Supply chain automation solutions provider Dematic has introduced its Connected Workforce Platform (CWP) for the supply chain market.
CWP is a flexible software layer that integrates with existing warehouse systems and devices, designed to give businesses a clearer view of their operations.
CWP consolidates data from any warehouse management system (WMS) and connects it to mobile, voice, vision and AMR-enabled workflows, providing one platform for all device-driven activities within the warehouse.
Dematic’s platform allows customers to visualise and manage key metrics, such as pick rates per hour, operator accuracy, congestion zones and order statuses in real-time dashboards.
The company also claimed CWP enables advanced picking logic, such as cluster and bulk picking, allowing for smart consolidation based on worker location or warehouse zone.
It’s compatible with a wide range of hardware including handhelds, vehicle-mount devices, vision glasses and voice headsets, with infrastructure support provided by Dematic’s wireless engineering team.
Dematic's director of Connected Workforce Solutions for ANZ, Lee Koutsos, said CWP is an extension of the company's Connected Workforce Solution (CWS).
“The platform is designed to build on and enhance CWS, giving businesses the visibility, control and adaptability they need as their operations grow more complex," he said.
“Rather than adding more layers of technology, the new platform is all about making what you already have work better. Most WMS platforms operate at a high level but lack the flexibility or speed to support day-to-day improvements.
"CWP bridges that gap by giving teams real-time insight and control without the need for costly customisation.”
In 2022, Leader brought in robotics technology from Dematic to automate its Sydney warehouse.
