ferag.doWarehouse is an innovative software from Ferag AG, which is aiming to redefine the standards for warehouse management – offering an uncomplicated and customised solution for companies of any size and complexity.
Developed to meet the challenges of today’s warehouse environments, ferag.doWarehouse offers a customer oriented combination of flexibility, efficiency and performance. The solution is a WMS/WES with hardware abstraction and optimisation for highly flexible and simple integration into the SOC/PLC level. It standardises the interfaces to optimise the incoming and outgoing processes in a warehouse and enables the management of information from PLCs – including robots, WMS (Warehouse Management Systems), WCS (Warehouse Control Systems) and WES (Warehouse Execution Systems) – in a single solution. In simple terms, ferag.doWarehouse manages the warehouse and optimally aligns warehouse management with existing and future warehouse automation.
The software takes on three levels of functionality to suit different requirements and levels of automation – simple manual warehouses, complex automated warehouses and critical warehouse subsystems.
The focus for simple manual warehouses is easy entry into digitalised warehouse management – with a seamless transition from Microsoft Excel-based operations to a lightweight WMS. With an outstanding price performance ratio, easy implementation, and autonomously adaptable workflows, ferag.doWarehouse also offers excellent support for the first steps towards warehouse digitisation. The lean software suits Excel-based operations that want to take the next step towards efficiency and quality and paves the way for future growth. ferag.doWarehouse offers scalability in any direction and can gradually evolve into a more comprehensive automation system at any time.
Its next level of functionality is aimed at warehouse operators who require the management of one or more important manual or automated processes. The focus is on the unification of the WES/WCS level and the possible integration of all existing subsystems. ferag.doWarehouse offers a ‘single source of truth’ and an easily configurable host interface for customisation. The modular architecture allows customisation
to different systems, regardless of hardware, for maximum flexibility and efficiency.
Finally, the system also focuses on the optimisation of critical warehouse areas such as sorting, buffer, and picking areas, and provides an overview of all processes. With ferag.doWarehouse, any hardware can be connected and managed from a central dashboard. Due to its high modularity and independence from specific hardware, the solution enables the targeted and individual optimisation of all subsystems and provides analytics and KPIs to ensure maximum transparency and efficiency.
