The Dexion RDS is a multi-function system that controls the physical and operational aspects of a company‟s distribution centre from receipt of goods, to processing, storage, order fulfilment and despatch in real time. It bridges the gap between enterprise systems and materials handling equipment and is engineered to complement the customer‟s existing systems.

RDS provides a single interface to the customer‟s existing ERP or WMS, aggregating multiple features for the varying functions within the warehouse. RDS is modular in design so it delivers maximum flexibility when building a solution. Dexion is able to configure RDS to fit the task, regardless of how simple or complex the application requires.

For FMCG distribution centres, the most difficult challenge is completing orders that cover high volume, fast moving and fluctuating quantities of goods, many of which are subject to regular promotions and strict use-by-dates. This, coupled with an economic climate that demands greater efficiencies at lower cost, means that more than ever before these networks require sophisticated storage and retrieval systems.

An automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) can satisfy these rigorous requirements by reducing order fulfilment times and improving order accuracy and efficiency, as well as minimising labour, optimising space, reducing loss and lowering operating costs. In turn, delivery capability improves, as does customer service. Most importantly, ASRSs can offer a return on investment that is often achieved in under two years.
