Mouser operates the world's largest vertical lift module fleet, improving order processing, accuracy, and speed, and reducing time to market.

Mouser Electronics™, the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, recently announced its continued investment in state-of-the-art automation in its global distribution centers to improve order processing, accuracy, and speed, enabling customers to further accelerate time to market.

According to this, Mouser plans to install additional vertical lift modules (VLMs) this spring, bringing the total number of units in operation to 120.

This is the largest VLM installation in the world.

A VLM is a large vertical filing cabinet that uses shelves and automatic extraction devices to bring parts to employees' workstations. This can improve operational efficiency, including increasing available floor space and reducing employee walking time by more than 45%.

Mouser's distribution centers feature a fleet of Ultipack and I-Pack machines, sophisticated automated packaging and labeling systems capable of processing up to 14 orders per minute, along with OPEX Perfect Pick and AutoStore systems to enhance all processes.

"Introducing automation into our state-of-the-art distribution centers will enable us to provide superior customer service," said Pete Shopp, Senior Vice President of Business Operations at Mouser Electronics. "The tools and systems we've built will provide additional benefits that will accelerate our customers' time-to-market."

Mouser's massive global distribution center, located on a 320,000-square-foot campus in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Texas, handles over one million unique parts for over 1,200 global manufacturer brands.

Mouser's employees process tens of thousands of orders each week, working at the forefront of technological advancements with a dedication to customer service.

While the adoption of cutting-edge automation is primarily aimed at increasing efficiency, productivity, accuracy, and speed, these systems also enable more sustainable operations and higher customer satisfaction.

As a global authorized distributor, Mouser Electronics stocks the world's widest selection of the latest semiconductors and electronic components, available for same-day shipping. Mouser customers can be assured of 100% authentic products, sourced directly from the manufacturer. Mouser's website offers an extensive library of technical support, including product datasheets, manufacturer-specific reference designs, application notes, technical design information, engineering tools, and other helpful resources, as well as a Technical Support Center, to help customers design faster.
