Products & services
HaiPick Climb
The HaiPick Climb system, powered by the HaiClimber robot, revolutionizes goods-to-person warehouse automation with advanced technology in a compact, efficient design. The HaiClimber uses two climbing arms to connect to a guide rail on one side of the rack, halving connection points compared to traditional climbing systems. This reduces maintenance, ensures greater reliability, and simplifies installation by lowering precision requirements for racks and floors. As a result, HaiPick Climb is ideal for retrofitting existing warehouses or enhancing newly built facilities. Designed for flexibility and speed, the HaiClimber navigates low-precision environments at up to 4 meters per second (13+ feet per second), moving freely up, down, and beneath racks to effortlessly access any tote in the warehouse. With order delivery to picking stations within 2 minutes—34% faster than typical ASRS—it achieves up to 4,000 tote deliveries per hour from just 1,000 m² (10,763+ square feet) of storage, maximizing throughput and storage density. HaiPick Climb is a simplified, high-performance evolution of traditional ASRS, eliminating costly complexity while delivering superior efficiency and scalability.
Modula Flexibox
Flexibox is the automated vertical warehouse that manages your bins, processing up to 180 bins per hour to manage hundreds of order lines simultaneously. It is ideal for order management, kitting and warehousing, because it brings to the operator in the bay only the required products inside the bins, combining them intelligently thanks to the WMS software that governs the process. Once the order has been launched from the management system, the Flexibox warehouse receives the order and prepares all the bins containing the products needed to complete the order by transporting them into the bay to the operator, who can pick up several bins at the same time. The picking of the bins takes place inside the machine. A central elevator picks up the bins from the warehouse one at a time, according to order requirements, places them with a telescopic fork onto a service tray and, after filling it, brings it to the bay, making all contents accessible to the operator. According to the machine model, the number of bins that are prepared in the bay can vary from 3 to 9 depending on the tray width. Scalable, flexible, fast and modular, it is the ideal solution for processing orders quickly and accurately.
Total system integrations
When optimizing your warehouse, different products often come into play. The logistics engineers at Vanas ensure that you have a scalable total solution in which we combine our solutions, software and services.
Storage Systems
Vertical dynamic storagesystems work according to the "goods-to-man" principle. An automated machine brings the requested item to the user at an ergonomic height. Thanks to the utilization of the entire building, up to 90% can be safed in space. Vanas Engineering has a range of vertical storage towers and lifts. A vertical lift works like a sort of automated drwaer cabinet where the height of each drawer is measured before it is placed in the lift. This way the drawers never take up too much soace and the space can be used optimally. The parts or products are stored dust-free and are offered to the employee at an ergonomic height. Because the products are brought to the employee, he or she doesn't have to walk long distances and they do not have to search long for certain products. This way you can work up to 4 times faster.
Sorting systems
The Sure Sort® is an automated warehouse sorting system that can instantly solve all your most important issues for your warehouse.
Packaging machines
Our packaging machines help you save time and reduce costs by packing boxes automatically. Their flexibility makes them suitable for light to heavy loads and we offer both automatic and fully automatic options. The machines are easy to integrate with existing end-of-line solutions, such as weigh stations and roller conveyors. They are also designed with user-friendly interfaces for quick adjustments and ensure durable, consistent, high-quality packaging. Whether you need a compact solution or a fully automated system, Vanas has the expertise and technology to meet your specific requirements.
Internal conveying systems
Vanas Engineering also offers solutions for internal transport. We take care of the routine of your products within the warehouse and coordinate the various order picking systems. With this we can realize cost savings and increase the productivity in your warehouse. You can come to us for a wide range of roller conveyors and accessories. Among other things, we offer lineshaft roller conveyors, motorized conveyors, gravity roller conveyors, belt conveyors and flexible roller conveyors. Our roller conveyors have a long service life thanks to the lineshaft system. With this system, a central shaft drives each roll separately with the help of strings. The strings are attached to the central axis by means of an extra wheel. When a bin comes to a standstill, the roll will also be able to stand still. The roll then offers resistance so that the string and the extra roll will stand still. The central axis can still continue to rotate. Thanks to this type of drive, some of these systems have been running without maintenance for 18 years. With other systems, the strings hang directly on the central shaft, which keeps the rollers turning even when there is extra resistance due to a stationary container. This will cause the strings to wear out faster.
Print and apply units
The Vanas Print and Apply Unit provides a fast and efficient way to automatically apply labels to your products, essential for a smooth logistics process. Our units are designed for maximum reliability and performance, minimizing manual errors and allowing you to focus on your core business.

Storeganizer: storage system with vertical textile compartements
There is often a loss of space with traditional storage racks because there is a lot of air between the products and the pallet above it. You can easily solve this with the storeganizer. This storage system with vertical textile compartments ensures optimum storage capacity both in height and in dept. The storeganizer is a unique hanging storage system that fits into any existing pallet rack. The system is innovative and ensures that users can store small goods efficiently in hanging locations. This way you gain a lot of space in m³. The textile compartments can be hung up to three rows deep and can be moved left or right so that you always have easy access to the rows in the back.
