Vertical lift modules integrated
with ERP systems

The main advantages of a vertical lift module in a warehouse are picking speed, space savings and better ergonomics and working conditions. It also handles everything from small parts such as screws to long pipes, large sheets and other machine parts.

Systemstöd has integrated Weland Lagersystem lift modules with ERP systems such as Jeeves ERP through ISE Compact Control. The lift module operates in real time from Jeeves ERP and different handheld solutions through ISE Lager.

Vertical lift module for efficient storage

Lift modules can adapt to different physical environments and fulfil important storage functions:

– Picking storage for resource-efficient storage of low- and medium-frequency items, suitable for distribution warehouses, third-party logistics, e-commerce and more.

– Finished goods storage for the most efficient storage of products awaiting delivery.

– Post-process storage ensuring continuity in manufacturing without disruptions due to material shortages.

– Consumables requiring extensive safety stock to prevent manufacturing stoppages. MRO – Maintenance, Repair and Operating material.

– Work in progress to create smooth manufacturing flows, with component supply better adapted to different production stages.

– Stores to simplify handling and supply of consumables, additives, tools and supplementary equipment.

– Component stores for controlling and storing purchased parts to be processed or assembled in manufacturing.

Control the lift module from your ERP system

With our integration ISE Compact you can manage and control lift modules from Jeeves ERP. Two makes are currently supported: Compact Lift from Weland Lagersystem and Pro Lager. They can adapt to different physical environments and offer many benefits:

Picking speed – the technology brings items to the picker instead of the reverse. A user at the lift module generally handles 2–4 times more picks than in a traditional warehouse, while reducing picking errors.

Space-saving – lift modules store items safely and systematically vertically, with each module adapted for optimal space utilisation. You save 70–90% of floor space compared with conventional shelving.

Ergonomics – when goods are stored in a lift module, the right item quickly reaches the picker on a tray at a comfortable working height. There is no need to search or walk among shelves to pick items. 

Versatile storage – lift modules adapt to the goods stored, from small parts and screws to pipes, sheets or machine parts weighing up to 1.5 tonnes per load tray.

Return on investment – many companies are pleasantly surprised at how quickly a lift module pays for itself. A one-year payback is not uncommon.

Control the lift module on mobile devices

Our integration between Jeeves ERP and lift modules can usefully be complemented by our handheld solution ISE Lager for maximum warehouse efficiency.

This solution lets you control lift modules through handheld and mobile devices instead of a computer, saving time on every order. It delivers significant benefits, particularly for picking-intensive e-commerce and retail operations.

Väderstad-verken currently has 3 lift modules for spare parts, reducing floor space from 200 m² to 21 m². Thanks to Weland's Twin function, picking is now 5 times faster, with much better ergonomics and working conditions around the machines. A total of 7 Weland Lagersystem storage units are used: 1 for maintenance, 3 for production and 3 for spare parts, with more on the way.
