What SOLEA is
SOLEA is Balea’s Warehouse Execution System for controlling and automating warehouse logistics in real time. Its Hypertour algorithm plans picking paths and can combine multiple orders into one run. A live dashboard provides analysis by wave, order, or run, with search across operational data. Machine-learning weight intelligence learns product weights and identifies anomalies; Balea reports that it can avoid up to 95% of overrides at customer sites. Picking workflows include location guidance, item-control scanning, and lot and serial-number traceability. Instapick time-stamps picks to create a reviewable order history. SOLEA can control Balea equipment and third-party systems such as AMR robots, conveyors, sorters, and AS/RS equipment. It offers an open API, standard protocols, and preconfigured WMS/ERP connectors for SAP, Generix, Reflex, and Manhattan. A single instance can manage several warehouses centrally. Balea describes the product for demanding logistics environments, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, third-party logistics, manufacturing, and food and beverage. Pricing is on request.
