Cargo Breaking News
Nestlé India recently launched its state-of-the-art Distribution Center (DC) in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra. This is the first DC in Nestlé India to have a Digital Twin, a planning tool for the warehouse operations which helps in simulating different scenarios in a virtual environment and take actions accordingly, thus helping with better planning and preparedness. The distribution center is also equipped with AI-enabled CCTV, Operations Command hub, digital rack inspection system, and sensor-fitted material handling equipment, thus strengthening the security system. With approx. 20,000 pallet positions and the largest cold room for chocolate storage in the distribution center, the Company is raising the industry standards in logistics. Completed in a record time of seven months, the distribution center is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a dedicated repacking center and India’s first shuttle racking system – a dense racking system which helps in improved space efficiency in the warehouse. The distribution center is also completely digitally operated – thus making it a paperless facility. This has been made possible through the continued partnership between Nestlé India and its logistics partners. As a part of the partnership, Nestlé India would continue to scale alternate vehicles on the Sanand-Bhiwandi route.
