the picking rate. Every day, more than 14,500 rows a day are picked for 240 dealers.

The partnership with Volkswagen began back in 2004. The spare parts warehouse was located in Södertälje in those days. However, the expansion of the business drove the need to increase storage capacity and a brand new spare parts facility was built in Nykvarn. This would serve as a hub for the whole of Scandinavia. Weland Solutions was entrusted with supplying space-efficient vertical storage lifts with a high picking speed because the client wanted the maximum storage capacity possible in the least possible amount of space

Ten years on, Volkswagen Parts Logistics is now one of Scandinavia’s largest vertical storage lift facilities. This massive facility houses 54 Compact Twin automated pickers and three Compact Lifts, which are high-grade, customised, fully-automated buffer systems that are designed for unmanned operation.

Automation in warehouses

Bohumil Tejnicky, VertiFlex

Both people and machines have their limits and we are currently very close to those limits. In intralogistics, automation is the muscle that must be controlled by the brain in the form of software and together they make life easier for a human. Mechanically, machines are close to perfection, but it is only when they are used properly that they can achieve unforeseen possibilities. Let's look at specific cases of how machines and humans can be helped by artificial intelligence in intralogistics.

At VertiFlex, we enjoy finding new and smart solutions that help maximize the performance of machines and people. Let us take a little look back in time. In 1995, my colleague, Pavel Kraus, brought elevator technology to the Czech Republic. Ten years later, we made the first pick-to-light installation linked to a higher-level warehouse management system (WMS). In 2015, another ten years later, the use of automated technology is changing to primarily picking technology. Two years ago, VertiFlex installed a vertical stacker with a double lift. Since last year, the WMS has been using artificial intelligence, thanks to our VertiNode Ai software. Our ambition is to make the Czech Republic an innovative leader in automated intralogistics.

From the projects we have implemented, we can see that the demand for smart solutions that bring high added value is growing rapidly. Installations of vertical stackers with double lift technology, so-called Twin, or double lift and double shelf depth, so-called Double, significantly outperform traditional vertical stackers with a single lift. The twin technology allows two shelves to be transported at the same time, which helps to pick items faster. While picking is in progress from the first shelf, the Compact Twin will load the next shelf according to the pick list and place that shelf in a waiting position on the available space in the lift. When the first pick from the pick list is confirmed, the shelf is moved back to the lift, the second shelf is moved directly from the waiting position and the next pick from the order pick list is started. In addition, the bottom position of the lift is located below the drive and therefore reaches the ground. It is therefore possible to increase the capacity of the vertical stacker by a further 5% compared to other solutions.

Double stacker technology goes even further and offers more storage capacity in a limited space thanks to its double depth. Compared to conventional vertical stackers, this solution offers 200% of storage capacity in only 160% of the footprint of the machine. The automation possibilities are far from over. Combining vertical stackers with highly efficient conveyors creates a unique synergistic Dynamic technology that provides superior and efficient handling of goods while delivering high reliability. Compact Dynamic is a fully automated man-to-man goods transport solution that enables the handling of different plastic box variants. Advantages include fast installation and the ability to develop and expand the technology on the fly. In the event of service interventions, only the specific module is disconnected.

The machine is the muscle that helps the person to do the work. Our VertiNode Ai software solution develops the capabilities of the stand even further. By using artificial intelligence, it is possible to efficiently defragment stock, dividing the automated warehouse into individual zones with different turnover rates. The software enables automatic continuous scoring of items according to historical data on material movements while maintaining a sufficient buffer in each zone to target the storage of material on receipt. During night downtime, the system automatically defragments items based on available data and prepares items for first picking.

Artificial intelligence in the warehouse space performs performance defragmentation of the stackers and plans the placement of material in each stacker to ensure that each stacker is evenly loaded and performs in a balanced manner. The system performs automatic ABC analysis and suggests the placement of goods throughout the system for maximum performance and highest picking efficiency. Order picking is expedited by features such as order grouping for fastest throughput, estimating order completion time, shelf pre-picking, or pre-picking based on traffic estimates from historical data.

The AI system also helps reduce errors when picking materials or goods with features such as weight checking, where the system does not need to know the weight in advance but learns as it is used. Artificial intelligence is also able to warn of suspicious operations and alert the operator to possible errors. During picking, the system also uses visual guidance for faster picking - checking positions and alerting on the correct location of the item, photographing material by location. When the number of operators is higher, the automatic checking is performed using wristbands, colour identification, etc.

Control and evaluation are important for performance evaluation and as a source of data for the learning process of the AI system itself. The collected data and statistics serve as information for the management of machine and operator performance, alerting them to the need for service interventions in case of fluctuating machine performance. The data provides an overview of the amount of work performed and can create an estimate of future workload and help evaluate the time performance series.

A major advantage of the VertiNode Ai software solution is its open API, which is compatible with a range of systems and makes it easy to deploy in a corporate environment. Over the past two years, we have also become convinced of the need for disinfection in the workplace. One of the options is the built-in automatic ozone disinfection of stored material and the entire vertical stacker area.

It is not only functionality that makes a man alive! We also offer the option of individual design of the outer cladding, whether the reason is work safety and uniform colouring of the machinery or the use of the stackers, for example, directly in the area of the business unit or simply the desire for a friendly working environment for warehouse employees.

One of our implementations that incorporates almost all of the above is the delivery of four Compact Twin vertical stackers to Madal Bal in Zlín. For Madal Bal, which specialises in online sales, the stackers were supplied with a bespoke cladding in the client's corporate design. The vertical stackers work together via VertiNode Ai software. VertiNode Ai is also linked to the warehouse management system (WMS). The loading of goods and their subsequent picking is thus managed using artificial intelligence (Ai), which optimises the maximum capacity utilisation of each stacker over time based on data from the WMS system.

The vertical stackers are complemented by a picking rack working on the principle of Pick-to-Light technology. Colour-coded confirmation buttons and colour selection allow multiple operators to work simultaneously in the picking zone. This system allows for an increase in the number of picked orders.

VLM adaptations for fully automatic usage can be costly with long delivery times. We have developed together with our sister company LogTech a smart and price-friendly solution for these cases. By keeping things simple we are bringing to the market full automation for prices that are not sky-high.

Boxes are manipulated on the VLM trays without any need for special adjustment of the storage unit from production. Only a separate addon is placed next to the lift opening with easy trays inlay adaptation. The addon uses our custom designed pneumatic push-grabbers to place and retrieve boxes in the VLM automatically from and on the conveyor. Because many boxes can be manipulated at the same time, this solution can be much better performing that similar dedicated box vertical buffer modules that transport one or two boxes at the same time only and are locked in specific box sizes.

Many existing VLM units can be retrofitted with this technology with very little effort and we offer to deliver it not only for our preffered and technologically superior Weland Solutions Compact Lifts but for lifts of any other producer, too. You can see how VertiFlex SPider works here.

Four twins in Zlín

There was no baby boom in Zlín, but we have completed the installation of four Compact Twin vertical storage lifts. They were supplied with custome-made cladding in the client's corporate design forMadal Bal, a company specialising in online sales. The vertical stackers work together via VertiNode Ai software, which we developed in-house. VertiNode Ai also interfaces with the client‘s warehouse management system (WMS). The loading of goods and their subsequent picking is thus managed using artificial intelligence (Ai), which, based on data from the WMS system, optimises the maximum capacity utilisation of each stacker over time.

The vertical stackers are complemented by a picking rack working on the principle of Pick-to-Light technology. Colour- coded confirmation buttons and colour selection allow multi- ple operators to work simultaneously in the picking zone. This system allows for an increase in the number of picked orders.

VertiFlex became a proud sponsor of the famous Permoník choir

At the end of March, the Permoník choir Karviná won gold at the Sounds of Spring festival in New York's Carnegie Hall! Our managing partner Bohumil Tejnický is a long-time member of the choir. The success of the choir is therefore directly relevant to us. Not only we are proud of the choir's top placings in international competitions, but we are also proud to be one of the sponsors of this choir, which has achieved world renown and is one of the absolute leaders in its more than 50-year history.

The choir Permoník Karviná was founded in 1966 by Eva Šeinerová and Ivan Šeiner. Choral studio Permoník has approximately 230 singers, ages 5 to 65. Today, the Permoník Concert Choir is one of the world's leading choirs. The highest award from Carnegie Hall is another proof of this. You can find the pictures from the successful trip to New York in the gallery.

VertiFlex enters the virtual world

In order to make the technologies we supply as accessible as possible to our potential customers, we have created a virtual VertiFlex showroom where three models of Compact vertical storage lifts from Swedish partner Weland Solutions - Compact Lift, Compact Twin and Compact Double - are presented. The virtual showroom also includes our unique VertiNode Ai software, which uses artificial intelligence to plan operations.

In the showroom, visitors can view the design of the vertical storage lifts from the outside and inside and learn about the individual machine functions. It is also possible to remove the cladding from the vertical storage lifts and see the construction with the positioning of the trays or the storage of the extractor and its drive. Model trays stacking demonstrates the possibilities of using the internal space with regard to the dimensions of your goods or material.

The cladding of vertical storage lifts is also available in individual colours according to customer requirements. In our showroom you can also try out which colour would best suit your warehouse. And of course there is no shortage of demonstrations of the operations involved in loading goods or materials into the machine or picking them from the individual positions. There are product videos for each vertical storage lift.

In the showroom, visitors will also discover the main features and benefits of the artificial intelligence software, VertiNode Ai, and its connection not only to the individual stackers but also to the parent WMS. The virtual showroom showcases the unique features of each of the vertical storage lifts and provides detailed views inside the machine and many other features.

VertiFlex strengthens its position as a logistics solutions integrator and establishes a strategic partnership with Geek+

Automation in logistics has been a frequently discussed topic in recent years and there are many opinions on its deployment across industries. However, companies today don't just see automation of internal logistics processes as a tool for increased operational efficiency or operational cost savings in this area. More and more companies see automation and robotics in warehouses as a solution to the lack of staff for manual operations in the future.

VertiFlex is a very dynamically developing purely Czech company and specializes in the integration of logistics technologies with an emphasis on automation of operations. VertiFlex stands on three basic pillars. The first pillar is the company philosophy and a team of people who have many years of pan-European experience in warehouse automation and intralogistics. The second pillar is its own unique VertiNode Ai software for automated logistics, built on the latest artificial intelligence technologies. The third pillar is strategic partnerships with the leading logistics automation vendors.

And it is in this area that VertiFlex has strengthened its position as a logistics solutions integrator and established a new strategic partnership with Geek+, a leading supplier of robotic technology for logistics. This move will strengthen Vertiflex's position in the rapidly expanding automated logistics solutions sector, particularly in the area of robotics. The new partnership will bring more opportunities to design suitable automation solutions and their ideal integration into an efficient logistics unit with a promising return on investment.

„There are a number of manufacturers and suppliers on the market in the field of automation of logistics operations. Our goal is not to offer everything. Our goal is to bring the customer a maximally efficient system with high added value of functional integration into a single unit where operations are coordinated by a sophisticated artificial intelligence software“, says Managing Partner of VertiFlex, Bohumil Tejnicky.

VertiFlex will work with Geek+, as well as other partners, on logistics solutions for a wide range of industries from manufacturing to e-commerce, with an emphasis on optimizing warehouse management, increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs.

According to VertiFlex CEO, Pavel Kraus, this partnership is an important step for both companies. VertiFlex strengthens its market position and becomes a major player in the robotic warehouse systems market. Geek+ gains a strong and dynamically growing partner in the Central European region with excellent capabilities in the integration and implementation of complex logistics solutions. The partnership will bring new opportunities for innovative solutions for customers looking to improve their logistics processes and increase the efficiency of their warehouse operations.

Financing

Operational leasing of storage equipment, including full service

Proper financing of new investments in new logistics equipment is an essential part of the purchasing process. VertiFlex offers its customers the option of financing vertical lifts in the form of operating leases. The availability of the service is guaranteed for the entire rental period.

For long-term competitiveness, it is necessary to invest in modern and technologically advanced equipment, which speeds up the process of handling goods, increases comfort in the workplace and at the same time reduces operating costs. We always have a suitable way for our customers to effectively finance vertical towers, and we provide financial or operational leasing tailored to the needs of a specific customer.

Sales of vertical lifts for consideration

We also offer our customers the option of purchasing a new Compact vertical lift with a so-called counter-account, ie by exchanging the old lift for a new one. We will buy an old lift of any brand from you and its purchase price will be used to pay part of the purchase price of the new machine. We will not only buy the old machine from you, but we will also handle all administrative formalities, we will ensure professional disassembly and removal of the old lift.
