UPS has opened a new distribution center at the Calgary International Airport (YYC) to provide businesses with direct access to the U.S. and international markets. The facility, built at a cost of $30 million, is designed to allow local Alberta businesses to tap into global growth markets such as China, India and Mexico. "Despite the recent recession, Calgary's economy still stands as a growth engine for Canada with many businesses in the area looking to take advantage of emerging markets overseas," says Mike Tierney, president of UPS Canada. "The rise of middle classes in China and India offers great potential to businesses in the Calgary area." There are many good reasons for cutting use of electric power in a distribution center, including lower operating costs and reduced carbon emissions, but in some areas of the world, it may be more a matter of absolute necessity.

First, to Amazon, for which news broke in late December that it had been awarded a US patent in April for what it calls an "airborne fulfillment center" or AFC. The AFC is a blimp or airship that is capable of flying at altitudes of up to Considering a new automated distribution center? There can be many operational and financial rewards at the end, but it's smart to well understand the many complexities involved in facility design and approval that logistics managers and executives may face in getting there. That was clearly one of the takeways in an excellent presentation this week by Dalen Mathys-Cook of on-line grocer Peapod and Paul Huppertz, a consultant at The Progress Group, which assisted the retailer with its design for a new DC to support the Northeast market. The two told their story this week at the Material Handling and Logistics Conference in |
