Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Vertical Storage Carousel (VSC) in a logistics context?
A Vertical Storage Carousel is an automated, high-density storage system where bins rotate vertically to bring items directly to a stationary operator. In logistics, it acts as a highly efficient “goods-to-person” solution for storing and retrieving a vast number of small-to-medium parts and SKUs.
How can a VSC improve order picking efficiency in my warehouse?
It eliminates non-productive walking and searching time. Instead of pickers traveling through aisles, the system brings the correct bin to the ergonomic pick window. This can increase picking throughput by up to 2/3 and allows a single operator to manage a vast amount of inventory from one spot.
We have thousands of different SKUs. Is this system suitable?
Absolutely. VSCs are ideal for high-SKU environments. Their software manages the precise location of every item. This is perfect for e-commerce fulfillment, spare parts logistics, and kitting operations where SKU proliferation is a major challenge.
Can it integrate with our existing Warehouse Management System (WMS)?
Yes. Modern VSCs are designed for seamless integration. They can communicate with Ilink software to your host WMS or ERP via standard APIs, receiving pick lists and sending back confirmation data in real-time, creating a fully connected material flow.
How does it help with inventory accuracy, which is critical for logistics?
The system’s software provides real-time, perpetual inventory control. Every transaction is tracked electronically, eliminating manual counting errors. This leads to 99.9%+ inventory accuracy, reduces stockouts, and improves demand forecasting.
What about security for high-value goods?
The fully enclosed, lockable structure of a VSC provides superior physical security compared to open shelving. Access can be restricted via PIN codes or biometrics, providing a clear audit trail and protecting high-value electronics, pharmaceuticals, or other sensitive goods.
