When teams set out to optimize warehouse operations, the intent is always the same: make the supply chain flow through the warehouse like a well-oiled machine. So, they implement a solution, then another, then another. Some conveyor. Some software. Mobile Devices. Various automation controllers. On and on.
Pretty soon, reality hits: There are dozens of discrete automated projects, but no unified solution. The collection of micro-solutions is running the people – and often running them crazy!
Usually, the solutions aren’t bad in themselves – but they are micro-solutions. They fix a specific problem without regard for the rest of the warehouse or the people involved.
That’s where ActiveIntegrator™ comes in. You can leverage the power of ActiveIntegrator™ to see the entire flow of operations, and communicate between micro-solutions, so that it all works together as a single solution. …like Imperial Trading Company did with their iSeries-connected robotics solution. …Or like McLane Company did with their multi-vendor order fulfillment solution. Both using ActiveIntegrator™.
You can do the same. Reach out for more information: Contact Sales.
We just developed and deployed the ultimate integration tool for AutomationDirect and other programmable logic controllers! Any application or cloud service can now interact with the controller, connect it to any database, and generally make it more user-accessible. A big thank you to McLane Company, Inc. for partnering with us on the first project to see it in action.
Starting today, warehouse employees will have better opportunities for long-term, manageable work.
Starting today, C-Store and grocery distributors will be able do more with the labor dollars they spend.
