| Canon Europa, the European sales subsidiary of Canon Inc., operates two parts plants outside of Amsterdam. Canon Europa is responsible for distributing all Canon products to a wide-ranging sales area, which includes the Middle East and African regions. In order to accommodate the increasing number of orders in a timely manner, Canon Europa selected Daifuku to update its Unit Load and Mini Load Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems (AS/RS). The retrofits of both systems took place without impacting the operations of the plants. As part of the retrofit, Canon Europa worked to increase the speed of the cranes and peripheral equipment. Also involved in the retrofit of the old systems was the replacement of five cranes and upgrading the old pallet system to five STVs. After the retrofit, storage space increased by 20% and the processing capacity per hour improved by 75%. |

| Every year Cox Target Media mails over 500 million of the familiar blue, #10 Valpak envelopes containing more than 19 billion coupons. Faced with rising variable costs and looming capacity constraints, Cox managers could see a rapidly approaching day when the company’s growth would overtake its production capacity. To automate the material flow between the printing and envelope wrapping processes and the buffer storage areas, Cox called on the expertise of Daifuku America Corp.’s Factory and Distribution Automation division in Salt Lake City. |

| Distributing more than 120 million pieces of mail to individual clients worldwide each year would be a tough assignment for any company. But for Fidelity Investments, one of the world's largest managers of mutual funds, handling the distribution of financial product literature from two centers across the country made the assignment even trickier. Adding to the challenge, both centers were running out of capacity due to Fidelity's rapid growth. The company solved the problem by consolidating its two printing and distribution centers into one facility, located near Cincinnati. Daifuku America's fully integrated system gives Fidelity unprecedented speed in order picking, continuous inventory tracking, significantly more throughput in less space, near perfect order fulfillment, and the virtual elimination of inventory-related paperwork. And the system does it all in far less space. |

| Because of an increase in health-conscious attitudes over the past years, wine consumption is three times higher than it was 10 years ago. Tokyo-based Mercian Corporation, a leading domestic wine maker in Japan, cut inventory and lead-time in half while doubling shipping capacity. This was accomplished by centralizing all inventory from warehouse locations, and introducing an AS/RS system and innovative picking robots. Daifuku’s solution for Mercian’s Fujisawa Factory included, among other things, 28 high-speed transport vehicle STVs (Sorting Transfer Vehicles) that offer key transfer operation between storing, picking and retrieving; Unit Load AS/RS with 22 S/R machines and a 9,636 storage capacity; and six high-capacity picking robot that increased picking capacity by nearly 300%. |

| In August 2000, eleven major material handling companies in Europe bid on the automation work for Netto’s new distribution center in Koge, near Copenhagen, Denmark. Daifuku was selected, and formed a close alliance with ABB, an affiliate, and other dominate material handling makers in Denmark to successfully complete the largest project for the European market on time. The Koge distribution center utilizes Daifuku’s Unit Load Automated Storage/Retrieval System (AS/RS), 40 high speed Storage Transfer Vehicles (STVs), and Warehouse Management System (WMS by ABB). Netto regards its new distribution center as the first step toward modernizing supply chains across the company. Netto won the 2004 Denmark Logistics award as a result of its consistent efforts in logistics activities and achieving cost reduction and increased work efficiency at its new distribution center. |

| With the spread of health-conscious attitudes over the past several years, milk consumption began to rapidly increase in China, especially in the metropolitan areas, and it is expected to grow even more in the future. In anticipation of future demand, Yili, a top dairy producer in China, built the largest and most advanced milk processing plant in Asia, along with a distribution center. Daifuku worked with Yili to implement many measures to make the factory and distribution center efficient and productive. Yili’s distribution center introduced the Unit Load AS/RS Rack-Supported Building System (RB) with a 21,024 pallet-storing capacity and a load handling area. In the factory, palletizing robots stack the cartons of milk on pallets, and the pallets are then stored temporarily in the AS/RS, delivered by a loop-type high-speed Sorting Transfer Vehicle (STV). |
