Swisslog was commissioned by TI at the end of 2011 to implement the intralogistic automation for TI's Product Distribution Center (PDC), located within Free Trade Zone in Changi, Singapore. The facility manages products arriving from 20 inbound countries and orders are consolidated and shipped to 54 outbound countries. The installation of the AutoStore goods-to-person robotic storage and order fulfillment solution has improved accuracy and space efficiency. The significant space utilization allowed 4 times the volume of products to be stored within same footprint and result in significant boost in productivity. Currently the automation managed a huge portion of volume from total shipment whereby the majority of the outbound shipments are from the AutoStore system.

"We are honored that our contribution has been recognized by Texas Instruments," said Koh Seng Teck, Swisslog Head of WDS Southeast Asia region. "The recognition was built on our continuous commitment to help Texas Instruments meet their supply chain goals by reducing costs and increasing productivity of their operation."
