Easy WMS
The warehouse management system Easy
WMS is a powerful program developed by
Mecalux which is able to manage any type of
warehouse, regardless of its complexity.
While Mecalux’s Easy WMS acts as the
nerve center and works using pre-estab-
lished rules, in the case of Zakłady Mięsne
Henryk Kania, because the warehouse
is automated, it is connected to the relat-
ed Galileo control program. This program
manages all the logic of the movements
of the installation’s various mechanical
components.
The Mecalux Easy WMS has a permanent
two-way connection with the customer’s
SAP ERP to exchange the necessary information and commands to ensure proper function and excellent control of the different
operations.
