How to provide security to our operation against the uncertainty generated by a panorama like the one currently showed by the COVID-19 pandemic?
In an era where the information management through the digitization of processes is a fundamental piece for every Distribution Center, this type of panorama makes it a primary need to have automation and intelligent software that provide the necessary data to deal with uncertainty successfully.
That is why today at G.I.Eicom we share 2 solutions that cannot be missing in the intralogistics of your DC to maintain its competitiveness even in times of uncertainty:
1. WMS (Warehouse Management System)
The WMS will allow you to visualize the global panorama of your Distribution Center by knowing the data of each area of intralogistics operation. In this way, you will get all the useful information at the right time for effective decision making.
2. Automation + WES (Warehouse Execute System)
Within the Distribution Centers, most of the processes are capable of being automated, but one of the points where the customer experience is reflected is the orders assortment, so the concern of all those responsible for logistics takes them to implement automation that maximizes the degree of agility and precision in this process.
For this, it is extremely important that all the automation within the DC are interconnected online through software that also provides them with intelligence to optimize the assortment.
This is where the WES (Warehouse Execute System) comes into play.
In this scheme, the WMS transfers the orders to the WES so that it indicates to the automation the priority level and the optimal assortment method according to the channel to which it is going to be distributed (e-commerce, retail, wholesalers, and so on).
Whatever automation you decide to implement, for example: an uniload for pallets assortment, a miniload or Sorter for boxes and items, intralogistics automation leads to exceptional coordination between picking and shipment.
Finally, it is particularly important that both software’s are also coordinated with the Transportation Management System (TMS) software to complete the order fulfillment cycle in the shortest time possible.
In this way, the intralogistics automation of your CEDIS will allow you to maintain the competitiveness of your operation in a much easier, more practical and safer way.
