WES and Warehouse Software: Intelligent Solutions for Logistics Automation

In the world of industrial automation, the concept of the intelligent warehouse is an ongoing revolution. The introduction of advanced solutions such as the Warehouse Execution System (WES) and Warehouse Control System (WCS) are radically transforming the way companies manage logistics, improving efficiency, accuracy and flexibility.

In this context, the Agilog WES software developed by Errevi Automation is proposed as an integrated solution for the management and automatic execution of all internal warehouse operations.

What are WES and Warehouse Software?

A Warehouse Execution System, or WES, is a software system designed to coordinate and optimise operational activities within an automated warehouse. It is an intermediate level between traditional WMS (Warehouse Management System) and physical devices such as stacker cranes, automated picking systems or conveyors.

Unlike a WMS that mainly deals with inventory planning and management, the WES focuses on the dynamic execution of operations, adapting in real time to warehouse conditions and effectively managing internal logistics.

Warehouse software is therefore a system that facilitates the management and organisation of warehouse resources. It includes functionalities such as inventory management, order processing, goods tracking and logistics activity planning. Although WMS and WES have common objectives, their main difference lies in the level of automation and integration with other advanced technologies.

Vantaggi dell’Implementazione del Warehouse Execution System

The benefits of using a Warehouse Execution System are manifold:

• Optimisation of operational flows: the WES constantly monitors the status of equipment and activities, ensuring a continuous and efficient flow.
• Increased accuracy and reliability: minimises human error through process automation.
• Real-time visibility: offers dashboards and reports that allow you to keep an eye on your warehouse performance at all times.
• Scalability and flexibility: WES warehouse software is easily adaptable to different company sizes and can be customised according to customer needs.
• Reduced operating costs: by improving process efficiency, significant savings are achieved.
• Integration with existing WMSs and ERPs: the system is designed to integrate easily with other logistics software already present in the company.

Agilog: the WES software developed by Errevi Automation

Agilog is the WES warehouse software developed by Errevi Automation. It is designed to dialogue with automated systems and guarantee complete, flexible and real-time control of logistics operations.

With Agilog, you can manage efficiently:

• automatic picking missions;
• stacker crane flows;
• the optimisation of loading and unloading bays;
• the interaction between logistics software and warehouse hardware.

The user interface is intuitive, designed for maximum usability by operators. Furthermore, the modularity of the software allows only the necessary functionality to be implemented, reducing start-up time and costs.
