Honeywell's new WES to support e-commerce growth

At the Honeywell Intelligrated press conference Tuesday, the main focus was on the company's newest software platform, the Momentum warehouse execution system (WES), which is designed to streamline and simplify complex e-commerce fulfillment operations.

The Momentum warehouse execution system brings together automated equipment, workflows, orders, and labor in a unified platform to provide distribution center operators with real-time visibility and help make operations more efficient.

During a demonstration of the system, Sean Wallingford, the company's vice president of product management, showed off Momentum's capabilities, highlighting the intelligent order release, automated chute closing, and just-in-time put-wall allocation functions.

Momentum is an enterprise software platform that provides distribution centers with a single centralized system to manage operations like automated order picking, product routing, inventory, and labor. The software is scalable and configurable, allowing customers to select from an ever-expanding list of robust modules.

Honeywell Intelligrated is part of Honeywell's Safety and Productivity Solutions business group, which provides a range of hardware and software solutions for distribution centers, transportation and logistics providers, retailers, direct-store delivery firms, and parcel service companies.
