We’re excited to introduce the ICAM SILO² - a Vertical Lift Module that’s anything but “standard”.
Designed to maximize storage capacity in a smaller footprint, boost productivity, seamlessly integrate with your software, and reduce total cost of ownership, the ICAM SILO² stands in a class of its own- bridging the gap between traditional VLMs and fully automated bin storage systems.
Here are a few differences that make the SILO2 stand out:
1. Maximum Space Utilization (Vertical and Horizontal)
The SILO²’s multi-column, modular design allows it to expand both vertically and horizontally, fitting into complex layouts (corners, U-shapes, around building columns, multi-level, or even partially below ground). This enables it to optimize all available warehouse space, whereas single-column VLMs are limited to vertical expansion and often leave horizontal space underutilized.
2. Greater Storage Capacity and Density
With its ability to add columns (from 2 to 7) and use over 120 tray types, the SILO² can achieve much higher storage capacity and density within a given footprint. In many cases, a single multi-column SILO² can replace two or more single-column VLMs, delivering the same or greater storage volume with a smaller overall footprint and lower cost per cubic foot.
3. Superior Productivity and Reduced Waiting Times
With up to 8 access openings and the ability to operate in parallel (delivering trays to multiple openings at once), the SILO² allows simultaneous picking and refilling. This dramatically reduces operator waiting times compared to single-column VLMs, which can only serve one tray at a time.
4. Exceptional Flexibility and Customization:
The SILO² can be configured with a wide range of tray sizes, load capacities, and layouts to match specific storage needs and the facility design. This level of customization ensures an optimized perfect fit for any application, from small parts to heavy tools and production components.
5. Lower Total Cost of Ownership:
By replacing multiple single-column units with one multi-column SILO², companies benefit from reduced acquisition, installation, and maintenance costs. The system’s modularity also allows for future expansion or reconfiguration as needs change, further protecting the investment.
