Revolutionising Inventory Management: HK Electric’s Cutting-Edge Solution
The introduction of an elevating transfer vehicle (ETV) in the system revolutionizes the handling of heavy cable drums and transformers, optimizing warehouse space and enhancing safety. This innovative solution not only improves material handling efficiency but also streamlines inventory management processes, setting a solid foundation for future expansion and evolution of the company.
With a rich history dating back to 1890, HK Electric has been a reliable provider of electricity supply to homes and businesses in Hong Kong and Lamma islands. Maintaining an exceptional electricity supply rating of over 99.999% since 1997, HK Electric is recognized among the world’s leading performers in the industry.
To meet the growing demand within the constraints of a non-extendable storage area, a multi-storey solution was implemented. The new fully automated 4-level system, serviced by an ETV, enables HK Electric to store significantly more stock in a safe and damage-free manner. The system, consisting of high-quality hardware components and intelligent control software, reduces manual labor and enhances real-time visibility and control over inventory.
Alan So, Head of Commercial Services at HK Electric, emphasizes the importance of automation and innovation in improving productivity and safety. The cooperation with Lödige Industries has optimized storage density and safety, providing control over drum storage, retrieval, and visibility.
Joman Chong, General Manager of the BPS Global Group, highlights the collaborative effort with Lödige Industries in presenting an all-encompassing solution that revolutionizes inventory management and storage optimization for HK Electric.
Nicholas Tripptree, Managing Director for Asia-Pacific at Lödige Industries, emphasizes the company’s expertise in solving complex material handling requirements, expanding into new industries like the energy sector. The successful implementation of the project demonstrates Lödige’s ability to design and implement projects with similar requirements for customers across various sectors.
