When Manpower isn’t Enough—A Case Study on How Colony Brands, Inc. Integrated HighJump to High-Speed Automation to Maximize Throughput

Date: Monday 7 March, 3:50 p.m.

Description: At some point, supply chain executives realize that manpower simply isn’t enough to meet spikes in customer demand. Simply put, adding automation and advanced material handling equipment often becomes the focus for executives attempting to address capacity constraints. The challenge becomes how to take your warehouse management system (WMS) to the next level of sophistication and integrate automation into your product flow.

Networking during the previous Elevate event.

This presentation will focus on how Colony Brands, Inc. was able to integrate its HighJump Supply Chain Advantage solution with a fully automated material handling system and real time parcel rating system.

“Implementing material handling automation in your distribution center to achieve increased throughput capacity and labor productivity can entail much more than just an integration project,” said Krabbe.

“Successful implementations are only achieved with the foundation of a quality design and the diligent coordination of multiple vendors. This presentation will discuss how Colony Brands, Inc. and enVista partnered to review the retailer’s HighJump WMS configuration and modified the solution to best support and maximize the potential of its new material handling system.”
