Komatsu Australia has opened a new 12,500 square metre, $9.9 million fulfilment centre in Tarneit, Melbourne.
Opening its doors in March, Komatsu says it is powered by the fastest order fulfilment system on the market.
Komatsu says the new Melbourne facility will ensure a more efficient and streamlined experience for customers when ordering parts and machinery.
Next-day delivery to regional branches across Victoria, South Australia and southern New South Wales will enable faster and more reliable support for Komatsu customers.
“Leveraging the latest technology, our new facility centres around the implementation of the AutoStore – a high-speed order fulfilment system – which is operated by autonomous robots that move on top of an aluminium cubic grid,” Komatsu announced.
The facility will also strengthen Komatsu’s e-commerce capabilities, with a larger inventory now housed in Melbourne, customers will benefit from improved efficiencies through myKomatsu as well as seamless click-and-collect services. The centre will hold 35,000 unique stock items, enhancing availability and reducing lead times.
