DHL Supply Chain has been appointed by Bosch to manage the distribution of its consumer goods and mobility-related products in Malaysia, with occasional support for regional markets. The collaboration aims to enhance operational efficiency and boost competitiveness on a local and global scale. To achieve this, DHL Supply Chain is setting up a new distribution center in Shah Alam, which features cutting-edge Industry 4.0 technologies such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Pick-to-Light and Put-to-Light systems, and real-time inventory tracking.
The facility is designed to support DHL Supply Chain’s commitment to driving innovation in logistics, aligning with Malaysia’s aspirations to become a leader in the digital economy and Industry 4.0. This is part of DHL Supply Chain’s efforts to provide tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers in an increasingly complex global supply chain.
In addition to the new distribution center, DHL Supply Chain Malaysia has recently launched the Penang Logistics Hub 5, which features the company’s first global deployment of Automated Case-handling Mobile Robots and Goods-to-Person Robotics, as well as an Automated Storage and Retrieval System. Spanning 22,000 square meters in the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone, the facility demonstrates DHL Supply Chain’s commitment to investing in automation and technology to stay ahead of the curve.
The new distribution center and logistics hub reflect DHL Supply Chain’s focus on driving innovation and efficiency in logistics. By adopting Industry 4.0 technologies, DHL Supply Chain aims to improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of its services, while also reducing costs and minimizing environmental impacts. The partnership with Bosch is a strategic step forward in this endeavor, highlighting DHL Supply Chain’s ability to provide customized solutions that meet the unique needs of its clients.
As Malaysia looks to position itself as a key logistics hub in Southeast Asia, DHL Supply Chain is well-positioned to support the country’s growth aspirations. The company’s investments in technology and automation are designed to enhance its capabilities and capacity, enabling it to provide fast and reliable logistics services to its customers. The partnership with Bosch is a testament to DHL Supply Chain’s commitment to innovation and its ability to drive positive change in the logistics industry.
