Softeon Features Warehouse Management + Warehouse Execution Systems for Smart DCs at ProMatDX

Powerful Tools Leverage Simulation, Intelligent Orchestration and Optimization to Significantly Improve Order Fulfillment

RESTON, Va.--Softeon, a global supply chain software provider with the industry's best track record of customer success, will feature a number of enhancements to its market leading Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Warehouse Execution System (WES), enabling companies to build the smart distribution center of the future today.

Softeon WMS powers distribution and fulfillment with a robust and highly configurable set of capabilities that manage processes, associates, inventory and equipment to minimize costs and maximize customer service. Softeon WMS is the platform of choice for both large and medium size companies, always with an out-of-the-box or near out-of-the-box solution fit.


The WES provides visibility, orchestration and optimization of order picking and related processes, leveraging new capabilities beyond what is available today even in the most advanced WMS.

As a result, Softeon’s WES enables companies to minimize total fulfillment costs while meeting customer demands and service commitments. Softeon’s WMS and WES solutions are available stand-alone, or for the first time in the industry, deployed together as a powerful Warehouse Management + Execution System.

In stand-alone mode, the WES can work with almost any existing WMS, from ERP to legacy to best-of-breed providers, with flexible integration and process models. Uniquely, the Softeon WES delivers significant value not only for automated DCs but also in operations with medium levels of automation or even completely manual processes.

This approach can bring new life to aging WMS environments by adding WES without the need for a full WMS replacement.

As a result of Softeon’s advanced services-based architecture, the WMS and WES utilize a shared component library, meaning capabilities from each system are available to each other in standalone deployments to tailor a precise solution for each company.

Softeon will be available in the ProMatDX virtual hall to discuss these powerful solutions and attendees’ logistics challenges and opportunities.

Softeon will also be hosting several educational sessions to provide more insight into these exciting technologies:

Seminar: Warehouse Management Systems – That was then, this is NOW – Tuesday, April 13th @ 1:30pm CST

Demo: Softeon Warehouse Management System (WMS) – Monday, April 12th @ 1:15pm CST

Demo: Softeon Supply Chain Execution Platform - Thursday, April 15th @ 2:30pm CST

Once registered, attendees will have full access to these and other helpful resources. For more information on this premier supply chain event, visit Promatshow.com.

Registration is available here at no cost.

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.
