Information Technology and Logistics Engineering for Real Time Distribution Management
Volume fluctuations, emergency shipments and returned goods are just a few of the inevitable complications that can make it hard for a business to reduce its logistics costs. This is where our IT and engineering experts can help, by rationalizing and optimizing operations at each facility.
Information Technology
Hitachi Transport System works with the other members of the Hitachi Group to provide fully customized logistics systems. We take care of everything, from design and development, right through to integration, operation and maintenance. Because we customize our system to meet each customer's requirements, the development process is speedy and simple.

- Logistics System Designing and Development

- Real-time Control by Cargo Trace System

- Optimal Vehicle Scheduling Support System [G-TRACS]
Logistics Engineering
Our logistics engineers tailor the proposal for an optimal operation platform to meet each customer's requirements, in terms of in-and-out operation, inventory location control, selection of proper equipment and packing design, and so on.

- Forklift wireless LAN system

- Sorting Operation by Piece Sorter

- Development of Heat Insulating Package (Cold Resistance Test)
e-Meister (Video Manual)
We implement e-Meister training, which uses video and audio to educate temp staff and part timers who work at distribution centers. By illustrating work procedures in an easy-to-understand fashion, we aim to enhance their understanding of tasks, as well as overall safety and efficiency.

- We have presented 37 examples at 27 locations by FY 2007.
Incorporating equipment to streamline the logistics
We are introducing various equipment to improve operational efficiency at distribution centers and support our customers build an optimal distribution system by introducing such system as "Intelligent Card Sorting System" which sorts out products in small lots for each store.

- Intelligent Cart

- Sort operation
- Consulting that is Logical and Based on a Hands-on Perspective
- Information Technology and Logistics Engineering for Real Time Distribution Management
- Operational Capabilities Backed by a Wealth of Accomplishments
