Softeon at MODEX

Softeon will feature its new warehouse management and execution system capabilities at the MODEX 2020 trade show (Booth 7466) in Atlanta, March 9-12.

This powerful solution combines Softeon’s advanced Warehouse Management System (WMS) with new Warehouse Execution System (WES). The WES provides visibility, orchestration and optimization of order picking and related processes, which include maximizing materials handling system utilization, leveraging capabilities far above what is available today—even in advanced WMS.

As a result, Softeon’s WES enables companies to minimize total fulfillment costs while meeting customer demand and service commitments. Softeon’s WMS and WES solutions are available stand-alone—or for the first time in the industry, deployed together as a powerful Warehouse Management and Execution System.

MODEX will be held at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center from March 9-12, 2020.

In stand-alone mode, the WES can work with almost any existing WMS, from ERP to legacy to best-of-breed providers, with flexible integration and process models. Uniquely, the Softeon WES delivers significant value, not only for automated DCs but also in operations with medium levels of automation or even completely manual processes.

This approach can bring new life to aging WMS environments without the need for a full WMS replacement.

New WES capabilities include:

• Real-time visibility to throughput, bottlenecks and events
• Direct management and optimization of picking sub-systems
• Advanced, configurable optimization for order batching, release, picking and replenishment
• Workload balancing to maximize equipment utilization and flow
• Automated order release based on service commitment, shipping schedules and real-time condition monitoring
• Use of simulation to plan, re-plan and allocate resources

Benefits of the new solution include double or even triple digit improvements in productivity; reduced supervisory labor, increased distribution throughput, improved material handling system utilization, and significantly enhanced labor planning.

Booth 7466 will be a focal point at MODEX.

“This truly is a game changer in distribution Software, with Softeon now delivering on the promise of the autonomous WMS,” said Dan Gilmore, CMO at Softeon.
