CINCINNATI, OH (May 15, 2024) — – Matthews Automation Solutions, a leading provider of innovative material handling systems and software with over 30 years of proven process optimization expertise, today announced that it has been identified as a Sample Vendor in Gartner’s Technology Trends Transforming Warehousing article.

This article from Gartner focuses on numerous technologies poised to transform warehousing and distribution operations. By leveraging new technologies and software to manage and mitigate volatility and complexity, supply chain technology leaders can gain competitive advantage.
According to Gartner, “WESs are a hybrid technology that blend capabilities from traditional WMSs and warehouse control systems (WCSs). WESs enhance work management in automated warehouses and manage the interplay between manual and automated processes. WESs leverage near-real-time insight into work in the automated warehouse, combined with advanced business process logic to improve the flow and prioritization of work, such as picking and replenishment.”
In the article, Gartner recommends that Supply chain technology leaders “Explore WES capabilities if your distribution centers are highly automated.”
“Matthews Automation strives to be an equipment agnostic WES provider.” Says Daniel Woellert, NEXUS’ Product Manager. “It is important that we be the eyes of the entire warehouse for a customer, no matter what equipment they chose to run their operations.”
