THE CHALLENGE

Manage complex physical flows safely and efficiently

In a large-scale corporate environment, where technical, scientific, and administrative teams operate in parallel, managing physical objects becomes a constant challenge.

For years, these exchanges have relied on overcrowded reception areas and manual processes—a model poorly aligned with the agility, traceability, and autonomy demanded by a global company like Johnson & Johnson.

When internal logistics slows down teams, internal physical flows affect multiple areas:

01

External and internal parcels accumulated at reception

01

Departmental briefcase dependent on specific individuals

01

Constant interruptions to IT, Facility or Administration teams

01

Exchange of sensitive documents without digital traceability

The result wasn't just operational inefficiency. It was wasted time, a lack of control, and a less-than-ideal internal experience for the employees themselves.

THE RESULT

Greater autonomy for teams, less operational friction, and total control of critical exchanges.

THE SOLUTION

Smart Lockers as corporate infrastructure

The implementation of Columat's Smart Lockers enabled Johnson & Johnson to transform its internal physical inventory management into an automated, traceable, and always-available system. The lockers began functioning as a central exchange hub, covering various use cases:

Interdepartmental briefcase

Exchange of documentation, equipment or materials between areas without overlapping schedules.

Internal and external parcel delivery

Autonomous reception and collection of packages without overloading the reception area.

CONCLUSION

A strategy designed to scale

Johnson & Johnson's experience demonstrates that operational efficiency doesn't always depend on large, visible transformations. Sometimes, the real impact lies in streamlining the invisible.

With Columat, Smart Lockers become a key component of the corporate ecosystem: a solution that connects people, spaces, and physical processes with the same digital logic that already governs the rest of the organization.
