Modula MX - Climate Control

Modula Climate Control — is a specialized automated vertical storage system designed for materials sensitive to environmental changes and requiring strict temperature and humidity control to prevent spoilage. The system combines all the advantages of standard Modula Lift vertical storage units with advanced climate control technologies, ensuring a temperature range from +2°C to +40°C and relative humidity ≥ 5%.The main advantages of the system include:

• Space saving and high storage density: The use of a vertical design makes it possible to significantly optimize warehouse space while maintaining a controlled microclimate.
• Energy efficiency and autonomy: Thanks to thermal insulation made of polyurethane foam panels, only the required internal volume is cooled, which minimizes energy consumption. The system is fully autonomous and does not require the construction of additional insulated rooms.
• Product protection and productivity: Loads are delivered directly to the operator (the «goods-to-person» principle), eliminating search time and reducing thermal exposure to sensitive materials. Special independent access openings minimize air exchange with the external environment during tray retrieval.
• Safety and control: Integrated Modula WMS software ensures full traceability of all operations and storage history, while control is carried out via the intuitive Copilot touchscreen console.
• Risk reduction: The airtight structure and environmental condition monitoring system prevent contamination and product spoilage, which is critically important for the pharmaceutical, food, electronics, and chemical industries.

The system can additionally be equipped with a dehumidification unit (DEU) to reduce humidity and an electric post-heater for precise control of environmental parameters.

The MX model (external width 5 508 mm) is specially designed for long items with pallets 3 100 mm wide.

Modula is a visionary company, with the digitalization of processes as one of its core strengths. Over the years, it has opted for 100% Modula production according to a robust strategy of automation of production lines and insourcing of manufacturing and process know-how. This has made the company stronger in terms of product quality, market competitiveness, and process knowledge.

Modula has chosen to focus on the vertical production of a single type of product and has always dedicated significant resources to research and development. Consequently, it has developed a wide range of models and configurations at its warehouses. Foresight in investment has resulted in the dedication of over €150 million to state-of-the-art production facilities in Italy, the United States, and China.

Production Process

Everything happens automatically. Starting with the cutting of panels directly from rolls of sheet steel, production moves swiftly through to finished components. The flow of single parts, kits, or batches depends on specific orders. Production is managed just-in-time and monitored step-by-step by the proprietary MPS (Modula Production System) software.

This software manages requirements linked to sales orders and provides full control over the progress of each order via an integrated barcode reader system. MPS communicates with MRP and ERP systems for the automatic scheduling of work requests. This interconnection via robots and software allows for reduced costs, increased productivity, and real-time control.
