Automated Warehouse of the Future In Japan - Sagawa X-Frontier

Hi everyone, today we have come to XFRONTIER, which is Japan's state-of-the-art warehouse for e-commerce businesses. It's owned by Sagama Group, which is one of the leading logistics companies in Japan. By deploying a fleet of automated robots, this facility aims to pioneer a more cost-effective and sustainable future for the delivery industry. So we're going to go inside now and check it out. XFRONTIER has been designed as Sagawa's flagship warehouse in Tokyo. Dubbed as a super hub, it's certainly an impressive undertaking. Although they did begin operations here recently, a project of this size must be developed in stages and many areas are still under construction. With a footprint of over 74,000 square meters, the facility is around four times larger than Tokyo Dome. On the roof, there's even enough room to store 300 delivery trucks. To learn more about how XFRONTIER operates, we were able to talk to one of the main executives of Sagawa Global Logistics, head of EC Logistics Tokyo, Mr. Horio. As Mr. Horio describes, the many steps required to process a package for delivery has been greatly simplified, thanks to the incredible efficiency of this automated facility. Also, after hearing many horror stories of people working in dispatch centers, it was very positive to see how all these systems at XFRONTIER drastically reduced the required manpower to achieve the same output.
