Nexa Ware, the joint venture founded earlier this year by Tsubakimoto Chain and KDDI, announced the launch of its latest innovation, the “Nexa Warehouse Optimizer.”

This cutting-edge data analytics service is designed to revolutionize warehouse operations in logistics and address the logistical challenges and labor shortages expected in 2024. Nexa Ware was founded to provide next-generation logistics warehouse automation solutions, combining Tsubakimoto Chain’s expertise in industrial automation with KDDI’s advanced technology capabilities. The launch of the Nexa Warehouse Optimizer represents a significant advancement in this mission.

Nexa Warehouse Optimizer increases warehouse efficiency through comprehensive data analysis and digitalization. By leveraging warehouse data, the service optimizes entire work processes, automates shift planning taking into account personnel, workload and time, and provides actionable insights via a user-friendly web dashboard. A demonstration in FY 2023 at the KDDI Logistics Center showed a remarkable 1.4x increase in work efficiency.

The launch of this service will coincide with KDDI’s launch of WAKONX, a new business platform for the AI ​​era, which will be unveiled in May 2024. WAKONX is designed to drive customers’ business growth and address critical social issues. By integrating the Nexa Warehouse Optimizer into WAKONX Logistics, KDDI and Tsubakimoto Chain are strengthening their commitment to transforming the logistics industry.

Nexa Ware’s innovative approach not only focuses on optimizing labor efficiency through automation and robotics, but also supports the digital transformation (DX) of warehouses. This complete solution streamlines the entire logistics process, from data-driven optimization to efficient operations and deliveries, while contributing to supply chain optimization through the physical internet.
