June 24, 2023
Alpro pharmacy recently announced an investment of RM15 million to introduce an intelligent logistics system, expected to triple logistics efficiency of its inventory management.

​The memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Alpro Pharmacy and HIKROBOT, an international provider of machine vision and mobile robot products and solutions, will make Alpro the first in Malaysia to leverage AI logistics in the pharmaceuticals industry.

​Ph. Low Swee Siong, the CEO of Alpro Pharmacy, said: "We are delighted to cooperate with HIKROBOT to pioneer the utility of AI systems and intelligent logistics in the country. For our customers, this collaboration will also provide faster, safer and more efficient provision of our services."

With the adoption of this cutting-edge intelligent logistics system, the pharmacy can better manage its medication inventory and logistic systems. Medicine inventory management is a crucial component for medicine distributors such as Alpro in the pharmaceutical industry, as the quality and safety of medicine directly affects the consumers.

The introduction of HIKROBOT's intelligent logistics system will provide automated operations and precise management of medicine inventory, thereby reducing human error, particularly for medicine which require attentive care, such as cold chain medicine.
