Consoveyo Singapore enters two key Asian markets

Consoveyo Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Consoveyo), part of Körber Logistics Systems, will work on new projects with Zuellig Pharma Vietnam Ltd (Zuellig Pharma) in Vietnam and Thai Tobacco Monopoly (TTM) in Thailand. For both undertakings, Consoveyo will provide automated logistical technologies in a total of three new warehouse installations. These solutions include Consoveyo’s Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), Conveyors, Rail Guided Vehicles and Lifter Systems including Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). A Warehouse Management System (WMS) will also be implemented by Inconso, a company under the Körber Logistics System.

Poul Lorentzen, General Manager at Consoveyo Singapore, shared, “Both projects are significant additions to Consoveyo’s growing list of references in Asia. Vietnam and Thailand are important markets for Consoveyo, and we are proud that Consoveyo is becoming increasingly recognized by leading companies in both countries. These two projects also showcase Consoveyo’s capabilities in tailoring our first-in-class automated warehousing solutions, and demonstrate our abilities to support various industries and different clients.”

Marking Consoveyo’s first foray into Vietnam, the project with Zuellig Pharma saw Consoveyo providing an efficient transport system within the client’s new warehouse in Ho Chi Minh City. To increase warehouse efficiency, Zuellig Pharma had to ensure that its pharmaceutical products can move between floors effortlessly.

Proposing a modified conveyor and lifter solution for Zuellig Pharma, Consoveyo provided two units of pallet lifters with safety interlocks and buffer conveyors for pallet input and output. Consoveyo also ensured that its solution could interface directly with supplemented pallet jacks or forklifts. In addition to supplying and installing its conveying solutions, Consoveyo provided Zuellig Pharma’s warehouse operators with training, allowing them to achieve higher levels of warehouse productivity.

A spokesperson at Zuellig Pharma shared, “This warehouse plays a crucial part in our overall Reach and Access corporate strategy to focus on making healthcare more accessible to all Vietnamese. With Consoveyo’s comprehensive solution and support, we are now one step closer to our goal.”

TTM

Commissioned by TTM to integrate a full turnkey solution, Consoveyo introduced its ASRS technology to two warehouses – one for raw material storage and the other for finished tobacco products. Conveyor systems will be integrated as the main form of transportation. Additionally, the entire process has built-in alternative flows to ensure system redundancy and flexibility.

Raw materials will first be retrieved from a separate building via link bridge conveyors. Consoveyo’s conveyor systems then transfers the inventory in a fully automated process to the raw materials ASRS warehouse. The raw materials will then be sent to the production area when required.

After production, the cases of finished goods will be delivered via overhead conveyors to the finished goods ASRS area, where they will be automatically sorted, palletized, and stored using RFID technology. Integrated in both storage facilities, Consoveyo’s RFID technology will provide easy identification and fuss-free storage management.

Consoveyo will optimize TTM’s overall workflow by implementing Inconso’s WMS, enabling the client to achieve warehouse efficiency. In addition, the WMS offers TTM the visibility needed to manage its inventory flows. This ensures an effective method for the company to control inventory and track the transfer and storage of raw materials and finished tobacco products across both warehouses.

Poul Lorentzen said, “We firmly believe in offering our clients with the most cost-effective yet high-quality automated warehousing solutions to support their warehouse operations. Companies from various industries are realizing that automated warehousing technologies mitigates warehouse challenges and provides a host of benefits such as increased productivity. Both projects represent new milestones for Consoveyo, and we hope to continue this momentum, providing our clients with the best in warehouse logistics support.”
