Jamshedpur March 6: The Central Warehouse complex was inaugurated by Dr. Petrus Blauwhoff, Independent Director, Tata Steel, on 3rd March last. It was built at an expense of Rs. 200 crore. It is located centrally inside the Jamshedpur works. The location was selected to enable all incoming vehicles to enter the Jamshedpur works, via the JMD gate, using the marine drive. This has helped to avoid all incoming vehicles to come into the city.
The Complex is designed for better utilization of vertical space up to 12 meters high, benchmark with warehouses of industries like FMCG, 3 PL Logistic etc. This is supported by material handling equipment for safe handling of materials inside the warehouse. Technology like radio frequency based shuttle and multitier drive-in system are used to enable 100% FIFO implementation in the warehouse.
The warehouse has been digitalized by implementing SAP (Extended Warehouse Management) module to improve productivity, traceability and ease of working.
