What are the company’s main areas of activity?
At MIM Patchwork Service, we focus on the automation of intralogistics processes for warehouses and distribution centers in the following sectors:
- Fashion: The growth of e-commerce has driven demand for efficient storage, transportation, and handling solutions that facilitate fast deliveries and continuous product availability.
- Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics: The requirements of this sector, such as handling sensitive products and ensuring error-free deliveries multiple times a day, call for advanced storage and picking solutions that guarantee precision and efficiency.
- Industry: The flow of materials from warehouses to production plants requires increasingly efficient solutions. We develop systems that effectively manage manual, automated, and semi-automated processes.
- Storage and distribution: With the combination of physical and online channels, we design solutions that enable fast, error-free deliveries to multiple pickup or delivery points, helping companies of all types adapt to new market demands.
- Food and beverages: The diversification of products and packaging has increased the need for advanced solutions for storage and order preparation. We offer a wide range of systems, including conveyors, picking, handling, and specialized software.
What are the latest developments in new products/services?
At MIM Patchwork Service, we combine proven intralogistics automation tools, such as sorters, conveyors, and other systems, with the latest technological innovations. Among the latest advancements we’ve introduced is our own Artificial Intelligence (AI) system and sorting software for industrial automation, which has allowed us to transform our industrial maintenance and automation services. Additionally, we have integrated new robotic solutions and compact systems that combine multiple functionalities within a very small space.
What are the ranges of products/services?
- At MIM Patchwork Service, we offer a wide range of products for intralogistics automation.
- Light and heavy conveyors: We provide gravity roller conveyors, motorized, and belt conveyors that ensure fast and efficient transportation of all types of goods. These systems are fully configurable and adaptable to the needs of each warehouse. We offer overhead, telescopic, chain, vertical, and spiral models. We always work with trusted suppliers like Interroll, Ambaflex, and Qimarox to ensure the quality and reliability of our mechanical solutions.
- Sorters: These are key tools for the fast and reliable transport of unit loads between 35 and 50 kg. In collaboration with Interroll, we offer various models, such as vertical and horizontal cross-belt sorters, capable of handling up to 20,000 items per hour. We also offer pop-up sorters, whose modular design allows them to adapt to different environments and logistical needs.
- Robotics: We integrate advanced robotics systems like Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), which increase productivity, eliminate errors, and improve product traceability. These solutions provide greater accuracy and efficiency in logistics management.
- Compact devices for measuring, weighing, sorting, and product tracking: Our ‘MPW-24/VP’ system can perform all these functions in less than a second, thanks to a combination of cutting-edge technology.
What is the current state of the market in which you are active?
The global intralogistics automation market is experiencing exponential growth, driven by the rise of e-commerce and the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies. Recent years have already seen rapid growth, and as projected by entities like Market Research Intellect, significant and continuous expansion is expected through 2031. Intralogistics automation has become a fundamental tool for companies looking to optimize their processes and remain competitive in an increasingly demanding market.
What can you tell us about market trends?
Automated sorting systems are evolving from static, standard solutions to modular options that can be fully tailored to the specific needs of each client. These new solutions must allow for quick adjustments in operational capacity to respond to demand peaks, as well as periods of low activity, while constantly optimizing resource use.
Current trends focus on digitalization and continuous innovation toward solutions that enable production to adjust to demand; reduce initial investment by avoiding oversized infrastructure; adapt systems to market fluctuations, optimizing resources and costs; and feature modular, scalable designs that allow for gradual expansion as the business grows.
What are the most innovative products/services you offer?
At MIM Patchwork Service, we are always striving to offer innovative products and services. One of our most significant advancements is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our industrial maintenance and process automation services. This technology, integrated with our own system connectivity platform, Robomap, optimizes the performance of our devices and provides historical operational data with unprecedented precision and efficiency. This allows us to offer a more effective and robust service to our clients.
Another of our most innovative products is the ‘MPW-24/VP’ device, a compact system capable of measuring, weighing, sorting, and recording goods in less than a second. This tool incorporates radio-frequency identification (RFID), electronic weighing, 3D visual measurement, and high-precision cameras. Additionally, this system, which reduces handling, sorting, and distribution times by up to 67%, requires only 4 square meters for installation and is compatible with other solutions.
