Numina Group and RateLinx Bring Unified WES-TMS to MODEX 2026

Woodridge, IL — April 2, 2026 —In an era of escalating consumer expectations, mid-market distributors must evolve or risk becoming obsolete. At MODEX 2026, Numina Group (Booth B14545) will demonstrate how companies can pivot from traditional “storage and discrete picking” to “continuous optimized order flow” that drastically reduces the cost-per-order fulfilled.

For mid-size DCs handling 2,000 to 5,000+ lines per day, continuing to rely on ERP processes alone is not a sustainable practice. By integrating Numina Group’s Real-time Distribution Software (RDS™) WES with RateLinx TMS, businesses can achieve:

• 30%–50% reduction in picking and packing labor costs
• 20%–25% lower shipping and transportation costs
• Rapid ROI: full end-to-end automation initiatives typically pay for themselves within 16–24 months

“When a warehouse is empowered with lean processes and the right blend of automation, better execution decisions happen automatically,” said Dan Hanrahan, CEO of Numina Group. “The synergy between RDS WES and RateLinx TMS ensures that every order is released, picked, and shipped via the lowest-cost, most efficient carrier for both parcel and LTL transport paths.”

The Numina Advantage: Design First, Hardware Second

Unlike equipment vendors who lead with hardware sales, Numina Group follows a design-first approach. This ensures the solution fits the operation’s data profile—not the other way around:

• Data Analysis: Identifies process improvements and prevents bottlenecks in the operational roadmap.
• Simulation & Pressure Testing: Uses digital twins to compare technologies like AMRs and GTP systems before capital is committed.
• Modular Implementation: Deploys RDS™ WES as the “middleware glue” that unites existing ERP/WMS systems with chosen automation.

High-Impact, Low-CAPEX RDS Automation Highlights:

• Precision Cartonization: Algorithms select the right-sized container during picking, eliminating “shipping air” and reducing DIM weight charges.
• AI-Powered Voice Picking: Hands-free, AI-driven voice that requires minimal training and achieves up to 99.98% accuracy.
• AMR + Voice (“Meet Me” Mode): Autonomous mobile robots manage travel while voice-directed operators focus on picking. This combination achieves 250–350 units per hour, rivaling goods-to-person systems at a fraction of the cost.
• Upfront Rate Shopping: The RDS–RateLinx integration performs “Best Way” shipping during order release optimization, ensuring carrier pickup alignment and lowest-cost transport across parcel, LTL, and regional carriers.
