Case Study: Finieco boosts paper bag warehouse automation with Interlake Mecalux

Automated Management of 1.5 Million Paper Bags a Day

Finieco, one of Europe’s largest paper bag manufacturers based in Santo Tirso, Portugal, needed to expand storage and tighten inventory control as production climbed to more than 1.5 million paper bags a day. To support this growth, vendor Interlake Mecalux proposed an automated warehouse solution using the Pallet Shuttle system served by a stacker crane, along with its Easy WMS warehouse management system.

Interlake Mecalux implemented a high-density, automated installation with two racking units and a single aisle, maximizing available space and enabling storage for 4,990 pallets in just 18,300 ft². The solution also connected production to the warehouse by conveyor and streamlined dispatch operations, while Easy WMS improved stock control, reduced errors, and coordinated goods flow and order preparation with the ERP.
