Yasel Costa, a Professor at the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, reflects on digital transformation in businesses. A new, human-centric industrial revolution will constitute a great opportunity for improvement for everyone.
According to Luca Urciuoli, adjunct professor of Supply Chain Management at the MIT-Zaragoza Program, companies with supply chain risk management strategies can gain a competitive advantage in the market. Outsourcing and globalisation can increase the vulnerability of supply chains to unexpected risks or disruptions.
Mecalux utilises a data analysis platform with machine learning algorithms to find the best solution for warehouses. Machine learning algorithms can predict behaviours, trends and machine performance.
Improving worker productictivity in a warehouse is no easy task, as multiple variables can influence performance. The solution for increasing operator productivity and improving logistics efficiency lies in implementing warehouse management software.
Mecalux sat down with Joakim Kembro, Associate Professor at Lund University, Sweden, to talk about how the latest trends in warehousing are transforming the world of logistics.
Mecalux talked with Martynas Tamosiunas, Group Supply Chain Manager at Intersurgical, about how the company adapted all its logistics processes and benefited from automation to handle the unprecedented demand during the pandemic.
Milos Milenkovic, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program, reflects on the Physical Internet in logistics. The Physical Internet could mean significant reductions in transport times and costs.
Customers use multiple channels during their shopping journey and expect to have a seamless purchasing experience. This smooth transition between traditional and online channels, popularly known as the omnichannel experience, is transforming the world of logistics and warehousing.
Although online sales continue to grow by leaps and bounds, customers are still frequenting physical shops to purchase some of the products they need, an extension of the Easy WMS warehouse management system enables businesses to monitor the status of the stock in their warehouses and bricks-and-mortar shops in real time. This system also syncs procurement, picking, replenishment and returns operations.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the present and future of technology, opens up a huge number of scenarios to discover and delve into. It also provides the possibility to explore new business opportunities to achieve greater growth, profitability and sustainability.
Mecalux sat down with professor Yossi Sheffi, Director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, to talk about how Covid-19 is reshaping businesses and supply chains – and what’s coming next.
The Marketplaces & Ecommerce Platforms Integration module is an extension of the Easy WMS warehouse management system from Mecalux tasked with integrating a company’s facility with the main marketplaces and e-commerce platforms in the market (Amazon, eBay and PrestaShop, among others). This software connects Easy WMS to the main digital sales platforms and marketplaces to sync the firm's online catalogue with the stock in its physical warehouse.
Order dispatch and delivery are two vital operations for e-commerce logistics, as they directly impact customer satisfaction. How is it possible to provide more efficient service without errors? The answer is Multi Carrier Shipping Software from Mecalux, a software application that includes the necessary functionalities for packaging, labelling and shipping orders.
The software for Ecommerce is a software application designed to manage all aspects involved in preparing orders for online shops. This new program stands out for its user-friendliness and ability to boost order prep. WMS for Ecommerce can reduce picking times by 50% and increase productivity by 80%.
In this article, we will respond to the most common questions about this system — increasingly used in all types of warehouses and presently implemented in 500 installations around the globe — with the aim of showing their full potential and their contribution to more efficient logistics.
A warehouse management system (WMS) is responsible for optimising all operations that take place in an installation. The supply chain is subject to constant transformation, the purpose of which is to cope with market changes. In this vein, the functionalities of a WMS must also be enhanced with a view to tackling increasingly complex processes and scenarios.
Compact storage systems feature a higher storage density by optimising available warehouse space. Of all these, the Pallet Shuttle system is the one that best enhances an installation’s productivity because an electric shuttle moves goods through the channel automatically.
Two results of measuring warehouse KPIs are controlling and optimising production process efficiency. How else can key performance indicators make a difference?
Peak season logistics operations are characterised by high market demands and the enormous volume of orders handled: How do you prepare your warehouse so everything runs smoothly?
Adopting omnichannel logistics is now a must for all warehouses that are responding to (i.e. fulfilling) e-commerce needs. How can your warehouse turn over a new leaf in the digital world? Read more…
