Exacta WES vs Mecalux Easy WES

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.

Mecalux Easy WES is a warehouse execution system integrated into Easy WMS, designed to coordinate tasks and resources in automated warehouses and complex intralogistics environments. It synchronizes material handling equipment, robotics, and employee workflows, while prioritizing tasks and adjusting workflows as demand and operational priorities change. Picking orchestration coordinates automated, semi-automated, and manual work using current activity, demand, and inventory availability. Analytics, reporting, interactive dashboards, and configurable alerts provide operational visibility. The system can integrate new automation and robotics to support gradual expansion. Listed capabilities include real-time visibility, a mobile app, barcode scanning, cycle counting, batch picking, shipping labels, and multiple warehouses. Mecalux describes its SaaS software as cloud deployed and accessible from internet-connected devices; Easy WMS also has an on-premise option for clients requiring their own infrastructure. Easy WES is paid, but its page does not list a price or trial duration. Mecalux is based in Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain, and was founded in 1966.
