How PRD Safeguarded Product Quality With Akila’s Smart Warehouse Solution 

When it comes to storing luxury goods, precision isn’t optional—it’s mission critical. PRD, operator of some of the largest cosmetics warehouses in APAC, faced a challenge familiar to logistics leaders worldwide: how to maintain uncompromising indoor environmental quality (IEQ) across massive facilities while advancing sustainability and operational efficiency.

At their 54,698 sqm flagship facility for LVMH in Asia, PRD needed a solution that could guarantee climate stability for high-value perfumes and cosmetics—products especially vulnerable to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Past incidents of heat damage underscored the stakes. That’s when PRD turned to Akila’s AI-powered digital twin platform to transform operations from reactive oversight to proactive intelligence.

Precision Climate Control for Luxury Protection

PRD’s top priority was to eliminate the risk of environmental damage to sensitive products. Akila’s platform deployed AIoT-enabled HVAC automation with adaptive, zone-based scheduling, ensuring that every section of the warehouse maintained consistent conditions.

• Stable temperature and humidity control across all 54,698 sqm of storage space

• Energy-efficient operations, balancing precision with sustainability

• Compliance with LVMH’s stringent quality standards

The result: a resilient climate control system that safeguards product integrity and reduces waste, ensuring that every shipment meets the highest luxury standards.

Real-Time Facility Oversight

Before Akila, PRD’s legacy system limited visibility and slowed response times. Now, operations are digitized, centralized, and accessible remotely 24/7.

• Cloud-based dashboards provide real-time insights into system performance

• Remote access allows troubleshooting from anywhere in the world

• Proactive management minimizes downtime and delays

For PRD, this meant transforming facility management into a seamless, globally accessible operation, ensuring agility even under unexpected conditions.

Continuous Compliance Monitoring

Maintaining LVMH’s strict storage requirements demanded more than static reports—it required continuous, verifiable data. Akila deployed a network of 26 smart sensors throughout the warehouse to track environmental conditions minute by minute.

• Temperature and humidity monitoring at multiple points across the facility

• Live analytics and alerts to flag deviations instantly

• A Digital Twin interface that visualizes IEQ performance in real time

With a closed-loop system driven by live data, PRD can prove compliance at all times, instilling confidence across operations and with stakeholders.

Unified Digital Operations for ESG Leadership

PRD wasn’t just looking for compliance—they wanted a future-ready platform to advance ESG goals and scale with new demands. Akila delivered an integrated digital ecosystem that goes beyond monitoring:

• End-to-end workflows that streamline operations and break down silos

• AI-driven automation that optimizes energy consumption

• A scalable architecture that supports expansion and evolving sustainability benchmarks

By unifying operations on a single platform, PRD enhanced efficiency while positioning their facility as a model for ESG-driven warehousing.

Setting the Standard for Smart Logistics

Through their partnership with Akila, PRD has demonstrated what the future of smart logistics looks like: resilient, intelligent, and sustainable.

• Product quality protected with precision IEQ control

• Operational visibility unlocked with real-time remote management

• Compliance assured through continuous monitoring

• Sustainability advanced via digital workflows and energy efficiency

What PRD achieved with Akila offers a replicable blueprint for logistics leaders everywhere. As supply chains grow more complex and consumer expectations rise, the ability to connect, control, and optimize environments at scale is no longer optional—it’s the new standard.

PRD did it. Now it’s your turn.
