Gartner Hype Cycle: Supply Chain Execution Technologies
EVS recognized in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Supply Chain Execution Technologies, 2024 for the Second Consecutive Year.
Westminster, CO – EVS, leading software publisher driving innovation within industrial manufacturing and distribution facilities, has been recognized in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Supply Chain Execution Technologies, 2024 for the second consecutive year. EVS is named for Real-Time Location Systems (RTLSs)-Based Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), which is defined by Gartner, “Real-time location systems (RTLS)-based warehouse management systems (WMSs) leverage indoor awareness instead of manual scanning. This identifies the real-time position of assets (e.g., equipment, humans and products) and manages and assigns tasks and tracks assets based on their current location in the warehouse.”
Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities.
According to the Hype Cycle report, “RTLS-based WMS is a significant paradigm shift from traditional WMS. The latter had no explicit location awareness — the only location information being what was stored in a database — and relied on humans scanning items and locations at every interaction. In near real-time, the best information on the location of assets was based on the last scan. RTLS can enhance usability and productivity in some environments, such as very large buildings or places where scanning is problematic, like yards.”
