Conveyors, carousels and material flow: a natural fit
Conveyors are frequently integrated with carousels and VLMs. These systems are a natural fit for product access and transport versatility. When combined with sorting and accumulation equipment, conveyors manage product sequencing, merge and divert orders, and buffer items between processes. These systems ensure that materials arrive where and when they're needed—without idle time or manual handling delays.
Mezzanines, pick modules, platforms and multi-story applications
Carousels and VLMs are naturally suited for multi-level applications. They extend vertically through mezzanine floors, making use of overhead space and consolidating storage. This approach lets one automated storage system serve multiple levels, which reduces floor congestion and increases capacity. For facilities that are short on expansion space, vertical integration with a pick module or mezzanine often provides the quickest path to higher throughput.
Workstations, assembly and picking stations
Workstations frequently serve as the human interface with automation. With the right forethought, your operators can work at ergonomic stations directly served by one or more carousels or VLMs. Integrated barcode scanners, pick-to-light indicators, and labeling systems streamline order fulfillment both within the carousel and for the work areas it serves. Adjustable-height benches and flow racks allow customization for specific tasks or operators, ensuring comfort, safety, and productivity throughout the shift.
Lift tables, hoists, cranes and positioning equipment integrations
Not every task can be fully automated, but every task can be made safer and easier. Lift tables, hoists, positioners and ergonomic-assisted equipment positioned near carousel or VLM workstations help operators handle heavier or oversized items at the proper height. These devices reduce strain, prevent injury, and maintain a consistent working rhythm—especially in hybrid environments where manual and automated processes overlap.
AGVs, AMRs and other mobile automation
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) extend automation beyond the storage zone. They can deliver totes, trays, or pallets directly to carousel or VLM workstations, enabling true goods-to-person workflows. Pairing them with carousel/VLM automation reduces human travel and makes it possible to integrate storage automation seamlessly into dynamic, mobile material handling systems.
Packaging and weighing systems integration
Outbound flow are as important as inbound. Integrating packaging and weighing systems with carousels or VLMs allows retrieved items to move directly into packing, sealing, and labeling lines. Weigh stations confirm order completeness and accuracy, ensuring every package is right the first time. The result is a continuous, hands-free process from retrieval to shipment.
Software integrations tie physical systems together
Physical connections like conveyors, workstations, mezzanines, and packaging systems create the framework for how materials move, but true integration goes deeper. Software ties these systems together, synchronizing movement, inventory, and information. A well-planned connection between automated storage and a warehouse management system (WMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform, or other digital control layer ensures that every pick, putaway, and transaction happens with precision and accountability.
