Quality testing is a critical aspect of technology products’ warehousing and distribution process. In today’s fast-paced technology environment, it is crucial to be able to mitigate disruptions caused by excessive power consumption during the quality testing of multiple devices.

This project was also aligned with the organization’s aim to achieve a 65 percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2025 and our goal of reaching climate neutrality in our overall operations by 2030.

Powering up Technology Distribution Using Solar Energy

Challenge

Testing is the calibration process that validate the precision of testing instruments and it guarantees consistent and standardized results across various testing phases.

The process consumes a substantial amount of electricity, posing a risk of power outages when testing multiple devices simultaneously. These power outages are also a hindrance to the overall operations in the warehouse.

Approach

In our efforts to enhance energy efficiency and operational effectiveness, we supplied and installed 124 solar panels at the distribution center.

The objective is to conserve energy and augment the power supply specifically for quality testing of technology tools and machines. This expedites the product quality testing process and our commitment to rigorous standards for product quality control.

Result

The installation of solar panels in the center has significantly enhanced efficiency in client product quality testing. Previously limited to testing only two to three devices simultaneously, the updated infrastructure now allows for the concurrent testing of ten to twenty devices without encountering power outages.

This improvement has streamlined the processes within Business Unit Technology, facilitating a quicker response to clients’ needs. Moreover, the solar panel installation has resulted in almost 40 percent monthly savings in electricity usage. Additionally, this initiative stands to reduce carbon emissions by over 39 tons annually, equivalent to planting 2,700 trees per year, and diminishing coal consumption by 15 tons annually.

We are delighted to have successfully installed solar panels at our distribution center. This endeavor underscores our dedication to providing top-notch products and services to our partners, while also aligning with DKSH's sustainability goals and achieving climate neutrality in our operations by 2030.
