Tata Steel dedicated the Central Warehouse Complex, which has been built with Rs 200 crore, located centrally inside the Jamshedpur works.
The location was selected to enable all incoming vehicles to enter the Jamshedpur works, via the JMD gate, using the marine drive. This has helped to avoid all incoming vehicles to come into the city.
The complex was inaugurated by Dr. Petrus Blauwhoff, independent director, Tata Steel. It is designed for better utilisation of vertical space up to 12 meters high, benchmark with warehouses of industries like FMCG, 3 Pl logistic etc.
This is supported by material handling equipment for safe handling of materials inside the warehouse. Technology like radio frequency based shuttle and multitier drive-in system are used to enable 100% FIFO implementation in the warehouse.
The warehouse has been digitalised by implementing SAP (Extended Warehouse Management) module to improve productivity, traceability and ease of working.
