Three Key Features of NX Okayama
NX Okayama offers many advantages. Here, we highlight three of its key features. *The visual materials in this section are available in Japanese only.
Excellent location with superb access for logistics.
Okayama Prefecture, located in the heart of the Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kansai regions, boasts excellent accessibility. From our warehouse, Hiroshima City is 160 km away, Yonago City 140 km away, Kochi City 160 km away, Osaka City 180 km away, and Fukuoka City 440 km away. Many major cities in western Japan are within a 450 km radius, making delivery to most of them possible. Furthermore, Okayama Freight Station, the airport, the port, and the interchange are all within an hour's travel time, making rail container transport, domestic regular ferry services using Uno Port, and international sea transport using Mizushima Port convenient. In addition, by utilizing a domestic air cargo terminal, we can expect to expand order opportunities by centralizing inventory and nationwide shipping hubs.
Weather and geographical advantages
Okayama Prefecture boasts a mild climate, earning it the nickname "Okayama, the Land of Sunshine," and a geographical advantage of a low earthquake rate. Furthermore, NX Okayama incorporates disaster prevention equipment from Sumitomo Corporation's SOSiLA logistics facilities, making it a suitable warehouse for business continuity planning (BCP) measures, as it can avoid damage from earthquakes and other natural disasters.
DX transformation of warehouses
Our warehouse facilities offer more than just simple inventory storage. We utilize robotics technology and the latest WMS (Warehouse Management System) to manage inventory effectively. In particular, the WMS digitally manages incoming and outgoing goods and inventory, allowing us to track the status of our customers' cargo and products in real time. Nippon Express's warehouses have extensive experience in WMS implementation, enabling us to provide high-quality and efficient service.
'NX Okayama' solves three logistics challenges.
Equipped with a high-performance system and located in a prime location, NX Okayama solves the challenges faced by many companies.
Solving lead time and transportation arrangement problems
Due to the impact of so-called work-style reforms, there are particular concerns about a shortage of truck transport capacity.
'NX Okayama' is located in Okayama Prefecture, a cross-point in western Japan.
Reduce long-distance transportation of goods and product inventory. We provide efficient delivery to major cities in Western Japan.
Furthermore, by coordinating with our air cargo division located within the same facility, we can respond immediately to urgent transportation requests.
Aging of our company warehouse
The following are common challenges we hear from companies that own their own warehouses:
- The warehouse itself is aging and needs to be rebuilt, but this is proving difficult to implement.
- Securing personnel for warehouse operations is difficult for various reasons.
- Delays and stagnation in the procurement of parts from overseas, which were faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Securing domestic storage facilities to avoid the problems mentioned above is also difficult.
NX Okayama is a warehouse equipped with BCP (Business Continuity Plan) measures, including earthquake resistance. Furthermore, it can quickly supply parts to the Setouchi industrial zone, where many factories are located.
Daily inventory management
Logistics managers often find themselves caught between the manufacturing and sales departments, facing daily inventory management challenges. A common problem is excess inventory and insufficient storage space due to the sales department's desire to keep stock on hand for immediate shipment. By combining warehouse functions utilizing various logistics package systems with all transportation functions, we control the entire logistics process, not only solving storage space shortages but also supporting our customers' sales expansion.
