DPL unveils automated central warehouse facility
View(s):Dipped Products PLC (DPL), a member of the Hayleys Group, recently commissioned an automated central warehouse facility at the Biyagama Export Processing Zone, to enhance its service delivery excellence to meet the critical global export demand.
The state-of-the-art new warehouse facility will enable DPL to consolidate storage facilities across its Hanwella, Kottawa and Biyagama factories, by streamlining operations, reducing transportation and logistics costs, and increasing visibility and control across DPL’s supply chain, the company said in a media release.
The extensively automated 23,000 cubic metre facility represents a new technological milestone for the company’s digitalisation drive, and was commissioned by Hayleys Chairman and Chief Executive, Mohan Pandithage in the presence of DPL Deputy Chairman Rajitha Kariyawasan, Hayleys Executive Director Sarath Ganegoda, DPL Managing Director Pushpika Janadheera, Directors, together with members of the Hayleys Group Management Committee and DPL employees. “Our latest investments are part of our strategy to expand global reach, ensure supply chain resilience, and enhance service delivery to our key export markets. With our centralised warehousing facilities, we are also optimising our service capacity, speed, and customer value to help secure our next wave of growth,” Dipped Products PLC Managing Director, Pushpika Janadheera said.
Equipped with a state-of-the-art US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) compliant safety system which covers 4,200 pallet racks, the new facility provides DPL with an extensive storage capacity.
Combined with robust technologies including modern articulated truck technologies and product management systems, and an integrated data tracking system that streamlines DPL’s logistical operations, it enables systematic tracing of containers from the loading point to the pallet rack. Moreover, the new central warehouse significantly reduces the need for internal transportation, reflecting a 30 per cent decrease in inter-factorytransport related Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.
