Overview

Modula is the Italian company established in Fiorano and now in Salvaterra di Reggio Emilia which is a leader in the creation, design and production of vertical automatic warehouses. The idea dates back to 1987 when businessman Franco Stefani thought up an automatic system for holding goods in a neat, clean and controlled way. It allows operators to easily find what they are looking for in the warehouse without moving between long shelving, which is bad for health, ergonomics and efficiency.
Modula is also the name of the product: an automatic vertical cabinet which can store any type of product, from screws and micro-components to car parts, bars, engines, pallets.
