Ocado Warehouse Execution Software Review Summary
Ocado calls the WES the beating heart of its grid system. It runs in the cloud while talking to on-site hardware at low latency, and can even commission the grid. Multi-SKU bins raise density, putaway and path planning reduce robot travel and bin digs, and one system manages several picking methods and delivery assets. It monitors warehouse health, replans paths and workflows when something goes wrong and escalates to remote grid managers. Ocado claims 99.9% uptime and integration with third-party WMS and automation.
