DiamondWare Warehouse Execution System
"Middleware that drives productivity"
2
There are many aspects to the management of
today's warehouse. The job of the warehouse
manager has become increasingly complex, as the
need for productivity gains drive innovation.
3
Have you ever wondered.
4
How can we improve our truck loading patterns?
5
How can we continuously download orders to
improve selector productivity and eliminate
between-wave dwell?
6
How can I integrate slotting and
cubing?
7
How can we hold our orders until we have
available capacity?
8
How can I lessen the burden on my IT staff with
fewer system interfaces?
9
How can I use mobile computing to gain visibility
into my mission critical execution systems?
10
Can I improve my bottom line with software that
synchronizes order fulfillment with automated
material handling capacity?
11
If you answered yes to any of these questions,
this new class of warehouse and DC software may
benefit your operation.
Lets see how
12
Would you benefit from

• Spending up to 50 LESS on your material
  handling system

• Seeing a TEN fold improvement in order accuracy

• Increasing fulfillment productivity

• Automating slotting analysis and re-slotting

• Lengthening order cut-off times

• Increasing utilization of your equipment
  investment

• Mobile computer management

13
So what exactly is WES?

• WES drives fulfillment productivity by
  integrating material flow with order fulfillment
  software

• WES replaces many traditional WMS functions to
  improve utilization and optimization of equipment
  and labor

• WES integrates material flow with dynamic
  slotting analysis and execution

• WES has built in RFID capability to track and
  identify product shipments

• WES has pre-developed approaches to order
  fulfillment

14
Lets take a look at traditional material
handling techniques and how the DiamondWare
Warehouse Execution System takes a new approach.
15

Then came the desire to manage the warehouse more
effectively. Thus the introduction of Warehouse
Management Systems.
Warehouse Management System
The market then realized that a layer of software
was required between the two levels that would
control individual technologies.
Warehouse Control System
Traditional thought regarding the approach to
Automated Material Handling started with control
of equipment.
Equipment Control
This approach worked for the very largest of
enterprises, but left many without the ability to
justify automation.
A NEW Approach was needed to maximize the returns
on automation investment
16
Work Planning
The Work Planning module insures that inventory
and labor are available to fulfill orders. This
is accomplished through management of material
replenishment, slotting, waveless release of work
and manpower planning
17
Order Processing
Work Planning
With a single WMS interface, the WES controls all
automated and mechanized equipment within the
facility and with a single download, Items for
orders are picked, routed and consolidated.
Confirmation Is sent to the host/WMS when
transactions are complete.

Order Processing
Material Flow
Work Planning
The combination of order selection software and
material flow control provides unique
advantages. Extensive zone routing tools coupled
with sortation control and buffer management
ensures total optimization of material handling
equipment.

Work Planning
Integral to the WES is the Shipping module.
Barcode and RFID are fully taken advantage of
here. Quality control and order accuracy is
maintained, container contents are tracked and
reported, and value added services are directed.

Management Support Suite
Integral to any material handling system are the
management support tools. Graphical user
interfaces, productivity reporting, and
maintenance monitoring are critical in
maintaining automated systems.
