Domaines Paul Mas: their needs
Created in the year 2000 by Jean-Claude
Mas Montagnac (Hérault), the company has
become, in just a single decade, one of the
most reputable businesses in the wine industry in Southern France.
Due to its relentless growth, the company had to increase storage capacity but encountered the problem of not being able
to extend the surface of the warehouse.
The only possible solution was to optimize
the available space and, at the same time,
automate those logistics processes that
would enable improved profitability of the
installation. This is exactly why Domaines
Paul Mas put their trust in Mecalux for
this project.
The solution
After analyzing the needs of Domaines
Paul Mas, they opted to divide the logis-
tics center into three areas and install vari-
ous storage solutions in each of them, tak-
ing into account the characteristics of each
product and its operations. In the reserved
stock sector for dry materials (corks, foils,
cardboard boxes, etc.) they have installed
three storage systems. At one end, there
is a mezzanine floor of two levels and, op-
posite, three aisles have been enabled with
single-deep pallet racking. Here, pick-
ing takes place directly at the lower levels,
depositing reserve pallets at higher levels.
In addition, it also has a 24’ high automated
vertical warehouse with 36 trays for the la-
bels and back labels of the bottles.
In the second and third cell of the Domaines
Paul Mas warehouse, finished products from
the bottling line are housed. To store a large
number of pallets of the same SKU, they have
erected high-density pallet racking served
by shuttles. The two areas are connected
by double doors that allow the passage of
forklifts.
Also in cell 2 there are five aisles of single-deep pallet racking. The two loading
docks run both the reception of the incoming goods from the outside, and outgoing
orders for customers.
