Powered by an intelligent warehouse execution system

FORTNA WES™ intelligent software optimises the design and allows you to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities for compounded gains in efficiency and insights. This unique software platform makes it possible to integrate solutions from virtually any type of equipment and swap out technologies without having to make expensive and time-consuming updates to your existing systems.

Unique approach to identify best-fit technologies

The FORTNA Distribution Optimisation Framework™ leans into your data and our proprietary processes, tools and algorithms to design and deliver solutions using best-fit automation technologies. We work with a deep bench of partners, but our unique approach allows for a truly innovative and holistic design that leverages best-in-class robotics, without bias toward any manufacturer or supplier. We can help you select appropriate technologies and work collaboratively with the chosen supplier to optimise your solution for exemplary business results.

Proof of concept and business case justification

Complex projects sometimes require a proof of concept (POC) to validate functionality and justify the business case before investing significant capital expense for the broader solution. At FORTNA, business case is at the heart of everything we do. We will help you develop the business case, align stakeholders and obtain the Board-level support you need for your investments.
