2. Introduction
If you operate in a factory, distribution centre,
or warehouse using an automated storage
system, vertical lift module, or vertical
carousel and aren't familiar with the different
components of vertical storage systems,
consult this glossary of terms.

3. Automated Storage and
Retrieval System (ASRS)
The Automated Storage and Retrieval System
(ASRS) is a collection of software-controlled
devices that store and retrieve inventory
automatically.

4. Clear Height
The area above a building's ceiling that is free
of HVAC pipes and equipment, lighting
fixtures, and other things.

5. Carrier
A system's one-of-a-kind storage unit. It's
occasionally used instead of a tray or a shelf
when neither is available.

6. Ergonomics
• In vertical storage systems, ergonomics refers
to the process of getting all parts to the "golden
zone" (the area between the shoulders and the
waist) for picking.
• As a result of improved ergonomics,
employees who utilise the vertical storage
system on a daily basis will suffer fewer
workplace accidents and have higher job
satisfaction.
• Vertical carousels and storage systems keep
supplies at workable height, eliminating the
need for users to bend over, reach for a high
shelf, or climb ladders to retrieve what they
need.

7. Cube
The volume of storage space can be calculated
in three dimensions, rather than only by looking
at the square footage of a facility.

8. Heavy Duty
• Medium- and heavy-duty operations require
more than one shift throughout the course of a
five-day workweek.
• If you're working three shifts seven days a
week, it's better to buy new equipment than to
use old equipment.
• Purchasing new equipment is usually the
greatest solution for lowering the chance of
failures and downtime.
• If you're working on a light or medium-duty
schedule, buying used equipment and materials
makes more sense.

13. Tray
• A system's one-of-a-kind storage space.

shelf height that rotates vertically. Take a peek at
this enclosed small Ferris wheel.

14. Shelf
In a system, a shelf is a separate storage place. It's
sometimes used instead of a tray or a carrier when
neither is available.
www.verticalcarouselsaustralia.com.au

15. Vertical Lift Module / VLM
Vertical Lift Module is an automated storage
system with adjustable shelf heights that functions
similarly to a tall storage system with an elevator in
the centre of two storage zones.
www.verticalcarouselsaustralia.com.au

16. Vertical Lift Sequencer / VLS
• For activities involving a high number of goods or
parts SKUs, a vertical lift sequencer (VLS) can
deliver the speed, efficiency, and precision
required.
• VLS units act as a buffer between production and
order fulfilment in distribution centres and
warehouses.
• The VLS employs buffer sequencers to
automatically separate fast-moving SKUs from
palletizing station packages, allowing for the most
efficient split-case picking.

17. Vertical Storage System
A vertical lift module and a vertical carousel are
two automated storage devices that utilise the
cube.

18. Warehouse Control System (WCS)
• A warehouse control system (WCS) receives real-
time data from material processing equipment and
devices, as well as warehouse management system
(WMS) software, in order to appropriately direct
and supervise automated material handling and
operations within the storage facility..
• WCS integrates with WMS/ERP systems to
manage automation equipment in warehouses and
distribution centres. The software is used to
connect the equipment to the client's WMS/ERP
system.
www.verticalcarouselsaustralia.com.au

19. Warehouse Management System (WMS)
• A WMS (Warehouse Management System) is
software that aids in the management of storage
facilities.
• A warehouse management system manages the
transportation and storage of goods within a
warehouse (WMS).
• Picking and storage, as well as shipping and
receiving, are all handled by the WMS.

20. Warranty
• All new installations are backed by a
manufacturer's warranty and are maintained by
factory-trained technicians.
• Select pre-owned material handling equipment
from Outsource Equipment Company comes with
an extended warranty (some restrictions apply).
