As the pharmaceutical industry evolves, the demand for efficient cold-chain and refrigerated transport and storage continues to rise. Langham Logistics is at the forefront of this transformation, implementing cutting-edge automation and sustainability practices to meet industry needs and exceed client expectations.
Pioneering Automation in CRT Storage
Langham Logistics has embraced advanced technologies to enhance operational efficiency and accuracy. A notable innovation is the integration of autonomous drones for inventory management. These drones systematically scan and track inventory, significantly reducing the time and labor associated with manual counts. By capturing high-resolution images and data, the drones ensure precise stock levels and real-time updates, allowing for swift identification and rectification of discrepancies.
Additionally, Langham is piloting other automation technologies, including Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Automated Pallet Shuttles (APS), to further streamline warehouse operations and improve throughput.
Commitment to Sustainability
Recognizing the environmental impact of logistics operations, Langham has developed a comprehensive sustainability plan. This plan focuses on reducing the company’s carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices. Key initiatives include:
- Energy-Efficient Lighting: Upgrading to T-5 lighting systems with occupancy sensors has led to a significant reduction in energy consumption, decreasing annual usage by 1,276,000 KWH and cutting CO2 emissions by 1,137 metric tons.
- SmartWay Partnership: By partnering with SmartWay-certified carriers, Langham ensures the selection of efficient freight carriers and transport modes, contributing to improved supply chain sustainability.
- Digital Document Management: Implementing digital solutions has reduced paper usage by 500,000 sheets annually, aligning with the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
These efforts have been recognized with a Bronze rating from EcoVadis for sustainability performance, reflecting Langham’s dedication to responsible business practices.
