The semiconductor market has grown into a vital part of the global economy. Nippon Express supports the supply chains behind semiconductors, which are essential to everyday life and critical infrastructure. Through our global logistics network, we connect every stage of the semiconductor supply chain.
With the increasing globalization of supply chains across the manufacturing sector, events occurring worldwide are more likely to affect entire industries. In the semiconductor industry in particular, in addition to the major challenge of semiconductor supply shortages, the importance of supply chains has become even more pronounced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Customers involved in long and complex semiconductor manufacturing processes have raised the following challenges in terms of logistics:
To address these customer challenges, we provide logistics services specifically for semiconductors.
Because the materials used in the semiconductor industry are extremely sensitive, transportation services that mitigate vibration and shock are crucial.
Nippon Express not only provides vehicles equipped with air suspension, but also offers vibration-damping pallets that it has developed and patented in-house. By incorporating specially developed springs into the pallets, products are protected from vibrations and shocks during transport.
For semiconductor manufacturers, this includes inter-process transportation of semi-finished products, inter-process supply of components, and collection of finished products. For manufacturing equipment manufacturers, it includes delivery services for used manufacturing equipment, and much more.
We have extensive experience in transporting manufacturing equipment, both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, we have a wealth of experience in packaging equipment for transport, enabling us to handle everything from packaging to transportation and installation. We also manage maintenance parts using a WMS (Warehouse Management System), implementing thorough lot management and FIFO (First-In, First-Out) procedures.
For semiconductor manufacturers and trading companies, the scope of work likely includes everything from repackaging, inspection, and packaging of semiconductor products. The NX Group also handles distribution processing in facilities with temperature, humidity, dust, and static electricity control. While many logistics companies specialize in transportation, our group excels at providing integrated services that include not only transportation but also distribution processing and kitting.
Not only in the upstream processes involving manufacturing equipment manufacturers and material/component manufacturers, but also in the downstream processes, we sometimes receive requests such as, "We urgently need maintenance parts or materials, so please deliver them within a few hours." Therefore, we have established a system for emergency transportation by setting up warehouses near our customers' factories, and we respond to urgent requests for the delivery of manufacturing equipment, materials, and components for customers who require 24-hour support.
Nippon Express leverages its long-established global network across Asia, the Americas, and Europe to provide one-stop transportation services for our customers' products not only within Japan but also worldwide. For semiconductor-related products, where high-quality transportation is essential, we can handle all modes of transport, including air, sea, and truck transport.
Nippon Express employs specialized staff with knowledge of the semiconductor industry and is committed to employee development. The goal is to further enhance the quality of service by ensuring each employee understands semiconductors and the semiconductor industry as a whole.
If you are a customer in the semiconductor industry and have challenges with integrated logistics or global transportation, please feel free to contact Nippon Express.
