EPX Logistics is Egypt’s leading provider of specialized logistics services, offering tailored solutions for the pharmaceutical industry and other sectors with specific storage and transportation requirements. A part of the Egyptian Pharmex Group, with over 25 years of experience, EPX stands out for its seamless integration into clients’ supply chains, offering flexible and efficient logistics outsourcing models.
Logistics challenges
The project addresses the need to optimize operations while ensuring efficient, secure, and scalable logistics management. In the healthcare sector, logistics comes with complex challenges—from strict regulatory compliance to the protection of sensitive, temperature-controlled products.
Solution
The solution implemented integrates technologies for both ambient and cold storage, ensuring the integrity of temperature-sensitive products and enabling omnichannel operations, including order picking and pallet storage.
Smartlog has developed an advanced intralogistics solution combining AutoStore, a robotic storage system, and Galys, Smartlog’s proprietary management software that provides full real-time traceability and control.
AutoStore. A high-density robotic storage system that optimizes space and speeds up order preparation. EPX will operate two different AutoStores:
- An ambient temperature system with 5,215 bins and a handling capacity of 150 movements per hour, operated by 6 robots.
- A cold storage system (2ºC–8ºC) with 2,250 bins and a capacity of 90 movements per hour, operated by 4 robots.
Galys Warehouse Management Software. Smartlog’s Galys WMS is fully integrated with EPX’s systems, ensuring seamless data synchronization, complete traceability, and precise operational control. It enables comprehensive inventory management, automated order processing, and overall logistics optimization.
