Panalpina's expands single warehouse management system to France
PANALPINA's facility in Lyon, France, has become the 50th site to be equipped with its single warehouse management system (WMS) JDA.
The system was implemented at two facilities in the US and Belgium. These sites in Newtown, Connecticut and Brussels are part of a global distribution network for the healthcare customer Ion Beam Application. The speedy implementation at more sites including Singapore will follow soon.
"We've come a long way since 2012 when we decided to implement one standard warehouse management system for our roughly 90 facilities globally. Lyon in France marked the 50th site to go live with JDA WMS, so we are more than half way there," said Mike Wilson, global head of Logistics and Manufacturing at Panalpina.
"The speed at which we can implement JDA WMS at an existing or new site, combined with the increasing interconnection of those sites and the powerful functionalities of the system, allow us to efficiently grow our business. IBA is a perfect example of this."
IBA relies on Panalpina for the installation and maintenance of a growing number of proton therapy cancer centres across the world. The company has very diverse transportation needs where quality service and short lead-times are crucial. This can, for example, be an air freight shipment for a small urgently needed spare part in order to keep downtime of a proton therapy device at a minimum, reports STAT Trade Times of Singapore.
