Warehouse execution system software got its start by helping DC operations to balance the flow of work across various automated systems, with only WMS and WCS software in place to help. WES is breaking ground again, with solution providers talking about orchestration with labor resources, which stands to broaden its appeal.

In this webcast you will come away with the information and insight you need to develop the right process and make the right choice for your organization.

The latest robotics software trend is platforms that specialize in orchestrating interactions between different robotic systems and other “agents.” This multi-agent orchestration niche involves multiple players with varied approaches—but they all promise to smooth handoffs and speed up automation onboarding.

It’s one of the most exciting times in our industry

The acquisition provides Softeon with AttunedLab’s next generation, fully composable tools for integration and orchestration of materials handling systems, advanced user interface development, analytics, and more.

Most have only basic knowledge of warehouse execution systems (WES), among other survey findings. When it comes to automation, only 12.9% of respondents said they were highly satisfied with their level of DC automation, though 29.9% said their companies would continue or pursue significant or extreme levels of DC

With all the emphasis these days on automation, conventional warehousing is often overlooked if not forgotten. In fact, conventional warehousing is alive, well and thriving even at high-volume facilities and in e-commerce.

Distributed order management software centers on fulfillment rules and order routing logic, but DOM can also expose promise dates and shipping options with integration to front end e-commerce systems. Understanding the power of DOM’s enterprise view of inventory, its integration mechanisms and its dynamic rules engines are part of effective distributed order fulfillment.

Softeon (Booth C7466), whose software spans warehouse management system (WMS), warehouse execution system (WES), as well as distributed order management (DOM) functionality, stressed the capabilities of its solution set to support a “smart, automated warehouse of the future” concept at Modex.

Inventory control at the warehouse level is simple, right? Follow WMS processes, set some minimum SKU levels, be diligent about scan verifications to track consumption, and you’ve nailed it. While that worked 20 years ago, in today’s more complicated world with automated storage and fulfillment systems that hold inventory, you may need WES capabilities.

Scores come after evaluation across nine WMS "critical capability" categories

Warehouse execution systems are all about orchestrating busy fulfillment centers in the here and now. Some WES solutions are moving into more predictive capabilities that simulate what is likely to play out in the near future, recommending actions. It’s all part of the fast-evolving WES solutions space.

Better body mechanics. Less potential Covid exposure. Improved picking performance. Fewer injuries. Those are four of the benefits that wearables and warehouse software are bringing to people out on the DC floor.
