Orquestr8 Warehouse Execution System

Warehouse Execution Systems (WES) control the physical movement of materials, goods and labour 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 receive instructions from the WMS during inventory processing, such as: 

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

When is a WES a good idea? 

A WES becomes necessary whenever you need to streamline your operations, regardless of your facility’s size. With it’s ability to handle automated and manual tasks. It’s particularly valuable when:

• Your warehouse operations have grown beyond simple pick-and-pack – whether you’re managing multiple workflows, coordinating manual picking teams, organising packing stations, or handling special packaging requirements.
• You need your people and machines working in perfect sync. From helping pickers work more efficiently to coordinating conveyor systems and automated storage, a WES acts like a conductor – orchestrating your team members and equipment to create a seamless operation.
