Inclusive Warehousing Project
Inclusive Warehousing Project
Creating sustainable logistics workplaces through the harmony of people and technology.
Nippon Express’s sustainable solutions.
Nippon Express is creating warehouses where people of diverse backgrounds and abilities can work safely and with confidence. We do this through advanced logistics technologies and improvements to the workplace environment.
Service Overview
"A warehouse that is friendly to everyone" is one of the sustainable solutions promoted by Nippon Express.
In response to social challenges such as labor shortages and the need for diverse talent to thrive, we aim to achieve sustainable logistics operations by combining technologies that reduce workload with the creation of a workplace environment that embraces diversity.
This initiative is a solution that not only improves on-site operations but also enhances the value of 3PL services that support our customers' logistics infrastructure.
Introducing NX LINK Mobility
Nippon Express has developed and introduced specialized mobility vehicles to reduce the workload.
Seat height adjustment
The seat can be raised or lowered by approximately 30 cm, bringing you to roughly the same eye level as a standing person at its highest point. Safety during seat elevation is ensured by the following specifications.
● When the seat is raised, the travel speed is severely limited to a very low speed.
● The stability when the seat is raised has been tested in accordance with JIS standards.
● The seat comes with a seat belt.
Rotation in place
Because the drive wheels are located in the center of the vehicle, it can rotate within a circle with a diameter of 900 mm.
The logistics field is currently
We are at a major turning point.
With a declining birthrate and an aging population, expanding e-commerce demand, and chronic labor shortages, securing and retaining personnel to handle warehouse operations has become an even more critical management challenge for the logistics industry.
On the other hand, there are various hurdles to overcome in order to automate all tasks.
Nippon Express believes that a new type of warehouse is needed, one where people are at the center and technology supports them.
Initiatives as Sustainable Solutions
"A warehouse that's friendly to everyone" is a new warehouse model that addresses labor shortages, employee retention, and business continuity.
This new 3PL solution supports "stable supply," one of NX's six sustainability challenges, and also contributes to ESG and human capital. *The diagram is available in Japanese only.
