For many Caterpillar dealers, the leap toward warehouse automation can feel like a risk to operational stability. The primary concern is rarely the technology itself, but rather the potential for disruption.
FDC Solutions is eliminating those barriers through an enhanced integration with Kardex. By connecting WMSv2 directly with AutoStore™ (via Kardex FulfillX), FDC Solutions has built a bridge that allows Caterpillar dealers to implement high-density storage solutions without sacrificing their established accounting or parts counter processes.

Agile Order Prioritizing. Balance critical service shop requirements with routine stock replenishment in real-time.
