New Zealand Medical Manufacturer Spex Boosts Warehouse Efficiency with New Technology
A New Zealand-based medical equipment manufacturer, Spex, has successfully improved its warehouse operations by adopting new technology. The company recently integrated Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems provided by Zebra Technologies to manage its inventory and order fulfillment processes.
By implementing this new digital solution, Spex has reported a significant improvement in its daily operations. The company stated that its picking efficiency—the speed and accuracy with which staff collect items for orders—has increased by more than 50 per cent.
This upgrade allows the company to track medical equipment more effectively as it moves through the warehouse. Before the change, manual processes often took longer and were more prone to human error. Now, the automated system helps staff locate products quickly, ensuring that medical supplies are ready for delivery much faster than before.
For the New Zealand manufacturing sector, this move highlights a growing trend of using digital tools to stay competitive. As businesses face pressure to deliver products quickly, investing in technology like RFID is becoming a popular way to reduce costs and improve service for customers.
Spex plans to continue using these tools to support its production goals. This development is a positive sign for local manufacturers looking to modernize their facilities and improve overall productivity in the global market.
