Panalpina has entered into a strategic alliance with technology company Honeywell to enhance worker productivity, accuracy, and efficiency across its global distribution centers.

Panalpina today announced a strategic alliance with US technology company Honeywell. Honeywell is to become a technology partner supporting Panalpina’s global innovation initiatives around connected distribution centers, connected supply chains, and connected workers. The partnership is focused on productivity, accuracy, and efficiency improvements.

Panalpina will deploy Honeywell’s industry-leading technology solutions globally at its warehouses, including voice directed solutions, mobile hand-held devices, and warehouse automation solutions. The two companies agreed to a strategic alliance to jointly collaborate and deploy solutions that deliver value to Panalpina’s global customer base.

“The partnership with Honeywell will be instrumental for our LogEx continuous improvement initiatives and support us in providing best-in-class operations to our customers worldwide,” says Mike Wilson, Panalpina’s global head of Logistics and Manufacturing.

Recent implementations of Honeywell’s Mobility Edge devices and Vocollect Voice technology in two of Panalpina’s warehouses have been very successful and shown a 15 percent improvement in productivity. “Combined with our global standardized warehouse management system and integrated solutions, Honeywell adds enabling hardware and innovative technologies to work smarter and more efficiently,” says Brian Caputo, Panalpina’s corporate head of Logistics, HR and Legal IT products.
