Starlinks, a premier logistics and supply chain solution provider in Saudi Arabia, announced a new partnership with IoT Squared, a distinguished leader in IoT technology solutions.
Both companies intend to explore and implement advanced technologies in warehouse automation to boost operational efficiency. They will also jointly work towards designing and implementing “Smart Warehouse” solutions, integrating IoT technology for a seamless and intelligent warehouse environment. Lastly, the partnership will prioritize data optimization throughout the supply chain, utilizing data analytics to drive informed decisions and gain a competitive advantage in the market.
Commenting on the partnership, Gary Blythe, Managing Director, Starlinks said, “The MoU with IoT Squared represents an exciting partnership that introduces forward-looking logistics solutions to the KSA market. Starlinks is enthusiastic about contributing to the growth and development of the logistics sector in alignment with Vision 2030.’
Othman D. Aldahash, CEO, IoT Squared added, “With 59 logistics zones planned in KSA, there is a significant growth in demand for logistics solutions. Starlinks and IoT Squared are well-positioned due to their combined expertise to meet this demand and play a crucial role in advancing Saudi Arabia’s logistics capabilities.”
Recognizing the importance of automation in supporting the industry’s growth, Starlinks launched the first robotics fulfillment center in Riyadh last year, situated in Agility Logistics Park. Adding to Starlinks’ 18 fulfillment centers across the KSA, the facility encompasses a storage area of 400,000 square feet and is equipped with 254 autonomous robots for picking and sorting, providing storage capacity for over 12 million units. Starlinks aims to process an average of 3.6 million unit orders per month, offering market-leading flexibility, accuracy, and agility.
With a total investment exceeding SAR 100 million, Starlinks championed this opportunity to address the ever-growing market demand and remain true to its brand promise of providing the fastest e-commerce fulfillment cycle through an omnichannel fulfillment facility.
