New custom-made equipment for a customer in the parapharmacy sector

PRODEX, part of the MAVENTIS group, recently delivered a turnkey project for a company in the parapharmaceutical sector. Objective: to optimize logistics performance with customized dynamic shelving that combines efficiency, ergonomics, and design.

A concrete response to the logistical challenges of the parapharmaceutical sector

Against a backdrop of sustained growth in the parapharmacy market, companies in the sector are faced with demands for rapid order preparation, precise inventory management, and ergonomic workstations. To meet these requirements, one of the major players in the sector called on PRODEX to redesign its logistics facility.

Objectives:

  • Optimize order picking operations,
  • Reduce unnecessary travel,
  • Improve operator comfort,
  • Maintain a good appearance.

All this with one key requirement: integrating the equipment into existing facilities without disrupting workflow.

A customized logistics solution: PRODEX dynamic shelving

The PRODEX teams designed, manufactured, and installed deep-reach flow racking, specifically sized to the customer’s requirements with a custom paint finish.

Main features of the installation:

  • FIFO (First In – First Out) dynamic shelving, allowing direct access to products, ideal for managing products with short shelf lives or requiring rapid turnover.
  • Robustness through local manufacturing with high-quality materials
  • Color customization for seamless integration into the existing environment.
  • Optimized depth to maximize usable volume while facilitating picking.
  • Compatibility guaranteed with existing equipment and processes.

The result: a facility that is both functional and visually harmonious, integrating seamlessly into the customer’s supply chain.

The benefits of PRODEX dynamic shelving

Designed and manufactured in the PRODEX workshops in Brittany, this dynamic storage solution brings together the expertise of a company that has been recognized for over 70 years in the world of logistics equipment.

Here are the main benefits identified by the customer as soon as the system was put into service:

  • Significant reduction in picking times, thanks to direct front access to items;
  • Improved ergonomics, with adapted picking heights and reduced operator travel distances;
  • Reduced strain for operators, who no longer have to handle products against resistance;
  • Increased productivity through better organization of preparation areas;
  • Optimization of space by reducing corridors and maximizing usable depth.

Thanks to FIFO logic, operators always have the oldest products available first, which limits the risk of expiration—a particularly sensitive issue in the parapharmacy sector.

A project managed from start to finish by the PRODEX teams

From needs analysis to solution implementation, PRODEX handled the entire project in-house: feasibility study, design, manufacturing, delivery, and on-site installation.

This complete control of the value chain guarantees customers a high level of quality and responsiveness, while reducing deployment times.
