The service
Modernisation services for a future-ready warehouse
Mecalux supports its clients as their business evolves. We guide them in transforming their intralogistics operations to meet market demands and supply chain requirements. Drawing on its extensive experience designing and developing storage systems, Mecalux assesses each organisation’s specific needs. It then provides fully customised solutions that respond to critical challenges such as process automation and operational digitalisation. Warehouse modernisation helps prevent obsolescence and future-proofs facilities by implementing cutting-edge technological solutions. This transformation optimises operations and expands intralogistics capabilities.
Benefits of warehouse modernisation
- Maximum upgrading: modernising storage systems boosts warehouse efficiency, reliability and stability. It keeps facilities up to date with state-of-the-art technology and reduces the risk of obsolescence.
- Extended lifecycle: replacing parts, introducing improvements and regularly updating warehouse control systems help extend the durability of the facility’s automated equipment.
- Performance optimisation: increasing storage capacity and introducing innovative solutions for continuous process improvement help logistics centres adapt to changing scenarios.
- Tailored solutions: warehouse redesign and upgrade services are fully customised to meet clients’ requirements. Projects are organised to minimise interference with routine facility operations.
- Comprehensive modernisation: Mecalux’s services cover the entire renovation, from consultancy and the design of the personalised solution to implementation and ongoing technical support and lifecycle services.
Modernisation solutions
Custom projects that transform warehouses to boost growth
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, Mecalux designs and carries out modernisation projects that boost performance, increase productivity and extend the warehouse’s lifespan.
Technological improvement and upgrading
Automated systems face risks that can threaten their service life, such as the obsolescence of certain parts or components. 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 maximise operational efficiency throughout their lifecycle.
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. Mecalux offers its clients an extensive catalogue of state-of-the-art automation solutions that adapt seamlessly to multiple intralogistics scenarios. These solutions drive the ongoing technological transformation of the warehouse.
Software expansion and updates
The modular architecture of 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 optimise 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.
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. 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.
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, 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.
