The source. Not a middleman.
IES is the direct North American integration partner for vertical lift modules — we procure, import, install, and support the full system. The machines are engineered and manufactured in Europe. IES manages the whole chain: procurement, ocean freight, customs, delivery to your dock. No third-party distributors inflating price or extending lead times.
03 — How It Works
Store
Build vertically — a single VLM stores 20-30 shelving bays in roughly 100 square feet, reclaiming up to 85% of previously used floor area.
Retrieve
Trays deliver inventory to operator height in seconds. FTP mode delivers the nearest tray fastest for single picks. HOT mode pre-positions trays for rapid batch picking.
Integrate
WMS and ERP connected for paperless pick lists. Barcode, RFID, and API connections. Software configuration and workflow design included. Multi-unit and multi-site deployments run on the same standard.
