Exacta WES is warehouse execution software in Toyota Automated Logistics’ intralogistics portfolio. It connects a warehouse management system or another host to material-handling control subsystems, coordinating automation with warehouse work in real time. Exacta Connect relays information among WMS, ERP, or homegrown hosts and warehouse control systems using methods such as TCP/IP sockets, web services, table-to-table communication, MSMQ, ERP-specific exchanges, and text files. The software can interface with goods-to-person equipment, AS/RS, conveyors, sortation, inline scales, carousels, and pick-to-light systems, and orchestrates pick, pack, and ship operations. Its broader warehouse functions include inventory visibility, order planning, task assignment as conditions change, labor workflows, and operational dashboards. The suite is modular, and the vendor describes it as hardware-agnostic. A standardized package includes reporting through a web application; an optional touchscreen desktop application supports picking, putaway, and cycle-count orders at AutoStore ports. It is available for web and Windows. Pricing is on request. Standardized functionality cannot be customized; the vendor says it can develop a tailored solution when project scope falls outside that definition.
