Rather than being just stand-alone solutions for order picking and consolidation, pick-to-light is increasingly being used in the context of integrated solutions, while new twists on light technology open up new application areas.

Warehouse execution systems sit between warehouse management and traditional control layers in today’s DC software stack, but WES is more than a visibility layer. Using rules engines and order release logic that assesses multiple factors, WES promises smarter, more productive DCs.

On Thursday at ProMatDX, Matthews Automation Solutions demonstrated its NEXUS warehouse execution system (WES).

With the growth of e-commerce, more operations are turning to automated packaging to keep pace with order fulfillment volumes and shipment cut off times. Find out the role software plays in governing the flow of the packaging process and using dimension and weight data to save on shipping costs.

As e-commerce and the resulting need to process many small orders has grown, so have pick-to-light systems. However, the technology has evolved in multiple ways to become easier to deploy for different workflows. Trends include wireless display modules, lights that illuminate an entire compartment and mobile carts with lights.

Matthews unites software and controls teams at Cincinnati Campus, enhancing support of current and prospective customers' automation installations.

As a leading provider of proven, next generation material handling solutions, Matthews has been certified by Manhattan Associates’ new partnership program.
