This year Mouser installed 102 Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs), most by any company in the Western Hemisphere and the fourth largest VLM installation in the world. VLMs are essentially huge vertical filing cabinets with shelves and an automatic elevator to bring the components to the employee’s workplace. This increases efficiency and floor space, and can reduce an employee’s walking time by 45 percent or more.
In addition, the distribution center has several Ultipack and I-Pack machines, a sophisticated automated system for sealing and labeling shipments that can process up to 14 orders per minute. Mouser is also currently installing an OPEX Perfect Pick system and an AutoStore system – all of these investments are aimed at ensuring that orders are processed, picked, packed and shipped in the shortest possible time.
“As automation technology moves at a rapid pace, so do warehousing and logistics,” said Pete Shopp, senior vice president of business operations at Mouser Electronics. “The resulting efficiency in order picking and packaging helps us achieve our goal of providing exceptional customer service.”

Mouser’s vast global distribution center, located on the 78 acre campus of its corporate headquarters in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, manages a vast inventory of more than 1.1 million unique SKUs for products from over 1,100 manufacturer brands.
