DKSH Thailand Celebrates 120 Years with Major Push into Solar and EV Logistics Fleet

DKSH Thailand is modernizing its healthcare logistics, a critical component given its network serving more than 40,000 hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies across all 77 provinces. To accelerate deliveries of high-priority pharmaceuticals and surgical tools, the company has introduced "A-Frame" automated picking technology. This system is designed to quickly and accurately retrieve specific items from storage, enhancing efficiency in its healthcare fulfillment infrastructure.

Complementing the automated picking, DKSH Thailand has established regional satellite distribution centres. These decentralized hubs are intended to facilitate quicker distribution to local healthcare providers, shortening delivery times compared to relying solely on central facilities. This approach, combined with existing cold-chain delivery systems, aims to maintain product integrity and speed, particularly as Thailand moves toward a super-aged demographic, which could increase demand for timely medical supplies.

Beyond healthcare, DKSH's operational revamp includes broader technological and environmental initiatives. The firm is expanding its e-commerce fulfilment services for omnichannel retail and utilising a digital platform, DKSH Discover, for client support in areas like product prototyping and regulatory compliance. These investments are part of a larger strategy to enhance efficiency across its diverse business units, which also support retail, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.
