Logistex is excited to confirm that they have secured a significant automation contract with Yusen Logistics (UK) for their 1.2 million square foot warehouse facility in Northampton.
This cutting-edge Sustainable Distribution Centre (SDC) will serve as an automated hub for B2B and B2C operations, with a capacity of 240,000 pallet locations. The warehouse is divided into two chambers, dedicated to Pharmaceutical and Ambient goods.
Logistex’s role includes delivering an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) with Aisle Changing and Fixed Aisle cranes, an Automated 4-way Pallet Shuttle system for Pharmaceutical clients, and an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Goods to Person solution for both chambers. Their Reflex warehouse system will integrate with all automated technologies to ensure smooth control over inventory and picking.
Justin Saw, Business Development Director at Logistex, said: “The team at Logistex has collaborated closely with Yusen Logistics (UK) during the tender process, forming a strong partnership. The flexibility to implement best-in-class technology underscores Logistex’s expertise as a high-level systems integrator.”
Benjamin Bird, Business Development and Solutions Director at Yusen Logistics, added: “This project is a strategic milestone in our journey towards delivering sustainable logistics services by 2030, offering net zero warehousing solutions to our customers. The SDC’s shared user automation is set to support both B2B and D2C operations, and its location near the rail terminal provides further carbon reduction opportunities. This entire operation is built around ESG values.”
