Polímeros y Derivados, a Mexican manufacturer of nonwoven fabric technologies, has implemented Mecalux’s Easy WMS warehouse management system at its finished goods facility in León, Guanajuato.
The company serves several industries, including automotive, cleaning, construction and plastic tarpaulins. Previously, it relied on manual processes supported by ERP software to manage its warehouse operations.
However, the growing need for accurate inventory records and better product tracking led the company to upgrade its warehouse management. Its main goals were to improve traceability of nonwoven fabric rolls, reduce manual inventory work and strengthen customer service.
To achieve these goals, Polímeros y Derivados worked with Mecalux specialists to improve its logistics operations and introduce a digital inventory management system.
Easy WMS integrates with Microsoft Dynamics ERP
Easy WMS connects with the company’s Microsoft Dynamics ERP system. It also manages multiple orders each day, with some orders containing up to 40 lines.
The system supports the manufacturer’s two-dimensional labelling process. As a result, radio frequency (RF) devices can capture key product information, including dimensions, lot numbers, serial numbers and customer codes.
This data helps warehouse teams identify pallets arriving from production more accurately. It also supports product tracking throughout warehouse operations.
Digital system supports quality control
Polímeros y Derivados also needed the new system to work with its existing quality control procedures.
To meet this requirement, the company aligned the data captured by Easy WMS with its internal information management framework. This allows the warehouse system to support existing quality processes while improving access to product information.
Computerised tracking replaces manual processes
The implementation has changed how the company tracks its large rolls of nonwoven fabric. Previously, warehouse teams used colour coding and manual procedures to identify and manage inventory.
Now, Easy WMS provides a computerised and scalable system for product tracking. This change supports more accurate inventory management and helps the company prepare its warehouse operations for future growth.
In addition, the system includes Supply Chain Analytics. This capability provides detailed information about warehouse performance and gives managers better visibility into daily operations.
With access to this data, the company can make more informed operational decisions and monitor warehouse processes more effectively.
Improving warehouse efficiency and customer service
By adopting Easy WMS, Polímeros y Derivados has taken a further step towards warehouse digitalisation. The system combines product identification, inventory tracking and performance data in one management platform.
As a result, the manufacturer can improve traceability, reduce reliance on manual inventory procedures and support its customer service operations.
