Hygiene without
efficiency
compromises.
Food and pharma operate under rules that don't exist in other sectors: daily washdown, full stainless steel, per-lot traceability, cold chain. We build systems that hold throughput without giving up on compliance.
Typical food / pharma pain points
What hurts food and pharma warehouses.
Recurring complaints we hear from operators with BRC, IFS, GMP+ or pharma GMP certifications.
Washdown blocks production
Equipment without IP55 certification can't take washdown — becomes hygiene blind spots, risks audit failure.
Water accumulation
Poorly drained designs create residual water zones — bacteria risk, audit risk, material recall.
Per-lot traceability
Mandatory lot recall. Without native tracking in WCS, a recall costs months and can shut down capacity.
Mandatory FEFO / FIFO
Expiry date dictates picking order. Manual = expired items entering the production line.
Unbroken cold chain
For frozen and chilled, every temperature gap = lost lot. The system has to work at −25°C.
Documentation audit
BRC, IFS, FDA, EMA — they want detailed logbooks. The system must generate them automatically, with no human effort.
Typical flow in a food / pharma DC
Five stations. All hygienic.
This is what a food or pharma DC automated by ZEDlog looks like. Each station uses CleanLine or stainless-only equipment.
Stainless receiving
CleanLine conveyors, lot scan + GS1 + entry temperature.
AS/RS storage
Automatic FEFO, temperature separation, per-tote tracking.
Hygienic picking
Goods-to-person, ergonomic, no direct contact with goods.
Order consolidation
CleanLine with integrated washdown, manifest with lot per line.
Cold dispatch
Dock with insulated doors, pre-dispatch temperature recording.
Compliance
The standards that govern the industry.
All our equipment and processes align with baseline requirements of regulated industries.
HACCP
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points — systems designed for critical control point management.
EHEDG
European Hygienic Engineering Design Group — equipment certified for hygienic design.
GMP+
Good Manufacturing Practice — procedures and hardware that support GMP audit.
BRC · IFS
Automatic WCS logbook, audit-ready reporting per lot, expiry, temperature.
Typical results

Portfolio reference
Food processor · Romania · 2024.
"The 2024 BRC audit took two days less than the previous one. The whole report comes from the WCS — the auditor only asked once if the data was real. It was."
Audit-ready. Day one.
Send us the profile: temperatures, required certifications, product mix, volumes — we propose a compliant stainless stack within 10 working days.
