Polímeros y Derivados, a Mexican manufacturer of technologies for producing nonwoven fabrics, has implemented Mecalux’s Easy WMS warehouse management system at its finished goods center in León, Guanajuato. The system is intended to provide full traceability of the company’s material rolls, streamline warehouse operations and support customer service, replacing manual inventory procedures.
For years, the company relied on manual processes supported by ERP software to run its large facility. The manufacturer, which serves customers in the automotive, cleaning, construction and plastic tarpaulin sectors, turned to Mecalux specialists to optimize its logistics operations and eliminate manual inventory procedures.
Easy WMS integrates with Microsoft Dynamics ERP and manages multiple orders daily, each containing up to 40 lines. Because the system adapts to Polímeros y Derivados’ two-dimensional labeling system, RF devices capture information such as product dimensions, lot numbers, serial numbers and customer codes. This ensures accurate identification of pallets arriving from production.
Compatibility with the manufacturer’s internal quality control procedures was another priority. The data captured by Easy WMS, which is used in hundreds of warehouses worldwide according to the company, was aligned with Polímeros y Derivados’ information management framework.
The implementation has streamlined the tracking of the company’s large rolls of nonwoven fabric, which are used across multiple industries. Polímeros y Derivados has replaced manual processes previously managed through color coding with a computerized, scalable system aligned with its growth strategy. In addition, Easy WMS’s Supply Chain Analytics capability provides detailed visibility into warehouse performance, facilitating operational decision-making.
Founded in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, more than 65 years ago, Polímeros y Derivados specializes in manufacturing nonwoven fabrics. The company uses a variety of production methods, including dry-laid, wet-laid and air-laid. Its customers span the footwear, automotive, cleaning, construction and plastic tarpaulin sectors.
