Numina Group has just celebrated its 33rd birthday as a warehouse integration specialist. We’ve come a long way from our beginnings. Dan Hanrahan and Mark Woodworth are the founders and were the first two employees. Mark’s original office was located in a converted garage; yes, it did have heat and a marginally functioning air conditioner to manage the Chicago area dog days of summer!
We are proud to have grown from our inception to a team of over 40. Our design and software engineers provide define and design services to optimize order fulfillment processes. We deliver solutions based on the right warehouse automation technologies and software that will improve operations, lower labor requirements, and provide an outstanding return on investment.
If you are looking for a warehouse automation integration specialist, you are probably asking how potential customers differentiate the strengths of all of the options. What is the criteria used to choose a partner? There are many factors to consider based on the application requirements and complexity. Automating a new Omni-channel DC versus upgrading an existing paper based or RF picking operation to a voice picking operation, are very different in design and vary greatly in complexity.
Numina Group is one of the few distribution automation vendors with the in-house expertise and technologies to handle either of these tasks due to the modular nature of our software platform. We use a proven process improvement approach to analyze order data and select processes that will streamline pick, pack, and ship functionality while providing ROI in typically under 10 months
