W&H Implements Wearable Warehouse Control Solution

W&H Systems, a provider of material handling solutions, has integrated its Shiraz Warehouse Control System with the Pebble Smartwatch. Using the wearable technology, Shiraz allows warehouse managers to gather performance indicators and better manage their distribution and fulfillment operations from their wrists. 

Shiraz is designed to ensure customer orders and service levels can be met, to monitor inventory levels, and to supervise operational performance. The solution analyzes warehouse operations and provides critical event reporting through email and text alerts on the Smartwatch.

Shiraz is equipped with apparel, wine and spirits and retail-specific applications. The Smartwatch can display real-time KPI information and operations reports such as:

  • Number of cases shipped;
  • Quantity of mixed case units shipped;
  • Time cases/units were shipped;
  • Total number of mixed cases and full cases shipped; and,
  • Estimated time of completion.

“Wearable technology is exploding in the retail industry and consumer-focused markets, but other businesses like wine & spirits distributors are starting to see the benefits, such as improved productivity across business processes and faster, more informed decision-making,” said Chris Castaldi, Director of Business Development at W&H Systems. “A warehouse manager can be in a meeting and see activity on his Smartwatch that requires him/her to make a decision immediately. Instead of having to guess the outcome, or leave the meeting to go out into the warehouse, the manager has the information he/she needs right there on their wrist to make the best decision.”
