Warehouse Execution Systems
NEXUS WES software uses real-time data and adaptive learning to balance work and optimize flow throughout distribution centers.
What is a WES?
A Warehouse Execution System (WES) is performance optimization software that sits below a WMS and encompasses a WCS. It uses sophisticated algorithms to leverage real-time inputs from all automation, along with 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 because it integrates with the many components of the warehouse ecosystem and material handling equipment. This integration allows smooth data exchange and coordination among different systems, significantly improving overall operational efficiency and accuracy in the warehouse.
NEXUS WES
Pyramid‘s Warehouse Execution System software is the “brain” of your automated material handling systems. NEXUS uses real-time data and adaptive learning to intelligently maximize resource efficiency and balance work for optimum material flow and throughput.
Built on a Material Handling Legacy
Built on over 30 years of software development expertise with Pyramid Director and CORS WES products, NEXUS offers a web-based front end for an even more intuitive user experience and configurable workspace. The software features customizable dashboards and identifies bottlenecks and performance issues more quickly. The web-based “Information Anywhere” interface allows operators to access data and troubleshoot issues from any device at any time. With NEXUS WES, response times to bottlenecks or other performance issues have been reduced by 25 to 50% per incident.
NEXUS was engineered to integrate with automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), robotics, and other emerging warehouse automation technologies to optimize their utilization in omnichannel environments. NEXUS WES also controls associated processes like inventory management, decanting, and cycle counting.
Warehouse Execution Systems Features
Order Fulfillment
To optimize order fulfillment, NEXUS dynamically determines the best picks and routes for each order. Travel time is minimized and productivity is increased by accounting for factors such as order priority, inventory availability, proximity to pick locations, and resource availability.
Integration Optimization
NEXUS coordinates AS/RS, AMRs, conveyor and sortation, pick-to-light and other subsystems so each is used to its capacity while the whole system stays in balance.
Real-Time Visibility
NEXUS WES empowered a third-party logistics provider to help a beauty and retail brand pick 500,000 units daily for e-commerce orders shipped directly to customers during peak season, achieving a fivefold increase in efficiency.
