ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wynright
Corporation, a subsidiary of Daifuku North America Holding Company
and a leading provider of intelligent material handling systems,
announced today an expansion of its after-sales market support program
to meet the needs of organizations grappling to stay ahead of re-shoring
and omni-channel fulfillment trends. Its new Client Asset Modernization
initiative helps Wynright clients improve the performance and
productivity of their aging material handling systems.
Wynright offers a complete set of material handling solutions for easy
integration with a client’s business processes and applications for
competitive advantage. As part of the initiative, Wynright is working to
help clients consider alternative technologies and processes, which will
extend the useful lives of their current systems. This approach is
especially critical when budget constraints prevent clients from
replacing entire systems.
“We’re working with our clients to address aging material handling
systems in a more intelligent way,” said Clint Lasher, Executive Vice
President of Wynright. “In the past, much of the electrical and
mechanical equipment in distribution centers were stand-alone systems
from multiple vendors. We’re finding that more and more companies are
taking a proactive approach, and are looking for ways to maximize
performance and mitigate their risk factors.”
A recent survey
from market research firm IDC speaks to the dire consequences of one of
those risks – downtime. Seventy-one percent of U.S. businesses lose
anywhere from $125,000 to $17-million from just 10 hours of downtime per
year.
A key component of the Asset Modernization initiative is Wynright’s
Wynsoft™ Supply Chain Execution Solution software, which aligns business
intelligence, WMS (Warehouse Management System), WCS (Warehouse Control
System) and machine controls across a single platform.
“With most of these older facilities, we’re dealing with a variety of
system components, enterprise resources and other operational tools from
multiple vendors,” Lasher said. With our software, we’re able to upgrade
these facilities so each of the components can communicate and share
information across a common dashboard – regardless of who initially
provided each component. We are now able to capture and analyze data,
system-wide, giving our clients the power to make timely, informed
business decisions.”
