Westfalia named to 2018 FL100+
Westfalia Technologies, Inc., a provider of logistics solutions for plants, warehouses and distribution centers since 1992, has been named to Food Logistics’ 2018 FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers list. In Westfalia’s fifth consecutive year on the list, the publication acknowledges the company for helping food and beverage manufacturers and distributors optimize processes, maximize efficiencies and drive cost savings with warehouse automation technology.
Dan Labell, president of Westfalia Technologies, said, “The ability to fulfill orders as quickly and accurately as possible is a huge competitive advantage. By implementing automation solutions to improve warehouse processes, food and beverage manufacturers and distributors can remedy a lot of the inefficiencies caused by transportation bottlenecks, limited warehouse space and late orders due to poor communications in the supply chain.”
Westfalia’s high-density automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) can store and retrieve layers and cases (with and without a pallet) from inventory, with maximum speed, efficiency and responsiveness. Combined with Westfalia’s Savanna.NET® Warehouse Execution System (WES), the AS/RS provides organizations full control over material flow. This enables warehouses to implement just-in-time strategies and accommodate last-minute order changes and transportation delays, while keeping the warehouse moving smoothly.
The annual FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers serves as a resource guide of software and technology providers whose products and services are critical for companies in the global food and beverage supply chain.
“The digital supply chain continues its rapid emergence, bringing with it expanded capabilities that impact visibility, security, compliance and efficiency,” remarks Lara L. Sowinski, editorial director for Food Logistics and its sister publication, Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “Every aspect of the global food supply chain stands to benefit from new and innovative software and technology that is fundamentally changing the global food supply chain.”
Companies on this year’s 2018 FL100+ Top Software and Technology Providers list will be profiled in the November/December 2018 issue of Food Logistics, as well as online at http://www.foodlogistics.com/.
