Prime Execution System
Prime Execution System (PES) is a warehouse execution system that directs orders, pallets, robots, and other devices in real time.
What Prime Execution System is
Prime Execution System (PES) is a warehouse execution system that directs orders, pallets, robots, and other devices in real time. It assigns tasks across stations and coordinates execution through to the fulfillment outcome. Its four integrated layers are the Prime Management Console, Robot Control System, Floor Manager, and Workstation Platform. PES integrates natively with WMS, ERP, OMS, MES, and PLC systems without middleware, while its device connections cover Prime and third-party equipment through APIs or direct PLC control. A no-code Workflow Manager supports object-based workflow composition, schedules, and throttling across workflows. PES can direct forklifts and AMRs to replenish stations before pick faces run dry, and sequence pallets for dispatch by dock door and departure time. Floor Manager provides live robot, station, and battery status, alerts, controls, and daily reports. The workstation layer supports 18 station types with manned or unmanned configurations. Pricing is on request; a free trial is available.
Good
- Integrates with WMS, ERP, OMS, MES, and PLC systems natively.
- No-code workflow composition, scheduling, and throttling.
- Supports 18 workstation types and manned or unmanned setups.
- Provides live robot, station, and battery status.

Who it suits
PES is positioned for warehouse, factory, logistics, 3PL, distribution, retail, e-commerce, and cold-chain operations. It may suit operations seeking real-time coordination across stations, robots, and other devices while retaining a WMS or ERP as the system of record.
Verdict
PES combines order execution, replenishment, outbound sequencing, and floor management in one system. Buyers should request pricing and assess its fit for their operation and device mix.
