Warehouse of The Future

In the ever-evolving age of technology, it was only a matter of time before the tried-and-tested systems employed by the massive logistics industry began to keep pace. The idea is to do more with less—a feat that can only be accomplished if investments are made to improve infrastructure, evolve old systems, and reimagine the different elements that make up the business.

The warehouse, being a critical component of the logistics supply chain, is one such aspect. And LBC’s response to the demands of the Internet age demonstrates their commitment to innovation and efficiency.

As plans for LBC Sucat Warehouse begins to take shape, it clearly puts the spotlight on the level of thought that went into it. A pioneering move from the company sees the rise of the first fully automated sorting solution in the country. The move to automate, which is backed by data-driven technology hopes to improve the operational efficiency of LBC while complementing the expertise and experience of its human personnel.

Architecturally, the space highlights an architectural minimalist industrial aesthetic that will house both a central warehouse and offices. Three levels will be dedicated for the warehouse for a total of 6,500 square meters, which can accommodate conveyors, storage areas, forklift driveways, air operations, retail suppliers, SCS returns, V cargo, and 86 loading bays. The third level of the warehouse is built with the option for future expansion.

The office building is envisioned to house the office of LBC executives and staff, with ample meeting and board rooms and other essential spaces required to ensure the seamless operations of LBC. Additionally, canteen and locker rooms for team members will be housed in the same compound, where it will be housed in a separate structure along with the admin building that’s set to house the command center.

The industry is moving towards a more integrated approach that supports transparency and visibility—this is a tangible representation of it. The whole concept driving this project is meant to maximize LBC’s efficiency. We’re investing in systems, infrastructure, and technology that will allow LBC to meet the shifting demands of our market in the best way possible.
