Understanding the costs of purchasing and installing a vertical lift module is a key consideration when evaluating automated storage solutions. Vidir Solutions has released Vidir OS, a purpose-built software platform for automated vertical storage systems. It delivers unified inventory control, guided workflows, diagnostics, and system integration across its Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) lineup.
LEBANON, Pa., June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vidir Solutions has introduced Vidir OS, a purpose-built software platform for automated vertical storage systems and Vidir ASRS hardware, delivering a unified operational layer to warehouses and facilities across North America. The platform is already live across four systems — the Vertical Lift Module (VLM), Pan Carousel, Tire Carousel, and Dual-Tower Sheet Metal Vertical Lift System (VLS) — with more solutions actively being added.
What Does Vidir OS Add to an Automated Vertical Storage System?
Unlike generic warehouse management software adapted for ASRS use, Vidir OS was engineered specifically for Vidir hardware, ensuring that each connected system operates as intended. For operations buyers evaluating an automated vertical storage system for a warehouse, the platform introduces consistent capabilities across the lineup:
- Real-time inventory management: Accurate, up-to-the-moment stock visibility across all connected systems
- Guided operator workflows: Reduce picking errors and accelerate throughput with structured operator guidance
- Machine diagnostics: Monitor system health proactively to resolve issues before they interrupt operations
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)/Warehouse Management System (WMS) integration: Connect ASRS performance data directly to existing enterprise systems
- Enterprise security: Protect inventory data with controls built into the platform layer
“Your ASRS is only as powerful as the software running it,” Vidir Solutions explains.
Why Are Warehouses Turning to Automated Vertical Storage Systems?
Warehouses running out of floor space are turning to automated vertical storage systems to recover usable square footage, cut retrieval time, and reduce the labor demands of conventional racking and shelving. These systems maximize storage density by leveraging ceiling height rather than consuming floor area. When paired with robust, purpose-built software, they deliver measurable gains in picking speed, accuracy, and return on investment.
Vidir Solutions supports a wide range of industries and applications, from manufacturing and retail to automotive and beyond, with notable installations at major North American retailers, including Home Depot and Walmart. The company provides dependable after-sales support to help clients sustain performance over time.
