Honeywell has introduced a warehouse management system to address expanding demands on order fulfilment and distribution. The MesonX Warehouse Management System (WMS) is designed to improve and streamline warehouse and distribution centre (DC) operations. Honeywell says its new system can be installed nearly 10 times faster than conventional systems.

The new system is designed to provide easy-to-use tools and pre-configured functions. It promises up to 80% lower implementation costs, and can be fully operational in two weeks with only 250 hours of onboarding services.

“The rapid expansion of warehouses and the rising complexities of omnichannel fulfilment have brought about fresh challenges in managing inventory within DC operations. These challenges can manifest as inventory inaccuracies, which, in turn, lead to workflow bottlenecks, disruptions in labour productivity, and diminished customer service quality, all of which can substantially reduce profit margins,” said Jonathan Kwok, General Manager of Honeywell Logistics Solutions. “MesonX WMS goes beyond the basics of a typical WMS. It offers standard features like inbound/outbound processing, inventory, and resource management. But what sets it apart is its ability to deliver strong performance including seamless integration, quick installation, deep configurability for warehouse operations and easy adaptability to future business changes.”

Logistics companies often face high costs coupled with a long lead time in designing, developing, configuring, and testing a WMS for their operations. These challenges can hamper companies with tight budgets and an even tighter project time frame. Some end up investing too much in systems that offer more features than they need, while others create their own ‘homegrown’ WMS, only to quickly outgrow it and drain internal resources. MesonX WMS is designed to address these issues by tailoring itself to specific workflows, eliminating the need for costly custom coding.

The new system is designed to be highly configurable, allowing rapid upscaling. It also integrates with numerous devices, including mobile computers, voice automation technology, printers, barcode scanners, robotics, and more.

Honeywell Logistics Solutions and certified partners operate in 24 countries, managing over 2,600 warehouses, including one that handles up to 1.6 million orders per day.
