Is an analytics layer needed over WES?

摘要

Warehouse execution system (WES) vendors have been augmenting their features for dashboarding and operational insights, but can one system really analyze and apply intelligence to all the factors that influence the effectiveness of a modern fulfillment center? One relatively new vendor-Cognit-Ops-is betting that companies with warehouse fulfillment operations will see the value in an artificial intelligence (Al) powered decision support layer. The CognitOps solution connects with WES data, as well data from other systems, to create what the vendor says can be thought of as a "warehouse operating system" that leverages predictive capabilities and Al to arrive at tangible action items for managers, according to Roger Counihan, chief revenue officer for CognitOps.
