April 2024:
In conjunction with Huawei, the Indonesian telecoms carrier Telkomsel has opened a 5G Smart Warehouse and 5G Innovation Center in the Bekasi Regency of West Java. The business claims that this facility is the first of its kind in Indonesia. According to Telkomsel, this facility demonstrates the potential of 5G technology to revolutionize warehouse management, hence increasing operating efficiency and generating new possibilities for the logistics sector.
In its statement regarding the inauguration, Telkomsel stated, "We are optimistic that the deployment of the 5G Smart Warehouse alongside the 5G Innovation Center's conceptual solutions will inaugurate a transformative era for professionals within the logistics sector, particularly by enhancing managerial competencies and amplifying the operational efficacy of warehousing systems."
Telkomsel was quoted as saying that the 5G Smart Warehouse makes use of cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analytics in order to simplify operations, improve safety and security, boost efficiency, and cut down on energy usage as well as any unexpected losses. In addition, warehouse managers can make use of digital twins and real-time data analysis in order to improve inventory management and avoid stockouts.
Additionally, the 5G network allows staff members and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) to communicate in a timely and precise manner, maximizing the efficiency of the flow of products. Furthermore, the business said that clever security systems driven by video and infrared sensors safeguard the safety of the warehouse.
In addition, the 5G BTS technology used to power the warehouse uses just 5 Watts, which is the same amount of energy saved by a single energy-saving light bulb. This makes it a sustainable option for the future.
As part of its efforts to modernize warehouse management in order to promote the digital economy and get closer to the Golden Indonesia Vision 2045, Telkomsel has said that this technological advancement is happening.
