Full product enclosure in both vertical carousels and VLMs maintains the cleanliness of the stored items and can be modified for cleanroom use, reducing outside contamination and cross contamination, when necessary.

These systems offer controlled access for added security. Power Pick Global inventory management software can help medical device manufacturers establish quality processes in manufacturing by providing electronic documentation for stock rotation programs and ensuring expired devices are purged from inventory and not shipped.

These features improve traceability, reduce the number of paper reports and improve overall risk management.
