Case Study: Michelin achieves automated warehouse productivity with Interlake Mecalux

Automated Rack Supported Warehouse of Michelin in Vitoria Integrated Manufacturing

Michelin, the tire manufacturer, expanded its Vitoria, Spain production center to keep up with rising output and needed a way to store rubber containers more efficiently within limited space. The company chose Interlake Mecalux to design and build a turnkey automated warehouse solution, integrated with manufacturing and tailored to Michelin’s metal containers.

Interlake Mecalux implemented a 27-meter-high clad-rack warehouse with conveyors, stacker cranes, transfer cars, lifts, and warehouse management software to automate container flow between production and dispatch. The system provides 4,590-container storage capacity, handles up to 240 containers per hour, and operates 24/7, improving space utilization, traceability, and dispatch productivity for Michelin.
