Case Study: Grupo Medina boosts beef storage automation with Interlake Mecalux

Elaborados Cárnicos Medina 66 Million Lb of Beef a Year in an Automatic Buffer

Grupo Medina’s Elaborados Cárnicos Medina, a leading beef producer in Spain, needed to modernize the temporary storage area in its Buñol plant to eliminate slow, manual pallet handling and better control ageing times, traceability, and cold-chain conditions. To address this, the company turned to Interlake Mecalux and its Easy WMS warehouse management system.

Interlake Mecalux implemented an automated box warehouse with conveyors and Easy WMS, integrating processing, ageing, cutting, and packaging in a fully automatic flow. The system now stores up to 680 boxes per hour in 16,416 locations, supports about 32,000 boxes at 36 °F, and has improved safety, traceability, inventory control, and overall throughput while preserving meat quality.
