Profile: Lauyans & Company, Inc. offers small parts storage systems. The SPSS vertical lift module uses high density storage, and takes advantage of vertical space above the floor to optimize space & increase productivity. Very high density storage is accomplished by storing inventory in trays that are stored vertically on shelves. Stored product remains stationary until an operator calls for the tray, which is then automatically retrieved by an extractor platform. The tray is then presented to the operator at an ergonomically correct workstation. The base of the SPSS unit requires only 47 square feet on the floor, but allows for up to 800 cubic feet of total storage volume. An SPSS vertical storage system will save floor space and revolutionize inventory management for the business. A single SPSS vertical lift module (VLM) can save over 1,400 square feet of floor space in the production facility, warehouse, or distribution center. Manufacturing, maintenance, and other industries that involve the use of high volumes of parts, components, or tools will benefit from an automated storage & retrieval system (AS/RS). AS/RS units help businesses to maximize storage capacity, improve efficiency, and manage inventory more accurately. Our small parts storage system (SPSS) makes the benefits of AS/RS technology affordable, in a straightforward vertical lift module (VLM) system, that businesses of every size, in virtually any industry can use. SPSS is a vertical lift module (VLM) automated storage & retrieval system (AS/RS) that is designed for convenient storage & retrieval of tools and small parts. It combines precise organization and complete protection of modular drawer storage with high speed, space saving, and security of an automated storage & retrieval system (AS/RS).
