A fully functional base version of the Continuous Order Fulfillment Enterprise warehouse control system by Vargo has been released as a starter kit package for facilities handling as few as 2,000 orders per day (44,000 units per week).
The system processes orders within a distribution center using a demand-driven, waveless approach. Modular and customizable, the program directs materials handling machines, as well as devices, people and processes. It integrates and synchronizes direct-to-consumer warehouse workers with the operation of the equipment to pull orders through distribution centers.
The kit includes dashboards and visualization, eight users by functional area (pick, assemble, pack and ship), and streamlined implementation. To accommodate growth, the starter kit can be enhanced with extra modules to integrate pick/put-to-lights, sortation systems, AS/RS, conveyors, additional RF users, and more licenses.
COFE® was the first and remains the most advanced Warehouse Execution System! COFE® organizes and optimizes order fulfillment by sequencing and synchronizing work flows. This solution ensures the most efficient use of all work resources — space, equipment and personnel.
If you’re working off a plan including waving orders and buffering work, you will always have unavoidable warehouse inefficiencies that can only be solved by creating a waveless process.
