How it works

Where Meson WMS fits in your warehouse

Meson WMS is the control centre that directs every task, device and movement – from the truck at the inbound dock to the truck leaving your outbound gate.

Warehouse process flow showing where Meson WMS is used: receiving, quality check, storage, picking and packing, and shipping

1

Receiving

Capture data by barcode scan or manual key-in on mobile computers. Serial numbers, receiving date and stock condition are verified and logged in real time, and label printers generate case and pallet labels for traceable movement.

2

Quality check

Goods that need inspection are routed automatically to QC staging. Operators stage items with mobile computers or RF terminals, and inspection results are recorded in real time.

3

Storage

Rule-based putaway finds the optimal location for every pallet – maximising storage utilisation while keeping outbound fast. Every move is 100% traceable via mobile computers, RF terminals and RFID handhelds.

4

Picking & packing

Wave plans, rotation rules, replenishment, picking and sorting strategies are applied automatically, with tasks dispatched to the right operator at the right time.

5

Shipping

Orchestrates staging, palletizing and loading by carrier, route or order – so every shipment leaves complete, accurate and on time.

Meson WMS

Centralized intelligence for your whole warehouse. Meson WMS governs every warehouse activity and coordinates all physical flows – giving you real-time control, optimal use of people and equipment, and end-to-end visibility.
