Sigma Healthcare: Automating Distribution with Dematic GTP
A look at how Sigma Healthcare futurized its Brisbane and Perth distribution centers using Dematic's automated Goods-To-Person technology to boost efficiency and accuracy.
In this industry video, we examine a pivotal shift in pharmaceutical logistics as Sigma Healthcare modernizes its distribution infrastructure. Facing the need to scale operations in Brisbane and Perth, Sigma moved away from traditional manual handling methods, which often introduce bottlenecks and error risks. Instead, they partnered with Dematic to implement an advanced automated Goods-To-Person (GTP) picking system.
For supply-chain professionals, this case study illustrates the tangible benefits of automation in high-volume environments. By bringing goods directly to the picker, the system eliminates unnecessary travel time and physical strain, directly addressing the limitations of manual processes. The result, as highlighted in the video, is a significant uplift in operational efficiency and picking accuracy. These improvements are not just internal metrics; they translate directly into better service levels and more reliable delivery performance for end customers.
This content is particularly relevant for those evaluating visibility and control tower strategies. While the video focuses on the physical automation layer, the underlying principle remains consistent with our Insights mission: leveraging technology to gain precise control over fulfillment operations. Understanding how automated systems like Dematic’s integrate into broader logistics networks helps professionals anticipate data flows and optimize end-to-end supply chain resilience. Watch the full demonstration to see how Sigma Healthcare achieved these results and consider how similar automation strategies might align with your own operational goals.
