KENGIC Sets New Benchmark for Green Smart Factories with Intelligent AS/RS Project in the Philippines

KENGIC, the world’s leading end-to-end digital and digital solutions provider for manufacturing and logistics, has successfully implemented a comprehensive Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS）for a leading international automotive parts manufacturer. Located in the client’s new intelligent production base in the Philippines—the first in the country to receive the prestigious U.S. LEED Gold certification—the project stands as a model of efficient, low-carbon Industry 4.0 operations.

Transforming Operations in a Green Ecosystem
The client’s facility is designed as a state-of-the-art green factory, integrating digital systems for energy control, air monitoring, and water recycling. However, prior to KENGIC’s involvement, the logistics operations faced significant "pain points," including a heavy reliance on manual labor, low efficiency, and a lack of digital inventory tracking.

To align the logistics capabilities with the factory's sustainable vision, KENGIC delivered an end-to-end automated solution covering the entire material flow from finished goods off-line to storage and shipping.

Technical Innovation: The "3D Logistics Network"
KENGIC’s solution overcomes the spatial constraints of a multi-floor facility through a highly integrated design:

• High-Density Intelligent Storage: The core of the warehouse features a 2,449-pallet-position AS/RS equipped with six Double-Column, Double-Deep Stacker Cranes, ensuring maximum storage utilization.

• Multi-Floor Connectivity: A custom-built steel platform system utilizes Conveyors and Straight-Rail RGVs to seamlessly connect production lines across the first and second floors, automating vertical material transfers.

• Precision Robotics: A fleet of five Latent AGVs （Automated Guided Vehicles） executes precise handling between production lines and the AS/RS, achieving a fully unmanned workflow.

• Forward-Looking Planning: The layout systematically integrates current manual processes while reserving infrastructure for future expansions （Phase II）.

Overcoming Extreme Challenges
The project execution required navigating complex technical and environmental hurdles. The system was designed to operate with zero downtime in a harsh tropical environment characterized by 40°C temperatures and 85% humidity.

Additionally, the implementation team faced significant on-site challenges, including discrepancies between architectural drawings and actual ceiling heights. KENGIC engineers performed dynamic design adjustments and optimized equipment layouts to resolve these issues. Through rigorous debugging of conveyors and lifts, and by adapting technical standards to meet local regulations, the team ensured a compliant and precise delivery.

Results and Client Recognition
Since going live, the system has stabilized operations under extreme weather conditions, resulting in a warehouse efficiency increase of over 50% and the complete elimination of manual material handling.

The project has garnered high praise from the client. In a formal letter of commendation, the client noted:
"It is worth affirming that your company maintained close follow-up throughout the trial run, handling issues in a timely manner and answering our operators' questions. Your attentive service has been the guardian of our project's stable operation."

By solving traditional efficiency bottlenecks through deep automation, KENGIC has not only helped its client secure LEED Gold status but has also provided a replicable path for intelligent upgrades in the global manufacturing sector.
