Modernization solutions

Custom projects that transform warehouses to boost growth

Interlake Mecalux offers its clients a wide range of services designed to adapt their facilities to ongoing market and supply chain changes. Based on a thorough assessment of each company’s needs, Interlake Mecalux designs and carries out modernization projects that boost performance, increase productivity, and extend the warehouse’s lifespan.

Upgrading storage system technology prevents obsolescence

Technological improvement and upgrading

Automated systems face risks that can threaten their service life, such as the obsolescence of certain parts or components. Interlake Mecalux offers improvement solutions to cover numerous scenarios. They include updating electromechanical components, deploying the latest versions of warehouse control systems, and replacing equipment throughout the facility. These actions extend the useful life of the systems and maximize operational efficiency throughout their lifecycle.

Automating manual operations optimizes warehouse efficiency

Automation of manual operations

Companies often limit their competitiveness and growth potential when they rely on manual processes that could be automated (e.g., box/pallet storage and retrieval, internal goods transport, and order picking). Adopting automated and semi-automated storage and material handling systems increases operational efficiency, flexibility, and productivity. Interlake Mecalux offers its clients an extensive catalog of state-of-the-art automation solutions that adapt seamlessly to multiple intralogistics scenarios. These solutions drive the ongoing technological transformation of the warehouse.

Expanding the capabilities of Interlake Mecalux’s intralogistics software improves its performance

Software expansion and updates

The modular architecture of Interlake Mecalux’s logistics software solutions allows for the simple, quick deployment of advanced functionalities and modules. Capabilities can easily be expanded to meet new demands and optimize performance. Moreover, license maintenance plans ensure the software’s compatibility with new versions of operating systems and databases. Similarly, the remote maintenance service supports continuous monitoring of system status for immediate issue detection and resolution.

Adding on to a facility increases storage capacity

Warehouse expansion

With growing business volumes and the addition of new products, companies face logistics demands such as increasing storage capacity or enhancing warehouse performance. Interlake Mecalux’s scalable systems provide clients with the flexibility to redesign their facilities and adapt to growth. These expansions are easy to implement and cause minimal disruption to routine warehouse operations.

The warehouse relocation service moves storage systems to a different site

Warehouse relocation and reconfiguration

Growth sometimes compels companies to completely rearrange their facility layout or move operations to a different building. To address these needs, Interlake Mecalux offers a comprehensive warehouse relocation service. It covers the dismantling, reassembly, and commissioning of storage systems at the new site, whether within the current facility or in a new one.
