When companies look to upgrade their fulfilment and material handling operations, a critical decision often emerges that needs considerable thought. Do you invest in a new, purpose-built Greenfield facility or enhance the performance of an existing Brownfield site? Both options have unique trade-offs: a new Greenfield project may require meticulous planning around material handling and automation technology as part of the total construction costs, while Brownfield upgrades must carefully address existing layouts, process continuity, and future growth objectives during the inevitable transition.
Supply chain businesses are increasingly affected by shifting consumer demand, the lack of skilled labour, and the spiralling need for efficiency gains. This makes logistics automation a strategic priority, focused on the deployment of intelligent automation systems that are not only adaptable to Greenfield setups but are also retrofit-friendly for Brownfield environments.
That’s where leading systems integrator L-A-C Logistics Automation plays a transformative role. With nearly 30 years of automation expertise, L-A-C is at the forefront of designing and implementing scalable, tech-forward material handling solutions that align with their specific infrastructure needs, either building from the ground up or modernising what’s already there.
Whether building a new Greenfield facility or upgrading an existing Brownfield site, to align with specific infrastructure needs, companies are moving away from the more rigid, one-size-fits-all technologies that struggle to offer the flexibility needed to account for real-world constraints and shifting priorities, now commonplace across the logistics landscape.
Rather than forcing businesses to reshape operations around a pre-packaged system, L-A-C Logistics Automation is championing a more collaborative and customisable approach to automation solution design. This people-first mindset ensures that automation systems are tailormade to ensure they meet the unique needs of the company and its facility, taking into consideration everything from building layout and workforce dynamics to regional infrastructure and long-term growth plans.
This collaborative approach supports a dedicated partnership rooted in an understanding of the specific challenges that our customers face, whether it’s dealing with fluctuating order volumes, an unstable supply chain, overcoming labour shortages, or maximising warehouse space and material resources. And it doesn’t end there. Following the installation of a bespoke, innovative automation solution, a dedicated Aftercare programme is delivered by our Lifetime Services Team, guided by core principles to fully understand your unique needs.
We develop our teams to offer unmatched on-the-ground support across our on-call and scheduled visits, and our new on-site residency maintenance offering, where engineers are trained and developed to support your operation at the point of use.
