Numina’s warehouse automation solution helped Merit Medical increase throughput, reduce labor, and meet critical same-day priority shipments.
Merit Medical, a major medical and surgical supply manufacturer headquartered near Salt Lake City, Utah moved into a new distribution center in Virginia, doubling the size of their previous East Coast location.
Continuous growth was limiting Merit’s ability to get orders out on time. They were forced to add overtime hours and temporary employees but still could not meet demand.
The Numina Group helped Merit Medical replace its single-order pick-to-paper process with an advanced, automated order fulfillment solution.
The solution included integrating Numina Group’s RDS™ Warehouse Execution and Control System to manage and enforce better pick, pack, and ship processes. The new solution was implemented with minimal downtime or interference to Merit’s normal operations.
The results were better processes and technologies that optimized the entire order fulfillment operation by reducing labor, increasing throughput, and successfully managing the critical same day priority shipments.
