Material Handling Equipment can drastically improve efficiencies and increase storage density in numerous supply chain applications. There are top manufacturers producing outstanding units capable of 24/7 operation, quickly delivering parts to operators, conveyors and sorting equipment in a fluid material flow.
But what happens when your top of the line MHE doesn’t interface to your inventory control systems? Why spend capital for equipment that operates like a glorified dry cleaning carousel when paired with the wrong software? Or spend resources to develop an in-house software solution? Or no software, manually entering in location data for each and every transaction from a piece of paper?
