As Southeast Asia’s PCB manufacturing industry continues its rapid expansion, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability while keeping pace with growing global demand. As a global leader in power management and IoT-based smart & green factory solutions, Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Company Limited introduces the Smart Warehouse and Logistics Solution, an advanced automation system designed to optimize manufacturing from production planning to material handling, setting a new benchmark for smart factory innovation.
“The transition to smart automation isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a necessity for manufacturers competing in a fast-evolving global market. Delta’s Smart Warehouse and Logistics Solution provides a fully integrated, intelligent automation framework that enables factories to achieve new levels of efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability.” Mr. Vanti Fan, Senior Sales Manager, Industrial Automation Solutions – SEA+ at Delta Electronics (Thailand)
The Industry’s Shift to Smart Automation and Sustainability
Southeast Asia is becoming a global PCB manufacturing hub, driven by increasing demand from automotive, consumer electronics, and telecommunications industries. As production volumes rise, companies are turning to automation to overcome labor shortages, eliminate inefficiencies, and scale cost-effectively. At the same time, sustainability is a growing priority, with manufacturers striving to meet Net Zero Factory goals and reduce carbon footprints.
According to market research, the Southeast Asia warehouse automation market is projected to grow from USD 640 million in 2023 to USD 1.16 billion by 2028, reflecting a 12.51% CAGR. Meanwhile, Thailand and Malaysia are emerging as key destinations for global PCB manufacturers, reinforcing the need for advanced automation solutions that improve productivity, resilience, and environmental responsibility.
A Breakthrough in Smart & Sustainable Manufacturing
The Delta Smart Warehouse and Logistics Solution addresses these challenges with a fully automated, AI-driven ecosystem that integrates Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Equipment Automatic Programming (EAP), Material Control Systems (MCS), and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). This seamless automation enhances operational efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability.
By integrating automation, manufacturers can optimize operation efficiency and reduce cost, aligning with global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. The use of AGVs eliminates unnecessary energy-intensive material handling, while real-time data-driven decisions help prevent overproduction and excess inventory, two major contributors to industrial waste.
Operational Framework
Key Benefits for Manufacturers
The Delta Smart Warehouse and Logistics Solution offers a range of benefits designed to enhance efficiency, safety, and accuracy in PCB manufacturing. By enabling automated, round-the-clock operations, manufacturers can maximize throughput and significantly improve production capacity. The integration of AI-enabled automation reduces human error, ensuring higher precision and accuracy in manufacturing processes. Workplace safety is also improved, as automation reduces human exposure to hazardous environments, such as chemical processing areas.
This solution not only enhances operational efficiency but also helps manufacturers optimizing labor cost minimizing waste and streamlining workflows. Additionally, its integration of real-time logistics and just-in-time material handling optimizes supply chain management, reducing manpower and unnecessary emissions from machine. As a result, manufacturers can lower their overall carbon footprint while meeting sustainability targets. By embracing smart automation, companies can drive both productivity and environmental responsibility, ensuring long-term competitiveness and resilience in the evolving manufacturing landscape.
