Case Study: Firat Food achieves streamlined picking with Interlake Mecalux storage and conveyor solutions

The French Food and Beverage Wholesaler Firat Food Combines Diverse Storage and Transport Solutions to Optimise Turnover and Picking

Firat Food, a food and beverage wholesaler in France, needed to reorganize its warehouse operations to streamline picking and reduce interference between goods flow and active picking aisles. Interlake Mecalux provided a solution built around selective pallet racking, a high-density Pallet Shuttle system, and a roller conveyor to connect the different warehouse areas.

Interlake Mecalux implemented a layout that routes incoming pallets from the docks through a 138-foot conveyor at 33 ft/min, feeds lower-turnover items into selective pallet racks, and stores consumer goods in the Pallet Shuttle system. The result was a more efficient, fast-moving warehouse with direct access for picking and over 3,200 pallet positions in selective racking plus 1,536 in the Pallet Shuttle area, improving throughput and speeding up inputs.
