For heavy equipment dealers and industrial operators, the transition to warehouse automation is often stalled by a single question: “How much will this disrupt my existing operations?”
FDC is proud to announce an expanded integration with Kardex designed to answer that question. By bridging the gap between FDC Warehouse Management (WMS) and AutoStore™ (powered by Kardex FulfillX), FDC and Kardex are making it easier than ever for industrial operators and dealers to adopt high-density automation.
Automation That Enhances Your Existing Workflow
A common hurdle to automation is the lack of integration between the WMS and the automation tools. The integration between FDC Warehouse Management and Kardex FulfillX removes that barrier. It provides a pre-built, repeatable framework that allows industrial operators and equipment dealers to introduce automated storage while enhancing the efficiency and productivity of warehouse operations.
Built specifically for the unique demands of the industrial sector, the integrated solution supports key operational needs.
- Mixed-Priority Orders. Handling urgent service shop needs alongside stock replenishment.
- Will-Call & Counter Pickups. Seamlessly managing high-speed parts counter requests.
- Regional Distribution Models. Coordinating complex logistics across multiple warehouse locations.
Proven Success: Warren Machinery Company
The power of this integration isn't theoretical—it is already driving results. At Warren Machinery Company, an independently-owned Caterpillar dealer serving West Texas and Oklahoma, the combined FDC and Kardex solution is currently in production, allowing members of Warren team to pick the parts and deliver them quickly, especially to oilfield customers.
By integrating AutoStore, powered by Kardex FulfillX, with the warehouse management and package tracking solutions from FDC, Warren Machinery is realizing key operational results.
- Increased storage density
- Accelerated order fulfillment speeds
- Seamless coordination of multiple delivery workflows
A Scalable Path to the Future
