Warehouse Execution Systems
What is a WES?
Warehouse Execution System, WES, is a performance optimization software that sits below a WMS and encompasses a WCS. It utilizes sophisticated algorithms to leverage real-time inputs from all automation, as well as data from inventory, order, labor, transportation and other activities with a WES in place, a distribution center’s operations can be optimized and dynamically managed, end-to-end.
A WES is essential _, as it seamlessly integrates with various components of the warehouse ecosystem, and material handling equipment. This integration allows for smooth data exchange and coordination among different systems, significantly enhancing overall operational efficiency and accuracy in the warehouse.
“The typical benefits of a WES include an 80% reduction in administrative costs, a 12% increase in units-per-hour, and a 15% improvement in throughput,” According to Logistics Viewpoints.
