Warehouse Execution System (WES)

For a successful project, it is essential that you choose powerful software that is natively designed to manage automated and robotic systems.

Built with the purpose automating solutions, the Warehouse Execution System (WES) is the software responsible for orchestrating order execution and processing. It is the intelligence and execution engine that releases activities, in perfect timing, to all of the automated subsystems in the building.

Capable of synchronizing and simultaneously controlling different equipment in real time, our WES assists you in achieving your targets in terms of responsiveness and performance. Multi-functional, it enables you to maximize the productivity of your resources while deciding on the next orders to be launched as a priority. By reallocating stock dynamically based on multi-criteria strategies, our WES optimizes storage and makes your inventory more accurate.

Thanks to real-time monitoring and visibility, our WES solution monitors the overall activities in the processing zones, anticipates any maintenance requirements and alerts and proposes solutions in the event of a discrepancy

System orchestration

Intelligent scheduling, workload balancing, routing optimization, sequencing of retrieval

Order management

Optimized and dynamic order release, prioritization methods, multi AS/RS management

Picking management

Person-to-goods, pick-to-light, goods-to-person and goods-to-robot processes

Storage optimization

Multi criteria storage strategies, cycle counting, reshuffling

More than just automation...

... intelligence

KWEST maximizes the use of your automated system by ensuring the reliability of intra-logistics operations, the performance of processes and optimized use of your resources. Productivity is maximized by measuring the capacity and load of the subsystems in real time and only releasing the highest priority work when there’s need in a given area of the building. The WES executes with the goal of achieving your targets and prioritizing the orders that are most critical.

KWEST: the SAVOYE WES solution

Competitive pressure and increasing customer demands are pushing logistics providers towards more automation of their processes. Our answer? KWEST.

KWEST: 360° control of your business

The supply chain is changing at an increasingly rapid pace and the emergence of new technologies goes hand in hand with enhanced performance. However, new constraints are emerging and new tools are required.

What is a Warehouse Execution System (WES)?

A Warehouse Execution System (WES) is software that orchestrates and synchronizes automated and robotic equipment in a warehouse in real time. It ensures optimal order fulﬁllment, intralogistics ﬂow management, and continuous improvement in operational performance.

What is the difference between a WMS, a WCS, and a WES?

The WMS (Warehouse Management System) manages the overall logistics of the warehouse: inventory management, order organization, resource tracking.
The WCS (Warehouse Control System) controls automated equipment and executes operational ﬂows in real time.
The WES (Warehouse Execution System) combines the functions of both, providing an additional layer of intelligence to orchestrate ﬂows, prioritize orders, and optimize resource utilization.

What are the beneﬁts of a WES such as KWEST for an automated warehouse?

KWEST improves the responsiveness and ﬂexibility of logistics operations through equipment synchronization, routing optimization, dynamic inventory management, and prioritization of critical orders. The result: increased productivity and reduced operating costs.

Is KWEST WES compatible with different types of technologies?

Yes, KWEST integrates natively with a variety of automated and robotic systems: goods-to- person, person-to-goods, pick-to-light, mobile robots, shuttles, stacker cranes, and automated storage solutions.

How does KWEST WES improve order preparation?

By intelligently orchestrating ﬂows, KWEST reduces execution times, anticipates operational constraints, and balances the workload between equipment. It decides in real time when to launch priority orders, ensuring speed and reliability.

Can a WES be deployed gradually in a warehouse?

Yes. Thanks to its modular architecture, KWEST adapts to the evolving needs of businesses and can be deployed step by step, gradually integrating new automated or robotic processes.

Does KWEST WES offer real-time monitoring?

Absolutely. KWEST offers complete visibility of operations with 360° supervision: monitoring of processing areas, equipment status, alerts in case of malfunction, performance indicators, and anticipation of maintenance needs.
