Modula Inc.
"Think Vertical"
Only US manufacturer of vertical lift modules and automated storage/retrieval systems, with AMR and robot integrations for warehouse automation.
Modula Inc. is the leading US manufacturer of vertical lift modules (VLMs) and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). Part of the global Modula Group founded in 1987 by engineer Franco Stefani, Modula Inc. operates US production facilities in Lewiston, Maine and Franklin, Ohio, with products proudly made in the USA and sold through a network of more than 70 North American dealers. With over 35 years of experience and more than 20,000 installations worldwide, Modula helps customers recover floor space, increase picking speed and reduce picking errors. Its VLM range includes the popular Modula Lift, the compact-footprint Modula Slim, the precision-picking Modula Next, the ground-level Modula Pallet for euro pallets, and the high-throughput Modula Flexibox, which processes up to 180 bins per hour.
The company also offers horizontal carousels and a suite of order-picking solutions such as put-to-light systems, picking stations and carts. Modula WMS warehouse management software, IoT/telemetry and AI services (including a plant designer and optimizer) manage operations and integrate with ERP and DMS systems. Critically for robotics, Modula provides robotics integrations: the Modula Robot Interface for anthropomorphic robot arms and integration with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), enabling automated goods-to-robot and goods-to-person workflows. Customers span e-commerce, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, manufacturing, automotive and electronics industries.

How a Robot Should Die: Phase 5, Lifecycle KPIs, and One Welding Arm's Four Years
When is a robot's time up? RSF's four-dimension scoring matrix, Data Erasure Certificates, hazmat compliance, and five KPIs that measure the lifecycle.
Fix One Machine, Improve the Fleet: Phase 4 and the Closed Loop
Repairs that teach nothing repeat forever. Inside RSF Phase 4: the eight-step corrective process, five RCA triggers, and the Known Fault Library loop.
Skip the Gate, Own the Liability: Phase 2 and the Stage Gate Mechanism
RSF defines two hard stops around robot commissioning. Bypass SG1 and safety liability shifts to you; skip SG2 and your SLA loses its evidence base. Inside.
