Softeon has introduced a new solution that combines its Warehouse Management System (WMS) with new Warehouse Execution System (WES) capabilities. The WES provides visibility, orchestration and optimization of order picking and related processes, which include maximizing materials handling system utilization.
Softeon’s WMS and WES solutions are available stand-alone or deployed together as a Warehouse Management and Execution System. In stand-alone mode, the WES can work with almost any existing WMS, from ERP to legacy to best-of-breed providers, with flexible integration and process models.
New WES capabilities include:
● Real-time visibility to throughput, bottlenecks and events.
● Direct management and optimization of picking sub-systems.
● Advanced, configurable optimization for order batching, release, picking and replenishment.
● Workload balancing to maximize equipment utilization and flow.
● Automated order release based on service commitment, shipping schedules and real-time condition monitoring.
● Use of simulation to plan, re-plan and allocate resources.
