WES (Warehouse Execution System)

Warehouse Execution System

Execution layer that dynamically orchestrates warehouse work, labor and automation between WMS and controls.

Examples

  1. 01The WES decides each minute which orders go to robots, which to manual pickers and in what order, based on truck cutoffs.
  2. 02Before go-live, the team tests the WES release rules for peak days such as Black Friday, with three times the normal order volume.
  3. 03WES data shows which zones are idle and which are overloaded every hour, so the shift leader can move pickers before queues build up.
