Coca-Cola Singapore has deployed five XSQUARE Technologies autonomous forklifts (AGVs) to its fleet at its regional beverage concentrate plant.

The beverage maker says XSQUARE's Springer AGVs have been integrated into the plant's shop floor and automated warehouse to transport finished goods within the premises.

Coca-Cola Singapore plant general manager Gerardo Artavia says the new AGVs “marks a new milestone in our Industry 4.0 transformation journey".

"Through our partnership with XSQUARE and ongoing efforts to fully automate our plant in Singapore, we hope to continuously improve our processes, create higher value-added jobs for our workforce, and contribute to Singapore's vibrant ecosystem for advanced manufacturing," Artavia says.

Coca-Cola Singapore says the implementation of XSQUARE's intelligent warehouse solutions has already resulted in efficiency and safety improvements and the company has recommended XSQUARE to its sister plants.

“Our technology is not just about automation; it's about enhancing human efforts and ensuring efficiency in every aspect," says Jens Bohnwagner, XSQUARE chief executive officer.

"This collaboration with Coca-Cola signifies a crucial juncture in our endeavours to revolutionise warehouses across APAC as we seek to establish new benchmarks in warehousing technology and operations."
