Satair has successfully implemented the Swisslog AutoStore system at its Singapore facility, marking a significant advancement in its logistics capabilities across the Asia-Pacific region. This installation, announced on 13 April, is Satair’s third global automation deployment, following previous successes in Hamburg and Dulles. The system aims to harmonise and robotise logistics processes, enhancing efficiency and scalability.
The AutoStore system allows for high-density, goods-to-person automation, storing approximately 80% of small and medium-sized parts within a 1,000 m² area. This innovation promises faster, more consistent order processing and supports scalable 24/7 operations, offering improved reliability and flexibility, especially during peak demand periods. Steven Xie, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Swisslog APeC, stated, “By combining Swisslog’s integration expertise with AutoStore’s high-density storage technology, we are enabling Satair to scale efficiently and stay ahead of growing regional demand.”
Supported by the Singapore Economic Development Board, this project reinforces Singapore’s status as a leading aerospace logistics hub. Andy Lee, Managing Director for Satair Asia-Pacific, highlighted the importance of this development, saying, “The inauguration of AutoStore in Singapore is a pivotal step in our transformative regional growth via technology.”
Swisslog continues to collaborate with Satair to expand its automation capabilities, ensuring the Singapore facility remains a benchmark for operational excellence in the region. This initiative aligns with Singapore’s ongoing efforts to advance digitalisation and build future-ready supply chain capabilities.
