Mecalux Easy WES vs Ocado Smart Platform

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.
