A fully-developed area for industrial logistics
Until recently, the main challenge for company logistics was the management of internal warehouses. Today, however, with the advent and development of automation and the diverse logistics solutions that have been designed and implemented to optimise the flow of raw materials and products through the company, a significant evolution of the market has led to the need to focus on the reception, storage and shipment of goods outside the production environment.
Many factors have led to this change of focus, but it is now clear that the key interest of the logistics and transport sector is the optimisation of hubs of the logistics network where goods for regional distribution arrive and are dispatched.
The business park is the most advanced response to this need for logistics and management: it is not a series of industrial buildings as modern as they are anonymous, but an area full of quality services where the needs of logistics in the strict sense are combined with the creation of value for workers and customers. It is a place where brand identity can be strengthened and the quality of work improved in tandem with workers’ motivation.
How is a logistics park organised?
A logistics park, or business park, is a large enclosed area that is accessed from a single entrance, which is carefully guarded 24 hours a day, and contains state-of-the-art facilities for the storage of goods, logistics and management offices with quality interior finishes, well-kept green areas, high quality hotels, places to eat and services for relaxation such as swimming pools and shopping centres. All these services are managed and maintained with extreme care and professionalism so that the best possible services are always available to customers.
It is, therefore, an integrated system of modern logistic depots, where the reception, storage and dispatch of goods are managed and also contains a wide range of ancillary service buildings designed to improve the quality of life of both workers permanently based there and those passing through with deliveries or shipments. It is probably not superfluous to emphasise how the provision of high quality services for a company’s employees and its partners is a key point to grow both the quality of work and the reputation of the brand and so constitutes a necessary investment for the growth of the company in the global market.
Quality, design and efficiency
If a company decides to invest in a business park, it must first ensure that the result meets its expectations in at least three criteria: the quality of the work, its design and management efficiency.
Like all major industrial building projects, a logistics park also involves the resolution of several critical issues from the point of view of the real quality of the facility, i.e. its functionality, security and complete usability. Moreover, a truly modern and avant-garde design cannot ignore the themes of environmental sustainability to create a building that, among its qualities, is green and exploits the most advanced technologies in the fields of energy and pollution reduction.
As we have mentioned, a business park is also a place that serves to strengthen the brand and its image towards workers, customers and suppliers and this is possible only if the structural quality of the buildings is combined with a particular care for design. In fact, the identity of a brand and its strength are also perceived, perhaps above all, through the intangible medium of design that gives an environment a particular allure that can not but reflect on the overall image of the company.
Finally, good management of a particularly complex facility such as a logistics park is a determining factor for its long-term economic sustainability. Since this is an important investment for a company, it must also be considered in terms of economic efficiency and this aspect can be kept under control only with careful management of routine and special maintenance and using systems and structures that consume as little energy as possible.
Trust AKNO
A logistics park, like any other man-made item, can be made well or badly. We can see low quality industrial depots, poorly equipped for a continuous and high flow of goods, perhaps even located in an area with poor services, anonymous and depressing offices and that dreariness that is, unfortunately, typical of too many industrial areas in every part of the world.
