Aramex has launched a new, partially automated fulfilment centre in Dubai to support the rapid growth of its e-commerce business with B2B retailers.

Located at Dubai Logistics City and covering 60,000 square meters, the temperature-controlled centre is one of Aramex’s largest fulfilment warehouses across the region.

It features new technologies including a ‘Pick to Light’ system, which uses light-directed picking technology to improve accuracy and efficiency, and an automated conveyer belt system.
