Top-quality technical training to optimise Mecalux systems
Mecalux’s courses are taught by experienced instructors specialising in warehouse personnel training. They can be conducted on-site (at the client’s facilities) or remotely via digital platforms. The programmes are fully customised to meet each company’s specific requirements, combining theoretical sessions with practical exercises for a dynamic, interactive approach.
Equipment handling courses
Training programmes for the personnel responsible for operating Mecalux systems. Courses are tailored to the client’s needs and the specific features of each facility. They provide a detailed overview of the operation of all equipment installed, including key electromechanical characteristics and fundamental warehouse control system concepts. This training equips staff with the skills to operate the storage and material handling solutions effectively, independently and without errors. The goal is to optimise performance and maximise equipment availability to achieve its full potential.
Software operation courses
Training for teams that manage Mecalux’s logistics software solutions, such as the Easy WMS warehouse management system. Using customised test environments that facilitate the practical application of acquired knowledge, personnel receive comprehensive training in configuring the software and using its key tools and features. The result is a swift and efficient system deployment. There are two types of programmes: basic, for staff involved in daily software operations, and advanced, recommended for strategic roles such as area managers, key users and supervisors.
Maintenance courses
Training programmes designed to equip personnel with the skills to plan and perform basic, reactive and preventive maintenance tasks. They complement the advanced actions carried out by Mecalux’s specialist technicians. These courses focus on developing the ability to identify, diagnose and resolve minor issues independently or with assistance. Maintenance team training enhances the continuous monitoring of warehouse conditions. Additionally, it speeds up response times to failures and anomalies, ensuring rapid troubleshooting or prompt reporting to Mecalux’s technical support team.
