DACHSER showcases its digitalized integrated logistics solutions at ITAP Singapore

With the motto “Optimal Fulfilment Through Integrated Connectivity”, DACHSER Singapore exhibited at the industrial tradeshow with a Virtual Reality (VR) station and presented its IT capabilities at the Sandbox presentations platform.

Frank Stadus, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Singapore, led the DACHSER team at the Industrial Transformation Asia Pacific 2019.

In October, DACHSER Singapore participated as an exhibitor at the Industrial Transformation Asia Pacific (ITAP) 2019  for the second consecutive year. ITAP is the Asian counterpart of the iconic Hannover Messe, a leading industrial tradeshow and the region’s premier event for promoting Industry 4.0. This year’s exhibition attracted more than 18,000 attendees from 55 countries and 350 exhibitors from 30 countries.

Industry 4.0, originated from Germany, is now adopted worldwide at varying stages of implementation. With Singapore and Germany facing similar challenges such as an ageing workforce, industrial automation is one way to overcome such challenges, and improve productivity

With interconnectivity being a key theme at the event, the DACHSER booth was aptly themed “Optimal Fulfilment Through Integrated Connectivity”. DACHSER Singapore's  position at the event as the only logistics service provider, served as a representation of the interaction between integrated supply chain solutions and industry 4.0 within the context of the global value chain.

Visitors got to know DACHSER by visual tools and informative presentations

The Virtual Reality (VR) station at the DACHSER booth drew some crowds and provided an opportunity for the team to present DACHSER’s contract logistics capabilities. Booth visitors were curious to experience and interact with our virtual warehouse space.

At the “Sandbox” presentations platform, Frank Stadus, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics Singapore, led the DACHSER team with Katharina Klaeser, Regional Key Account Manager, and Sunanda Dutta, Inside Sales from the local sales team to present DACHSER’s IT capabilities. The focus of the presentation was the in-house built homogeneous IT landscape which provides a digitalized and transparent platform for data exchange, and at the same time offers reliability in terms of  IT security.

Stadus believes that DACHSER’s participation at ITAP is a commitment to expanding the business and increasing its presence within the Asia Pacific, a region with a rapid growth in technology. “Our dedicated local team had the opportunity to not only network with professionals from a broad range of industries such as electronics  and biotechnology, among others, but also to present DACHSER as a reliable partner in providing integrated logistics solutions,” Stadus concluded the success of the tradeshow.

COVID-19 update: Impact on DACHSER’s operations in India

Due to the outbreak of second wave of Coronavirus, we would like to give you an update about the impact on DACHSER’s operations in India. The situation as of today, April 28, 2021, is as follow:

DACHSER branches in India

  • Most branch offices across India are being kept closed as a precautionary measure due to the sudden rise of COVID cases. Our teams are working from home, with only skeletal staff at the offices and hence there are likely to be delays in responses due to the ongoing crisis.
  • As a consequence of the lockdown, there are some operational impacts for air, sea, customs clearance and domestic trucking.

Air freight

  • Most countries have barred passenger traffic from India leading to no passenger carrying flights operating on International routes from/to India.
  • This has created some additional constraint on already stressed space availability situation.
  • Rates are bound to inch upwards for all sectors.
  • Transit times too have increased as a consequence of capacity crunch.

Sea freight

  • Sea freight was already facing the challenges due to the Suez Canal blockage end of March.
  • Ports and terminals are functioning normally, but vessel schedules are impacted on account of the Suez Canal blockage as well as the sudden rise of COVID cases in India.
  • Delays, roll overs are expected. Customers are advised to factor in delays of 1-2 weeks while planning their inventories.
  • Expect more delays in communication or operations due to increasing COVID infections among staff at ports, customs, CFS and shipping lines.

Customs

  • We do not have any unexpected disruptions in cargo movement in India, nor is any work stoppage expected at present.
  • Customs clearance activities are functional at the movement.
  • Customs is working with less manpower, no Customs Brokers is allowed to meet the customs officials, all processes is done faceless and things are moving in slow phase.

At DACHSER, we have undertaken significant measures to ensure our employees’ health and safety, at the same time continue to manage our day-to-day operations with minimal impact to our customers’ supply chains. Our teams are working diligently by all possible means in these testing times to assist and to overcome the challenges being faced.

Please rest assured that we will keep you updated of any changes to the current situation. hould you have any concerns and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative in the region.
