With the intensification of efficiency competition in global supply chains, Statista data shows that the procurement volume of logistics automation equipment increased by 17% year-on-year in 2024, with demand growth in the food, automotive, and electronics industries exceeding industry averages. However, companies face three major challenges:
🚨 High maintenance costs: Traditional conveyor systems have an average annual maintenance cost of up to 18% of the value of the equipment (Deloitte Manufacturing Operations Report)
🚨 Compliance risks: The EU CE Machinery Directive was updated in 2024, and Saudi SFDA food-grade certification coverage has increased to 100%
🚨 Adaptation difficulties: The humid and hot environment in Southeast Asia leads to a 42% higher failure rate for equipment compared to temperate regions
