Kuala Lumpur, March 17: XTS Technologies Sdn Bhd, a leading specialist in the design and build of factory automation solutions, and Huawei Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd (“Huawei”), a leading global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Padini Dot Com Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Padini Holdings Berhad for a warehouse automation solution using automated guided vehicles valued at RM1 million to be delivered within one year of a confirmed order. Padini is a fashion retailer offering two multi-brand labels – Padini Concept Store with eight brands including Padini, Seed, Padini Authentics, PDI, P&Co, Miki, Vincci and Vincci Accessories, and Brands Outlet with outlets in malls across Malaysia as well as Cambodia, Indonesia, Bahrain, Brunei, Myanmar, Oman, Qatar, Thailand and United Arab Emirates. The warehouse automation solution enables Padini to use AGVs of the reach truck type to assist in warehouse inbound and outbound picking of goods from the current manual system in which the reach truck driver needs to search for the required products on pallets from numerous racks in different locations in the warehouse. With AGV reach trucks, data stored within the Huawei cloud storage system enables the automated reach trucks to accurately pinpoint where the goods are for picking, with the reach trucks able to navigate its way automatically in the warehouse. “The AGVs will replace Padini’s two manual reach trucks and two drivers per floor in its warehouse operations which will mitigate the risks of human error as time is saved from having to search for the required pallets and there is less risk of goods and other properties being damaged. It is overall more efficient and with consistent outcomes,” XTS Managing Director Xteven Teoh said. #padini #mou (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbOcxMFB_Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr
