Intralogistics solutions for pharma and fresh foods
Pharma and fresh foods share three critical requirements: strict rotation, traceability and controlled temperature. At DEVA, we design operations that guarantee FIFO/FEFO flow, expiration date control and reliable performance even in the cold chain, integrating storage, automation and software with real-time inventory visibility.

FIFO/FEFO rotation and expiration date control
We ensure natural inventory rotation with Pallet Flow racking and Carton Flow, dynamic systems where the first product in is the first out (FIFO), an ideal foundation for operating under FEFO (first expired, first out). They reduce travel and picking times, make expiration date control easier and raise productivity in pharma, food and consumer goods.
Storage and automation in cold rooms
Our solutions operate in low-temperature environments: four-way shuttle systems come in versions for cold rooms with automatic charging inside the warehouse itself, while stacker cranes (SRM) operate reliably down to -30 °C, maintaining the cold chain without sacrificing density or speed.
High density with organized, traceable access
We combine selective racking for direct access to every SKU with high-density systems when the volume justifies it, optimizing space without compromising order or lot traceability.
Document and inventory control
For pharmaceutical products and operations that require organized safekeeping of documents or small parts, the mobile shelving system concentrates large volumes in less space. And WMS software provides the lot control, expiration date control and real-time inventory visibility these regulated industries need.

Frequently asked questions
- What is FEFO and why does it matter in pharma and food?
- FEFO ("first expired, first out") prioritizes shipping the product closest to expiration. It is key to avoiding losses from expired product; it relies on FIFO storage systems and a WMS that controls lots and dates.
- Which storage systems work in the cold chain?
- Pallet flow racking, four-way shuttles with a cold-storage version and AS/RS (case shuttles and SRM stacker cranes) operate reliably down to -30 °C.
- How is lot traceability guaranteed?
- With WMS software that records the location, lot and expiration date of every unit and provides real-time inventory visibility, integrated with the storage and automation systems.
