Würth Elektronik relies on PSIwms at US location Watertown

Internationally consistent process control with system-guided warehouse strategy

PSI Software SE has been commissioned by the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group to implement the Warehouse Management System PSIwms at its US location in Watertown. The goal is to make warehouse processes significantly more efficient and future-proof through a standardized, system-guided warehouse strategy.

With this second international implementation project, Würth Elektronik is further expanding its collaboration with PSI and establishing an international WMS system standard.

The Warehouse Management System PSIwms consolidates Würth Elektronik's requirements into a central standard for the locations in Waldenburg, Lyon, and Watertown. The software solution based on the PSIwms Flex edition is integrated seamlessly into the existing IT ecosystem as an on-premise installation. Specific, internationally consistent functionalities include, for example, 2D barcode handling, ESD processes, and re-reeling functions tailored specifically to the electronics industry.

Until now, many processes at the Watertown location depended on workarounds and individual experiential knowledge. With PSIwms, a fully system-guided warehouse strategy is being established, encompassing clearly defined roles, guided processes, and traceable postings.

The shelving and pallet warehouse as well as the floor and goods receipt areas will in future be managed efficiently via PSIwms. In total, approximately 20,000 storage locations for nearly 7,000 active items are mapped in the system. On average, more than 300 order lines are processed per day, with peaks exceeding 1,300.

The PSI Group develops software products for optimizing energy and material flow for utilities and industry. As an independent software vendor with more than 2,300 employees, PSI has been a technology leader since 1969 for process control systems that ensure sustainable energy supply, mobility, and production by combining AI methods with industrially proven optimization techniques. The innovative industry products can be operated by the customer on-premises or in the cloud.
