Siemens Healthineers Warehouse outshines in Cold Chain Industry Awards

cold chain industry awards

The warehouse for Laboratory Diagnostics and Point of Care products bagged the first ever award for Operational Excellence in Cold Chain Warehousing at the Cold Chain Strategy Summit 2016, making Siemens Healthineers a proud winner. This year again at the Cold Chain Strategy Summit 2017, it bagged the award for Operational Excellence in Cold Chain Material Handling. This is the second feather in the cap of our warehouse.

The warehouse for Laboratory Diagnostics and Point of Care is the only warehouse by Siemens in India, which falls under the cold chain category. A cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain including storage and distribution activities maintaining a given temperature range, right from production site to usage at the end-customer site. Due to the nature of the diagnostic products, it is very essential that an uninterrupted and efficient cold chain is maintained throughout the journey of the product. The ISO 9001 Certified warehouse, located in Pataudi near Gurgaon, is equipped with a smart Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System to manage and ease the operations for 4,000 different stock keeping units (SKUs). The complex nature of the processes, criticality of the warehouse requirements, challenges in infrastructure, transportation and stringent regulatory framework of India along with fierce competition in the market; make this award a spectacular accomplishment.

These award have definitely put Siemens Healthineers in a different league, where our expertise and capabilities in warehousing have been recognized by the industry. It truly reflects the collaborative team work, quality adherence and customer-centric approach of the organization.
