Ahmedabad-based Cadila Pharmaceuticals has announced the expansion of its state-of-the-art pharmaceutical warehouse, a strategic move aimed at bolstering efficiency, streamlining logistics, and supporting the company’s growing market presence.
Spanning approximately 30,000 sq. ft., the newly expanded warehouse is designed to optimise storage and distribution. With a storage capacity of 3,888 pallets in the main warehouse and 75 pallets in a temperature-controlled cold room, it ensures safe storage for sensitive products such as vaccines and insulin.
The facility is equipped with advanced Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), a fixed racking system, Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) equipment, and reach trucks, reinforcing Cadila Pharmaceuticals’ commitment to technological excellence.
The integration of automation and smart logistics solutions is set to significantly enhance efficiency. WMS implementation reduces human error, ensuring accuracy in inventory management. A G + 8 racking system increases material inward capacity, optimising space utilisation. Automated material handling through VNA and WMS integration accelerates operations, improving productivity. Dedicated inward and outward gates minimize product interchange, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational precision.
Commenting on this significant development, Dr Rajiv I. Modi, Chairman & Managing Director stated, "This facility represents our unwavering commitment to innovation and operational excellence. By integrating automation and advanced logistics solutions, we are not only improving efficiency but also reinforcing our ability to meet the evolving needs of the pharmaceutical industry. This expansion aligns with our vision of ensuring seamless access to high-quality healthcare products worldwide."
