APT Publishes Research Report: 'Forefront of Logistics Automation in Thailand'

APT Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Ryota Inoue; hereinafter 'APT') has released a free research report (white paper) titled 'What is Third-Party Maintenance (3PM)? ~A Rational Choice for Logistics Players Learned from Other Industries~', summarizing new maintenance and operation models in the logistics and material handling industry.

■ Background of the White Paper Release Currently, Thailand is highly regarded by many Japanese companies as a manufacturing and logistics base. However, it is facing rising labor wages and severe labor shortages, making on-site labor-saving and automation an urgent task. On the other hand, selecting a system suitable for the local infrastructure environment and operational customs requires advanced expertise and a proven track record.

APT has supported the logistics DX of many companies by leveraging its track record of connecting with over 40 domestic and international manufacturers (TUNAGERU INTEGRATION). Furthermore, since establishing a track record at logistics sites in Thailand for the first time in 2023, the company has been promoting project development and business expansion in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Therefore, our research team has now published the latest report focusing on 'Thailand', the logistics hub of ASEAN.

■ Highlights of the Research Report This document comprehensively explains everything from the latest trends in the logistics industry in Thailand to the barriers hindering automation, and specific approaches to solutions.
