The Swiss-based automation giant Swisslog has announced its participation in the upcoming Saudi Smart Logistics 2024. This major gathering, forming part of the Riyadh International Industry Week 2024, is set to take place from May 6-9 and will converge over 16,000 industrial and logistics leaders from around the globe in Riyadh. Swisslog is set to highlight its state-of-the-art AutoStore robotic storage and order processing system at the event.
In the Middle East, Swisslog has built a robust market presence with regional allies such as Almarai, Raha, and Robostores, delivering custom automation solutions that cater to the specific requirements of local enterprises. The broad suite of robotic and data-centric solutions offered by Swisslog resonates with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, the Saudi Arabian government’s aspirational blueprint for diversifying the economy, fostering innovation, and advocating sustainable industry practices.
Visitors of Saudi Smart Logistics 2024 will witness the capabilities of AutoStore at the Swisslog exhibit. This pioneering technology provides a plethora of advantages including augmented storage capacities, improved picking proficiency, and enhanced inventory control. Seamlessly integrating with existing systems, AutoStore meets the increasing needs for swift, accurate, and dependable order fulfillment. Its compact, modular design is perfectly suited for businesses aiming to optimize space and streamline workflow.
Given the surge in e-commerce and the heightened expectations of today’s consumers, such automation solutions are becoming indispensable. Saudi Arabia’s e-commerce market reached a valuation of $10 billion in 2023, ranking as the 28th largest online market worldwide. In line with Saudi Vision 2030, the nation is set to initiate approximately 80 substantial projects by the end of the decade, with the Public Investment Fund providing substantial backing, particularly in the logistics domain to underpin the country’s developmental ambitions.
Saudi Arabia has positioned itself as a regional leader in e-commerce through significant investments in warehousing and fulfilment. Our goal at Swisslog is to support these advancements with easy and effective warehouse automation. A robotics solution like Autostore aligns with the country’s broader efforts to diversify its economy and enhance its logistics capacity and shipping volumes. We’re excited for people to witness its power as well as gain insights into the latest developments shaping the future of logistics and supply chain management.
