Your route to smooth operations

Warehouse Execution Systems (WES) control the physical movement of materials and goods in the warehouse. They bridge the gap between Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and the Material Handling Equipment (MHE), orchestrating tasks to ensure smooth operations. WES receives instructions from the WMS during inventory processing, such as: 

  • Diverting cartons to labelling stations. 
  • Sorting cartons by destination. 
  • Managing the capacity of packing stations. 

The WES ensures that these instructions are directed to the correct pieces of MHE, parsed, orchestrated, and routed effectively. It can also format the messages so they meet the specific requirements of the Warehouse Control System (WCS), ensuring compatibility and boosting efficiency. 

When is a WES a good idea? 

  1. High Complexity in Warehouse Operations: A WES becomes necessary when warehouses deal with high volumes of inventory, diverse workflows, or complex processes such as multi-step sorting, routing, or packing.
  2. Integration of Multiple MHEs and Systems: If your warehouse requires integration between multiple types of equipment and systems (like ASRS, conveyors, and sorters) and needs real-time synchronisation across them, a WES ensures operational harmony.
