Together, companies will conquer supply chain complexity through latest WMS, WES, system design, MHE, and automation solutions

Just like WES, robot operating systems are undergoing a transformation that may change the way we manage distribution centers.

Company promotes Bart Cera to president, names new CFO and hires 11 new associates.

Just months before the start of the 2016 holiday season, one of Gap Inc.’s distribution centers was destroyed by fire. Here’s the story of how resilience and innovation saved the day.

Gap Inc.’s Gallatin facility was designed to rapidly fill e-commerce orders while minimizing handling.

Last year, Vargo (Booth B3627) went live with three major e-commerce facilities for retailers and wholesalers, including a robotic put wall system for The Gap.

While automated equipment at today’s warehouses can be at the heart of their success, any single piece of automation needs to be balanced with upstream and downstream processes, raising the importance of software to sync the flow of work and ensure the heart of the system keeps ticking.

VARGO’s (Booth S3937) COFE Continuous Order Fulfillment Enterprise warehouse execution system (WES) has been enhanced with two new modules that enable mobility and analytics, announced COO/CFO Bart Cera in a press conference Tuesday.

The agreement includes the rights to market Knapp’s OSR Shuttle and other products.

The fashion retailer has used warehouse execution software and automation to create a true omni-channel distribution center.

American Eagle’s new DC is built around an inbound conveyor and sortation system, six multi-level pick modules and a warehouse execution system.

The “waveless” order fulfillment trend in warehouses is more than continuously releasing orders instead of batching work into waves—it’s an overall approach to metering and pacing the flow of work to optimize labor and equipment.

Company's fourth location intended to tap large technical labor pool.

As the pull of consumer demand replaces the push of the traditional supply chain, the replenishment function is being pulled in more than one direction. Following successes in pick optimization, the industry is turning its attention to reaping the benefits of refined replenishment.

Conveyors, shuttles and robots were on display, but as with last year's Modex, software is where the action is in today’s materials handling industry.
