At Interlake Mecalux our goal is to assist you with the three key factors in logistics operations: inventory control, order management & organization of human resources to reach your objectives.
Supply chain efficiency ensures that goods are delivered to customers in the agreed-upon conditions and without incurring cost overruns. With automation and digitalization technologies, companies can deliver the desired service to customers with agility and without making mistakes.
Side loader forklifts are handling equipment designed to move extra-long goods through a warehouse. Side loader forklifts are ideal for safely transporting products such as wooden planks, metal rods, profiles, and pipes.
Warehouse space management: lack of space is one of logistics managers’ main concerns — and even more so with the rise of ecommerce. High-density storage systems and digitization are two go-to solutions for overcoming space issues in a logistics facility.
The arrival of the Christmas season has major consequences for logistics, namely increased sales and online orders. Having flexible logistics operations adapted to changes in demand is the key to providing efficient service during peak demand.
Stock coverage is a numeric value that shows how many days a warehouse can fulfill orders according to current demand. To calculate it, you divide the amount of stock available in the facility by the average demand for a given period.
Sustainable procurement consists of purchasing the supplies required to sell and manufacture products efficiently and sustainably. Companies that practice sustainable procurement reduce costs and improve the quality and control of their products.
Cold storage warehousing consists of managing products such as food and pharmaceuticals at a controlled temperature to ensure their proper preservation. Cold stores are equipped with storage systems that provide greater energy efficiency.
The maximum stock level consists of the largest volume of goods a company can manage in its warehouse at the lowest possible cost. For businesses, managing a large number of items requires sufficient storage space, staff, and seamless coordination with suppliers.
EDI in logistics ensures seamless, standardized communication between all links in the supply chain. In addition to streamlining and speeding up processes, this solution prevents errors that could be made by exchanging information in paper format.
Warehouse lighting is an essential issue when it comes to facilitating the work of operators and ensuring their safety. The type of lights to install will depend on the characteristics of the logistics facility, the existence of natural light, and the operations performed.
Reverse logistics examples: in this post, we examine five strategies for organizing returns received by companies from their customers. This operation encompasses practices and processes for managing product returns and returns from the point of sale to the manufacturer.
Seismic racking consists of structures specifically designed to resist earthquakes. In countries with a very high risk of earthquakes, warehouse racking must be reinforced to withstand ground motion.
First-mile delivery begins when an order enters the system and ends when it is loaded onto the transport truck. Its optimization is key to ensuring that the rest of the supply chain operations, especially last-mile delivery, are competitive and profitable.
Takt time denotes the time that should be used to manufacture a product in order to meet customer demand. To calculate it, divide the time available for producing a good by the number of units ordered by the customer.
Physical inventory comprises the manual counting of all the stock in a warehouse (raw materials, finished products, packaging, etc.). It serves to verify that the digital records in the warehouse management system (WMS) match the actual goods in the facility.
Efficient supply chain flows ensure that a product is delivered to the customer without error, in the shortest time, and at the lowest cost. Automating both your facility’s operations and management is your best bet when it comes to a competitive supply chain flow.
The use of warehouse drones to carry out inventory management helps to ensure efficient stock control. Connected to the WMS, they reduce costs and time, optimize resources, and improve safety and efficiency in inventory management.
AIoT: AI and the Internet of Things are technologies that will change Industry 4.0. But what effect do they have when used together? In this post, we analyze the AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things), its advantages, and its applications in the warehouse.
Product traceability: why is it so important? Poor control of inflows, outflows, and of the condition of the goods can lead to serious mistakes and cost overruns for the company. In this post, we underscore the need to provide real product quality control in each logistics phase.
In logistics, a warehouse staging area is a rack-free zone usually located in front of the loading docks where goods are placed temporarily on the floor, waiting to be transported to another location. In this post, we describe its main functions and the amount of space each installation needs for the staging area.
