Order creation interface allows easy data exchange between WMS and Cortex software using a database-to-database interface. It integrates with virtually every commercially popular WMS brand, in addition to homegrown systems.
Optimized Workflows
Cortex supports all types of picking workflows, from the most simple tables with a hand-scanner to fully automated workstations that move a wide variety of boxes and containers. Pick-to-frame provides a multi-level grid of pick-to-lights highlighting the active order on mobile carts placed behind the frame.
Dynamic Picking and Replenishment
Cortex software allows for the management of inventory and drives the selection of the appropriate inventory location. Proprietary algorithms maximize space utilization within the racking structure, ensure operator effectiveness, and drive unique business logic. Business rules, including lot control, expiration dates, unique item classification rules, and more, are used to meet your business needs.
