Inter IKEA has selected Swisslog Malaysia for its local experience in 
implementing pallet warehouse solutions for major projects, unparallel industry 
software expertise, and strong global reputation. Swisslog 
Vectura(https://www.swisslog.com/50YearsVectura) cranes have benefited from 50 
years of continuous improvement and set the standard for innovative design in 
pallet stacker cranes for high bay warehouses. Due to its innovative and 
modular design, customers can store pallets more efficiently and cost 
effectively. With the addition of SynQ warehouse management and warehouse 
execution software, Swisslog will deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end 
material handling automation solution for Inter IKEA.

Swisslog's

ehouse-management-system-wms-mfcs) provides the platform for the Malaysian IKEA 
distribution centre, orchestrating the interaction of individual robotics, 
warehouse technologies and people to provide highly effective order fulfilment 
processes. By integrating intelligence into the operations and synchronizing 
the performance of both automated and manual warehouse equipment, businesses
