Flexible, scalable material handling systems - specified and built 

Since the company's inception, material handling engineering and systems integration has been a core competency at FORTE. Employing our CONTINUIM Project Delivery System, we ensure total synchronization of the islands of automation - supply chain management software, material handling equipment (MHE) and labor management systems - to create a scalable, flexible system with an eye on future demands. During this process, we specify all aspects of the system, such as:Automated Conveyors

Our experienced material handling engineers and project managers handle everything, including: installation drawings, electrical controls design packages, procurement, installation and integration.

Advanced software pulls it together 

FORTE's Smart Warehouse Suite™ of supply chain software is the integral piece of the automated material handling system. Integration Director™ is our Warehouse Control System (WCS) software. It operates as a service bus, connecting disparate warehouse software and automation systems so they perform as a single unit. Our WCS software uses easily configured adapters to allow new islands of automation to be quickly and simply integrated to meet new requirements.

Automation Director® is our conveyor control software. It is a proven, flexible solution for the most complex conveyor systems, sortation and dynamic routing requirements. The system easily adapts to various modes of operation, including early-out, expedite, non-standard/seasonal operations and many other requirements.
