Guide to WES - Warehouse Execution Systems Software
How organizations can utilize Warehouse Execution Systems software to optimize labor and equipment performance in today's warehouse and distribution environment.
As automation systems became more sophisticated, a new generation of WCS software was needed to support the greater functionality of advanced systems.
A WES includes features typically found in a WMS, so inventory can be more actively managed to ultimately improve task processing performance within the facility. The timeliness and responsiveness of a single system allocating inventory and directing the warehouse automation to act upon it significantly improves the efficiency of the overall system.
A good modern WES can help coordinate and control functions that would ordinarily require WCS, such as picking system management, packing system management, and sortation. Further, a good modern WES can help on the WMS side as well, coordinating and controlling functions such as labor management, shipping management, and SKU movement around the warehouse.
