Made4net, a global provider of cloud-based Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) & end-to-end supply chain execution software, announced today that United Warehouse Automation LLC, a pioneering firm specializing in warehousing and logistics automation, has selected Made4net's WarehouseExpert™ to replace their homegrown WMS as the core engine to drive fulfillment and automation orchestration. The collaboration comes as United Warehouse Automation announces plans to establish four highly automated third-party logistics (3PL) cold storage facilities in Chile and Florida. The first facility, scheduled to open in November 2023, will be a state-of-the-art, highly automated cold storage warehouse featuring Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) technology.
The collaboration empowers United Warehouse Automation to harness the power of Made4net's renowned SCExpert™ platform, which offers a robust WMS solution with integrated yard management, dynamic route management, proof of delivery and a Warehouse Control System (WCS). The solution delivers unmatched flexibility and configurability, providing real-time information on stock and operations while streamlining logistics processes and optimizing equipment sequencing.
Made4Net Warehouse Control System and WMS solution will play a pivotal role in efficiently coordinating and sequencing the cutting-edge equipment within United Warehouse Automation's facilities. The new cold storage facilities will offer unique and cost-effective case-level fulfillment services for retailers and food distributors, supported by innovative technologies. These solutions will effectively manage all automation to ensure seamless operations and provide precise picking instructions for fulfillment at the workstations.
According to Esteban Mazuela, Managing Director of United Warehouse Automation, "Our quest for a WMS partner focused on seamless integration with robotic and automated solutions led us to an in-depth evaluation of multiple suppliers. Made4net emerged as the ideal choice for us, primarily due to their extensive experience in automation integration, unmatched WMS expertise, and global presence with support in multiple languages and countries."
United Warehouse Automation's visionary approach relies on high levels of automation, demanding WMS solutions that can make real-time decisions based on automation status. Amit Levy, EVP Sales and Strategy at Made4net, explained, "With the surge in automation, the need for intelligent order releasing that considers real-time utilization and material flow of automated systems becomes paramount. Our solution and technology perfectly align with United Warehouse Automation's aspirations, empowering them to thrive in the dynamic world of logistics automation."
