DHL helps Tetra Pak implement innovative warehouse in Asia
DHL Supply Chain has implemented an integrated supply chain solution for Tetra Pak’s warehouse in Singapore. This is the first smart warehouse for DHL in Asia Pacific to deploy the digital twin technology, which involves using digital models to better understand and manage physical assets.
Jerome Gillet, CEO, DHL Supply Chain Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, said: “By jointly implementing a digital solution to support Tetra Pak’s warehousing and transport operations, this collaboration is a great example for smart warehouses of the future to deliver agile, cost effective and scalable supply chain operations.”
Combining the internet of things technology with data analytics, DHL Supply Chain has created a smart warehouse solution for Tetra Pak by bridging its physical warehouse with a unique virtual representation that monitors and simulates both the physical state and behaviour of the warehouse assets in real time. With this digital twin solution, Tetra Pak is able to maintain 24/7 coordination of its operations to resolve issues as they occur, particularly those that involve safety and productivity. (mw)
