The demand for warehouse space in India is growing rapidly due to GST, the growth of the e-Commerce sector, and investments by PEs. Grade A warehouses which are ideal for automation are becoming more common and the increasing scale of warehouse operations is driving demand for automated solutions that provide better inventory management and operational excellence.
With this backdrop, recently Blue Star Industrial Solutions has forged a partnership with the Gebhardt Intralogistics Group, a 70-year-old German corporation known for its cutting-edge supply chain solutions. Blue Star Industrial Solutions specialises in diverse quality testing and automation offerings, and the collaboration with Gebhardt will further strengthen its capabilities. Gebhardt is renowned for its automated picking, packaging, conveying and storage solutions, including mechatronics, controls and software systems.
Through this partnership, Blue Star will enhance its warehouse automation solutions capabilities in India by integrating state-of-the-art technologies. Simultaneously, Gebhardt will leverage this collaboration to expand its global presence, with a particular focus on rapidly emerging markets like India.
