Future of logistics in Singapore 'cannot be more exciting'
As the industry leverages technology, its manpower upskills to match.
ON April 30 this year, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) set up the Supply Chain Employees' Union (SCEU) to support the development of skills and competencies of employees in Singapore's logistics and supply chain sector.
With the rapidly growing demands for operational support, coupled with competing priorities in land-scarce Singapore, the country saw several new logistics complexes that introduced new operating concepts, with more facilities coming on-stream as soon as next month.
These complexes feature capabilities such as Enterprise-wide Warehouse and Transport Management Systems, as well as high-rise, automated storage-and-retrieval systems that maximise real estate usage, while leveraging technology and automation techniques such as Automated Guided Vehicles.
