In the spring of 2022, Mouser completed the installation of 120 vertical lift modules (VLM), the largest VLM installation in the world. VLMs are essentially giant vertical filing cabinets, complete with shelves and an automated extractor to bring the components to the employee’s workstation. This increases efficiency and space and can reduce an employee’s walking time by 45% or more.
In addition to the massive VLM installation, Mouser’s distribution center features multiple Ultipack and I-Pack machines—a sophisticated automated package sealing and labeling system that can process up to 14 orders per minute—as well as an OPEX Perfect Pick system for consolidation and AutoStore system.
Although the adoption of state-of-the-art automation acts primarily as a means of increasing efficiency, productivity, accuracy and speed, the systems also enable more sustainable operations and improved customer satisfaction.
