Starlinks, Swisslog develop Saudi MRO warehouse

Starlinks has selected Swisslog to automate warehouse operations at a new aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Saudi Arabia. The solution will combine AutoStore, pallet automation and Swisslog’s SynQ software to manage aviation spare parts and other materials at the facility.

The system will connect receiving, inspection, storage and order fulfilment, supporting the movement of both small parts and palletised inventory. AutoStore will provide high-density storage for MRO spare parts, while pallet automation will handle larger inventory.

The automation will help improve storage capacity, inventory availability and the movement of critical aircraft components as demand for maintenance services and spare parts grows in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East.

Alexander Komianos, Managing Director UAE & Solutions, Starlinks, said: “Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in aviation, logistics and industrial capabilities. These developments require supply chains that can scale efficiently and support increasingly demanding operations.” The solution forms part of Starlinks’ wider supply chain offering for a leading Middle Eastern aviation company and is designed to support future growth at the new MRO facility.
