Dear Warehousing & Distribution Professionals, In 2020, Dematic will design and introduce new solutions to power the future of commerce. As an intralogistics innovator trusted by thousands of the world’s leading and emerging brands, we support a critical component of our customers’ business strategy in a complex, on-demand economy, whether it’s in manufacturing, warehouse or distribution environments.

Here are some examples of how Dematic order fulfillment and automated material handling systems can help your company realize greater efficiencies, expand functionality, improve performance and thrive in the future of commerce.

Warehouse Execution System – Dematic iQ Warehouse Execution System (WES) is the software platform that optimizes and synchronizes workflows in the production or distribution operation. For example, Dematic iQ captures extensive real-time data of all processes in the operation. Software optimization algorithms continuously assess open orders, the resources available, and the inventory to dynamically adjust workflows. The results: you can add orders at the last minute, reduce fulfillment time/costs, and extend order cut off time.

Micro-Fulfillment – Dematic Micro-Fulfillment is a rapid order fulfillment system designed to support home delivery, as well as click & collect. The solution optimizes and localizes the e-fulfillment process by minimizing the time, space, cost and amount of workers required to fill orders while accommodating the projected growth of e-commerce business.

Standardized Solutions – Each Dematic integrated system is built around sub-systems which are pre-engineered/pre-tested to support defined functionality and consistent performance from application to application.

Omni-channel – Dematic continues to support your omni-channel strategy. For example, the Dematic Goods-to-Person Piece Pick Solution can process orders accurately and efficiently for multiple channels while sharing the same inventory and labor pool, thus reducing your company’s order fulfillment costs.

Robotic Picking – Dematic robotic solutions can automate labor intensive, repetitive tasks such as piece picking. “Goods-to-robot” piece picking systems are available today for a specific range of product types, dimensions, weights, and sizes.

Dematic’s commitment to our customers with an enduring spirit of innovation to continuously advance our industry – and our customers’ bottom line – is why Dematic’s mission is to power the future of commerce.
