The Grupo Siro
clad-rack warehouse
allows for streamlined
work processes, with
minimal operating costs
The logistics center is strategically lo-
cated within a 1.86 mile radius of four of
its main factories and less than 62 miles
away from the other three, which facili-
tates and speeds up the transport of loads
between them all. The flow of movements
is very intense and continuous, so two re-
ception docks are fitted on one side of the
warehouse, separated from the nine dis-
patch docks. This set up avoids interference
between the two operations, with ample
space allowing a more dynamic movement
of the transport maneuvers and the trucks
on standby.
The building annexed to the warehouse
consists of two different floors to optimally
organize the various operations carried out:
- The lower level is primarily set aside for
the receipt and dispatch of the goods,
with a wide preloads area on the floor.
- On the top floor, the pallets from the
docks at the lower level enter into the
warehouse. There is also an area dedicated to picking tasks.
(Palencia) with two very clear premises:
improve the storage capacity of its plants
and promote high company productivity.
The proposed solution
The technical department of Mecalux, in
collaboration with the Siro Group logistics
team, analyzed the needs, constraints and
means in detail, and finally found the ideal solution: building a 118’ high clad-rack
warehouse served by stacker cranes and
conveyors, all managed by the Mecalux
Easy WMS warehouse management
system.
