Supply Chain aSia (SCa)The three main cores of SCA are connecting people from various sectors of the industry, encouraging communication amongst professionals and creating opportunities for collaborations. The four main pillars of the organisations are memberships, events, academy and publication.

SCA holds various events annually to provide networking and learning opportunities for the community. The organisation also provides training courses in the area of logistics and SCM, equipping attendees with skills that are applicable to the real working scenarios in the industry. As for membership, SCA aims to develop a close-knit community that continues to better itself by leveraging on SCA’s platform and services.

SCA publishes a bi-annual magazine that is available in April and September. The issue in September coincides with its annual Forum and Awards celebrations.

“It doesn’t get any easier. You only get better at it!” Fourteen years ago, when Supply Chain Asia (SCA) was conceived in an apartment somewhere in Bangkok, I would have never imagine that we will be where we are today. In the next two days, we will be hosting our largest

ever Forum, with an inaugural Innovation & Tech Expo that bring together emerging tech and solutions to showcase to the industry as well as our largest ever Awards celebration with almost 700 guests in attendance! SCA was founded on a simple premise – to bring people together to network, share and learn from each other. Everything that we have done since Day 1 brings us back to this simple thought. We are exclusive to no one and seek to maintain an open community platform to benefit everyone. In the midst of conducting our daily affairs, we have been misunderstood for many things – that we are aligned to specific companies or being commercially driven. Far from the truth as we seek only the best for the industry. As such, our role has evolved from a passive player of just collating information and news to an acute observer and activist role with an intent to bring benefits and changes to the community at large. In the last 24 months, we have deployed initiatives, such as the Supply Chain & Logistics Innovation Playground (SCLIP), designed and conducted several runs of the highly popular Industry 4.0 & Supply Chain Transformation Programme and facilitating the e-Commerce Supply Chain Professional Conversion Programme with support from Workforce Singapore. Today, we also host the Tech Accelerator Programme (TAP), which is supported by Enterprise Singapore. TAP’s main objective is to seek out new and emerging technologies developed by startups and bring them to the level of adoption – whether in trials, Proof of Concepts or full commercial deployment. The next few years will be an exciting journey as we aligned our efforts with the Supply Chain Employees Union (SCEU) of the National Trade Union Congress (NTUC) in Singapore. The formal alliance with SCEU will be signed on 10th September and together with them, we hope to bring more structured programmes to the supply chain and logistics professionals in both the local community in Singapore and beyond. For professionals working and located in Singapore, there will be added protection provided by SCEU through extending the union memberships to those who are paid members of SCA. To those who have been supportive of SCA since its inception, I want to extend my heartfelt and sincere thanks for your engagement and friendship. You know who you are and without whom, I know I would have never lasted these many years and grown to be where we are today. Enjoy your networking over the next two days. If you need help, do look out for me or our Young Ambassadors. We stand ready to assist and to ensure that all of you have a fruitful time with us.

Message

Welcome to the annual Supply Chain

Asia Forum 2019 and thank you for your

unwavering support over the last 14

years.

I am honoured to participate as the Chairman for the third

consecutive year and would like to take this opportunity

to thank our core team, specifically Paul Lim (President,

SCA), Emeritus Board of Advisors and the event organising

committee for their relentless focus and contribution that

made this event possible. This year’s event is quite special as

we have combined two key events, the annual SCA Forum

and the high-profile SCA Awards.

As the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of Moon landing

this year, we pay tribute to the entire team that made this

single greatest achievement in human history possible.

NASA had to experiment and engineer new technologies

that required over 7.5 million pounds of thrust to launch the

rocket and payload equivalent to 50 Jumbo 747s into orbit.

Kudos to the supply chain professionals for the coordination

and innovation in distribution and logistics, as mission critical

parts were manufactured and sourced at several locations

and assembled — just in time — with precise and flawless

execution. Remember, there were no mobile phones, fax

machines, emails or personal computers at that time!

We have since come a long way. In the connected world

today, Supply Chain visibility and collaboration remains high

on the agenda for global organisations in order to improve

customer experience, reduce costs and boost operational

efficiency. Disruption is everywhere with new technologies,

such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Robotics,

Autonomous Vehicles, Industrial Internet of Things and very

soon, 5G.

At the same time, there are uncertainties due to trade tensions.

As some of you may have noted, the International Monetary

Fund advised more work is needed to reduce global trade

imbalances and issued a recent warning that such conflicts

are weighing on the global economy.

We will be focusing on these new developments and

disruptive technologies in greater detail under the main theme

“Digitisation of the Supply Chain World”, with global experts

sharing their perspectives and solutions to collaborate and

progress as one industry.

My team and I look forward to hosting you at SCA Forum 2019,

and we wish you a wonderful time at the event.

Supply Chain Asia Tech Accelerator Program (TAP)Overview Supply chain and logistics developments in the world have undergone major transformations over the last few years. With constant new technology inventions and ongoing disruptions, the sector has to strive to achieve new ways to meet today’s challenges and reach its potential.

Tech Accelerator Program The Supply Chain Asia Tech Accelerator Program (TAP) is an evolution of the Supply Chain & Logistics Innovation Playground (SCLIP) initiative. TAP is designed to support startups and enterprises with less than 5 years of existence in the curation, promotion, showcasing, adoption and implementation of innovation tech solutions impacting the supply chain and logistics industry.

Awards Brief Into its fourteenth year, the Supply Chain Asia (SCA) Awards continues to keep its prestige and value through recognition of

individuals as well as corporation contributions to the growth and development of the industry.

This year’s awards celebration is held together with its annual Forum and expected to draw record attendance to the event.

Various traditional awards have also been included in this year’s recognition ceremony.

Individual Recognition Awards SCA offers a platform to recognise individual contributions to their companies and communities. Individuals are nominated by

industry professionals, community members and SCA Awards committee members.

Corporate AwardsSCA offers two core awards for corporations involved in the provision of supply chain and logistics services:

• RecognitionAwards. These are awards accorded to companies who have been successfully developed, crafted or deployed innovative and

transformative projects. The nominations of recognition awards are selected from industry professionals and community members

of SCA. Awardees are selected by SCA editorial team as well as its Awards Committee members.

• CompetingAwards. To qualify for these awards, companies will need to pass through a nomination and selection process, acceptance of the

nomination and finally voted to win by a Panel of Judges as well as SCA Awards Committee members. The nomination and

selection process are held from January-April. Nominated companies need to accept their nominations before they can compete to

win the award.

Overall Supply Chain Partner of the YearThe Overall Supply Chain Partner of the Year are open to ALL CORPORATE FINALISTS who meet the following criteria:

• PresenceduringtheAwardscelebration

• Strongleadershipteam(oratleastvisibleleaderswithstrongprofileintheindustry)

• Providessupplychainandlogisticsrelatedservicesandsolutionswithfocusonadoptionandintensiveuseoftechnology

The final list of 10 companies will be voted by the Awards Committee and Panel of Judges and presented for live voting during the

Awards Night.

SCA | 19

Regardless of the industry, awards celebrations

gather together a unique blend of talent that

are courageous, achievement oriented, ones

with growth and innovative mindset and more

importantly, possess a deep sense of pride in what

they do. It is a necessary event in any industry to assemble

the collective leadership of the various companies together

to honour and share the accomplishments of their peers. In

this pursuit, we endeavour to uncover silent achievers for the

greater good of creating a strong professional bond across.

There is a tsunami of change, uncertainty and unpredictability

in the supply chain ecosystem. To internalise, adapt, change

and let alone thrive in this challenging environment requires

strategic mindset, relevant competencies, distinctive

leadership and the boldness to execute. Beyond this, strategic

collaborations within and across industries are a competitive

edge if one is successful in creating a sound value proposition.

Traditional boundaries are not respected in the face of rapid

technological change. New generation of leaders brings

unfettered desire to change, alter the norms and take risk.

This ignites the energy in the supply chain and forces present

in leaders to embrace this as a potent catalyst. The speed of

technological advances requires a very different leadership

to question the norms, encourage a sense of curiosity and

creativity, and enable a fusion of talent.

SCA Awards 2019 aims to recognise such leaders and

companies that make a difference to the industry, provide the

vision and the drive to alter our paths to success. The awards

committee, made up of respected leaders in the academia,

trade bodies, private and public sector, carefully assembled

various categories of awards to honour these winners. The

task was not easy. How do we ensure we have ample coverage

across all domains and yet make sure we dwell deep enough

to make a wise decision?

In recognising the need for technology enabled transformation,

we introduced four new categories under the umbrella of

Emerging Technologies, Innovation and Transformation. We

would like the Awards to reflect the current landscape as well

as distinctively encourage a fusion of new wave of companies

with entrenched ones.

It has been a fulfilling experience for me to be part of the

Awards team and enjoy the experience of debates and

calibration of how the Awards should be organised and kept

relevant. This further reinforces my strong believe that SCA

executes its humble aspiration to bring professionals across

the industry very seriously. Additionally, Paul has worked

tirelessly with other like-minded individuals to host numerous

other events throughout the year. In the capacity of Chairman

of Shippers Council as well as President of this Awards, I have

witnessed the enthusiasm. This is a truly an honour for the

industry itself.

On behalf of the Awards committee, I would like to share my

heartiest congratulations to all the nominees, winners and

everyone else for taking time and effort to be present for this

prestigious and memorable event.

As the President of UPS Asia Pacific region, Ross leads over 14,000 employees and oversees all UPS operations in the nearly 40 countries and territories, including UPS’s package delivery, freight forwarding, contract logistics and distribution services. Ross’s vision for UPS’s Asia Pacific region is based on a continued commitment to growth through providing greater access to UPS, innovation that creates value for the customer and a firm belief that empowering the right talent with the right tools will cement UPS’s position as a global logistics leader.

Like many senior UPS leadership, Ross began his career at UPS while completing his undergraduate studies as a part-time employee. Since joining the company in 1984, Ross counts a number of ground-breaking ‘firsts’ at UPS, which have contributed to successful product, portfolio and geographic expansions throughout the business. In 1996, he headed UPS’s first ever e-commerce function. This was followed by post-acquisition integration and relationship development for Mail Boxes Etc. in the UPS Europe Region, which paved the way for the company’s successful and growing retail strategy in Europe, and integrating UPS’s supply chain solutions under one marketing portfolio, positioning UPS as one of the first end-to-end global logistics integrators.

In his prior role as Vice President for Corporate Strategy, Ross led the creation and launch of a new strategic planning process, together with the development of a comprehensive global vision and strategy communications platform. A growth champion, Ross has leveraged his experience with global merger and acquisition projects to oversee key initiatives, including significant strategic investments, and established relationships with leading transportation companies in the region. In 2018, UPS strengthened reach and connectivity for Asian businesses; rolling out transit time improvements impacting over 500 trade lanes, and added seven new Boeing 747-8s to service intercontinental trade routes.

Ross has contributed to discussions around changing trade in Asia and the impact of technology on businesses at regional events, including the 2017 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit and The Economist Innovation Summit 2018. He has a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology from Eastern Illinois University, and earned an MBA in International Business from Emory University. When Ross is not working on his next first, he is most likely to be found spending time with his wife, son and daughter.

John Huang, chairman of CTW Logistics Corporation, is integral in strategy formulation for the company and shaping of internal culture and external relations of the company. Under his leadership, CTW becomes a leading 3PL service provider in Taiwan.

CTW was founded in 1974 as a container trucking company. In the historical perspective, it was the era between two times of Energy Crisis (1973-1974 and 1982-1983) in which Taiwan was in its economic boom (with GDP growth of 14 per cent), and this provided an excellent opportunity for CTW’s growth. In the 2000s, CTW expanded its business focus from transportation into warehousing and total logistics solutions. By adopting world-leading WMS and German Dematic AS/RS, and also adopting self-developed TMS, Dock Door Management System (CTW’s transportation partners make reservations for dock door usages), CTW seized the Taiwan economic growth momentum and semiconductors/ electronics industry development to build up its market share and gradually thrived to become a leading third-party logistics service provider in Taiwan. CTW especially dedicates to logistics service for semiconductor-related parts, special gases, chemicals, dangerous goods, electronics devices, precise machines, and fashion goods.

Facing the US-China trade war and severe global competition, CTW keeps the competitive advantage by adopting robotics automation system, big data application and IoT technology, as well as innovative services, such as the regional Control Tower, and the Logi-Intelligence platform to track and trace cross-country shipments. The change in pace is faster than ever and CTW needs to act responsively and effectively. This requires different ways of thinking and doing things. John Huang is leading CTW across this transformation.

CTW welcomes its 45th anniversary in 2019, and looks ahead to the next 15 years. To achieve this long-term vision, CTW treasures employees, and expects them to carry on the sustainability of the company. CTW regularly organises the internal and external trainings to strengthen the employees’ logistics knowledge and skills, as well as to increase their awareness of safety, security risks and the changes in regulation compliance. CTW management team consciously cultivates the friendly working environment and encourage employees to engage in decision-making to retain the outstanding performers.

John Huang is also passionate about the public welfare. CTW’s educational foundation, founded in 1998, will keep its mission to devote in public welfare for the local neighbouring communities and Taiwanese society. Echoing CTW’s business philosophy: Repay the society; Repay the earth. Care for humanity; Care for peace, CTW’s educational foundation acts to express the appreciation for the homeland.

deMAtic + dhl (MUlti-shUttle As/rs)DHL has proposed an innovative, multi-user automated system – a solution which was a first for the industry.

In talking to potential suppliers, DHL looked for a system that had extremely high throughput and could utilise the high 13M

clearance at the ARC. It also needed to be compact in footprint and possess the flexibility to handle the requirements of many

different customers.

After an extensive review by automation experts at DHL, the Dematic Multishuttle system was selected as the one that best met

requirements. This next-generation shuttle system is designed to store, buffer and sequence products between bulk stock and

functions such as picking and order assembly. It has been designed to dramatically increase speed, accuracy and throughput.

Working in close collaboration with Dematic, the automation team designed the process and the system. This involved close

consultation with operations, IT teams and customers to ensure that their needs would be met, while making it generic enough

to accommodate new customers.

The shuttle system has been designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind, and power is only routed to the shuttles

when it is active. It is expected to have a lifespan of between 15 and 20 years.

The new system exceeded initial productivity assumptions. Its increased speed of picking and putaway has resulted in a faster

turnaround time for customers and from order drop to completed pick now takes six minutes per order. Inventory accuracy of the

system has been measured at 99.999% which has removed the need for extensive cycle counting.

DEMATIC mGTP: MODULAR GOODS TO PERSON SYSTEMSProductivity, Throughput, Picking and Inventory Accuracy, SKU range, Stock Security, Training and Retaining Workers

DC managers and operators are faced with continual pressures to improve customer service levels whilst addressing a growing list of challenges in their day to day operations. Small and mid-sized operations are turning to faster, more efficient and flexible automated solutions in order to meet their business needs

Dematic developed the mGTP (modular Goods to Person) picking solutions to address these challenges and provide a scalable entry into automation.

1. PICKING RATES INCREASED BY 3-5 TIMESmGTP picking solutions offer much higher productivity compared to a traditional picking system, thus reducing the overall labour necessary to fulfil orders. mGTP achieves higher pick rates by delivering items directly to pickers, with significant lost time fully eliminated as walking to and searching storage for products is no longer part of the process. While traditional picking solutions offer rates of 100 lines per hour per operator, with goods-to-person picking, individual operators typically achieve rates between 350 to 500 order lines per hour, depending on the size and types of SKUs being picked.

2. MAXIMISING ROI The compact design of modular goods-to-person picking systems makes it a cost-effective automation option with an attractive ROI for even small to mid-sized businesses. The systems are scalable and can be installed to suit current operations and expanded if required in the future. The systems are capable of increasing storage and picking capacity independently and easily. In addition, new technology options such as inter-aisle transfer reduce or completely eliminate the need for expensive conveyor systems that require a large amount of valuable floor space to manage and route containers.

3. HIGH NUMBER OF SKUS SECURELY STORED AND ACCOUNTED FORGTP picking solutions can store tens of thousands of small-item SKUs easily. The solutions can replenish, pick and pack quickly, efficiently and accurately from one workstation. The systems offer secure, high density, completely trackable storage. Totes that can be subdivided, which dramatically increases storage capacity for very small items such as cosmetics or electronics components. Improved inventory management and visibility, as well as secure storage, means GTP picking is also suitable for the order fulfilment of high value items.

4. MANAGE ORDER FULFILMENT DEMAND FLUCTUATIONSmGTP picking solution have a flexible, highly standardised design that can scale up or down as business needs change or demand dictates. The solution’s storage or picking capabilities can be expanded during peak periods by modifying the density of storage opening extra storage locations and picking stations. All workstations can operate independently and be opened and closed according to order volumes. If workstations are turned off during off peak periods, they provide full redundancy without affecting SKU availability at the workstations still in operation. Additionally, orders can be processed at any location, workstations can be utilised for stock counting or inducting as required.

Unlike in traditional conveyor-picking or manual picking systems where an increase in pickers during peak periods can cause congestion in aisles, in a mGTP system employees work in parallel at multiple picking stations, allowing them to be unaffected by each other’s pace.

Training new operators at mGTP workstations is very simple.

5. SYSTEM INSTALLATION INTO EXISTING OPERATIONSWarehouse downtime can be largely avoided with modular GTP picking solutions as they are pre-engineered systems that can be easily configured and deployed with minimal impact. They can be installed quickly and require little training to get operators fully productive. mGTP solutions have the flexibility to be deployed into existing or new facilities. They are able to operate as a stand-alone system or be incorporated into a larger DC solution.

6. FAST AND ACCURATE ORDER FULFILMENT As consumer demands put more and more pressure on fast and accurate delivery there is no room for costly errors. mGTP systems provide fast and accurate order fulfilment. Errors are virtually eliminated. Stock is delivered to picking stations in the precise sequence required for order assembly — heavy items first, fragile items last, by family group or in whatever sequence dictated — ensuring high productivity and throughput minimal double handling.

byd (electric enerGy systeM)BYD Electric Forklifts are powered by the revolutionary Lithium Iron-

Phosphate Battery, a cutting-edge technology that is set to be the next

wave in the material-handling equipment industry. The forklifts are

designed to drive operational efficiency that will enable cost savings

while offering a zero pollution and zero emission solution.

BYD Lithium Iron-Phosphate Batteries are stable and do not require any

cooling, hence reducing the risk of battery overheating and explosion.

The batteries undergo stringent tests which include vibration, shock, fire,

submersion, and collisions at different speeds. The batteries also adhere

to strict international safety standards such as UL 1642 (lithium ion batteries), UL 2580 (batteries for use in electric vehicles), and

UN 38.3 (transport of dangerous goods). Furthermore, the cells do not contain any heavy metals or toxins, making the battery a

clean option and easy to recycle or dispose.

BYD provides manufacturer’s warranty for the battery for five years or 10,000 hours (whichever is earlier). The fast charging

and opportunistic charging feature allow operators to charge the forklifts during their rest time without shortening the battery

lifespan.

Besides focusing on product safety, BYD also believes in providing customers with quality products. That is why BYD forklifts’

critical components are sourced from renowned suppliers worldwide for high quality assurance.

Cycle & Carriage Singapore is proud to be appointed as the exclusive distributor of BYD’s Lithium Iron- Phosphate electric

forklifts. The current BYD forklift range includes Counterbalance Forklifts, Stackers, Reach Trucks, Pallet Trucks and Tow Tractors.

hActl (sMArt cArGo locAtinG)Hactl has looked at various possible solutions to locating loose cargo in their

terminals and has came up with a typically innovative solution: SCL (Smart Cargo

Locating) system.

In SCL, every item of loose cargo has a pre-printed, reusable code sheet affixed

to its top surface on arrival; this carries a unique 2D barcode which identifies the

cargo, and creates a record in the COSAC-Plus management system. RFID tags

are fixed to the warehouse racked storage areas at regular intervals, creating

unique “cells” and effectively acting as an indoor GPS.

The final element of the system is a “Smart Device” comprising a camera, a Wi-Fi transmitter/receiver, an RFID antenna, a digital

display, and a processor unit (effectively the eyes, ears, mouth and brain of the system); these devices are mounted above the

cargo receiving areas, and on the masts of “Smart Forklifts” which are used to rack the cargo.

On arrival of the cargo at Hactl, the ceiling-mounted camera reads the code sheet on the cargo, and the unique barcode and a

photographic image of the cargo are automatically uploaded to COSAC-Plus to be associated with the cargo’s AWB. COSAC-Plus

then allocates a warehouse zone for storage, and instructs the forklift driver to proceed there. As the cargo is racked, the Smart

Forklift picks up the nearest RFID cell signal, and uses this to automatically update the cargo’s record with its accurate position.


| SCA54


When the time comes to retrieve the cargo, COSAC-Plus provides a manifest for each ULD being built up, showing the precise

position of each piece, and a picture that helps speed up identification. The forklift operator can then easily and quickly locate and

retrieve all the listed items. A future enhancement of SCL will see this list replaced by a graphical map of the warehouse, showing

the cargo’s exact position and the best path to take for its retrieval.

SCL has been undergoing trials and fine-tuning during 2018, and has now gone fully live in Hactl SuperTerminal 1. It is currently

being used on export cargo only, but will subsequently be adopted for imports too.

SCL is already enhancing Hactl productivity, by halving the time taken to retrieve each item of loose cargo. By providing a more

rational storage regime, SCL is also reducing warehouse forklift movements – in turn reducing operating costs and contributing

to Hactl’s Green Terminal programme. Finally, SCL is freeing up a projected 20,000 hours of manpower per year for other, often

customer-facing, service-enhancing activities.

infoloG (sMArt wArehoUse)InfoLog’s latest project involves the deployment of a Smart

Warehouse operations that include the use of Automated

Mobile Robots (AMRs) as well as Industrial Internet of Things

(IIoT) to enhance the operational efficiency and effectiveness of

warehouse operations.

The Smart Warehouse applications essentially creates full

visibility of the warehouse through the adoption of smart IoT

devices. These devices are designed to track specific locations of

workers within a warehouse and link them to the jobs and tasks

they are performing. At the same time, the implementation of

AMRs will assist the workers in their “carry and move” function,

thereby increasing their productivity. The AMRs are also design

to lead workers to various points of operations, thus increasing

speed of access to specific areas for work to be done reducing errors in picking.

The Smart Warehouse project has led to a reduction of error rates by almost 95 per cent in its Proof of Concept deployment

and also an increase in productivity of an average worker by up to 67 per cent. The overall warehouse utilisation and workers’

efficiency have also risen substantially during the trial period.

The Smart Warehouse is slated for a full commercial deployment in 2019/2020 with further enhancements to include the use of

mixed reality – specifically Augmented Reality.

sAto (VisUAl wArehoUse systeM)SATO Asia Pacific (hereinafter known as “SAP”) has successfully implemented the RFID solution onto the raw material tracking

process. With this implementation, customer’s business productivity has immensely increased.

SATO is one of the global leaders in providing AIDC Solutions. With the thought of putting SATO’s values into action, we go on-

site to understand the customer’s operational needs and provide value to our customers.

One of their customers who is a global leader in the design, manufacture and supply of advanced electronic materials and

components. The customer is planning to enhance their factory operations to be ready for Industry 4.0 and one of the challenges

faced was in managing raw materials.

Before implementing SATO’s RFID solutions, operators had to manually look for raw materials (while they have more than 100

different types of material to be identified) and check against their picking list. This process was time-consuming and prone to

human errors resulting in the wrong raw material picked.

SAP proposed using RFID to better manage raw materials. RFID tag is attached onto the raw material. During any picking process,

the tablet will show the picking list together with the picking location. And the lifter which has been installed a RFID reader will

make sure the correct material has been picked up. Through this solution, customer avoid long picking processes (to locate the

material), wrong item picked and materials misplaced.

around the world. Over 45 years, CTW

continues to capture the market trends to

think and act beyond customers’ needs,

and develops customer-oriented and

valuable logistics solutions with innovative

perspectives.

In 2001, AS/RS is one of our early

automation implementations as a frontier

in Taiwan logistics industries, and this gives

us 14,350 pallets locations and decent

operation efficiency to open a new era of

Taiwan’s warehousing modernisation.

With the globalisation of international

business, CTW supports its global clients

by acting as the Regional Control Tower to

process their import & export shipments.

To achieve the highest service standard

under self-request, Logi-Intelligence is one

of its newly developed platforms that integrates the customer shipping instructions and the status of process of all vendors in

one place, so that everyone can track, analyse and build their own reports. Meanwhile, it is hassle free in communication across

parties.

On time delivery is always an important part of logistics company. To achieve better performance, CTW Logistics cooperates with

our vendors and partners to implement self-designed transportation management system and dock door management system.

The TMS (transportation management system) increases the information integrity and optimises trucking arrangements in terms

of efficiency and cost benefits. On the other hand, DDM (dock door management system) requires its transportation partners

to make reservation for dock door usage, which gives the warehouse operation team better visibility on the loading/unloading

schedule, and its partners can reduce on-site waiting time as well as the emission of CO2 while idling. This implementation

creates a seamless flow through warehouse operation to transportation services, and thus enhances the chance of on-time

delivery to end customers.

Artifical Intelligence, Internet of Things, and Industrial 4.0 make our life smarter, and it is also boosting the logistics world. CTW

cooperates with Solomon Corp to develop the 3D vision recognition packing system connecting with collaborative robot to pick

multiple paint cans by different direction, and it also can work collaboratively with humans at the same space. The system is

not aimed to replace human but to improve the performance on line that raise the value of operation by increasing the safety

of dangerous goods packing process with less sorting and human touches to the product. From this successful experience,

CTW proactively looks forward to more robotic solutions on different sites.

ihUb solUtions (sinGAPore)Besides digitalising processes, the core to our integration strategy

is the Virtual Logistics System (VLS) as an IT platform that enables

the interactions of various stakeholders from clients and end-users

alike to have track and trace visibility of the warehouse movement

of goods and transactional services. iHub Solutions has developed

a VLS Cross-docking system by adopting a coherent data strategy

into monitoring processes; this has enabled us to achieve cost

efficiencies, fast turn-around time, and productivity improvements.

The VLS also has API functionalities linking up e-commerce

websites and direct access to Lazada and Zalora marketplaces,

enhancing the connectivity and flow of delivery orders.

iHub’s proprietary Cloud Transportation System (CTS) manages route assignments and delivery orders for our drivers. Their

delivery tasks are captured with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) scanning and the driver-specific delivery schedule will then

track task completion via a mobile-CTS application.

The system deploys real-time dashboards to facilitate the Just-In-Time philosophy that drives operational excellence; this is very

much aligned with iHub’s corporate culture valuing teamwork and customer excellence. All these come together as the company

builds a strong, diverse and synergistic base of customers with complex needs, through win-win partnerships and professional

customer service.

fG loGistics (thAilAnd)Since April 2004, Friendly Groups Logistics (FG

Logistics) has embarked on an aggressive strategy

to expand its services beyond bonded warehousing.

Today, FG Logistics has invested heavily in ensuring

that it has a good foundation in IT and human

resources. It is has engaged more professionals to

join its team and is led by the Founding Chairman’s

daughter, Ms Sineenart Engtrakul, an up-and-

coming business woman in Thailand.

FG Logistics thrives in innovating their processes

and adopting technology to support their clients. In

the last few years, FG Logistics has deployed new

solutions, including setting up a 24-hour logistics

catering service for Nok Air and deploying last-

mile e-commerce distribution service to meet the

growing consumer needs in the country.

Maintaining its Thai identity, FG Logistics aims to provide the best-in-class logistics services and solutions for companies doing

business in Thailand. The company continues to seek the support of local Thai companies as well as international companies to

expand their business across a wide spectrum of logistics, freight and supply chain management services and solutions.
