Fortna<\/a>, a provider of automation and software for the full logistics value chain, in collaboration with Moen, a prominent brand of Fortune Brands Innovations, has opened a state-of-the-art distribution center in North Las Vegas utilizing a Fortna-designed AutoStore solution.<\/p>\n

A ribbon-cutting event marked a significant milestone in optimizing operations on the west coast for Moen.<\/p>\n

The new center is a strategic fit designed to enhance Moen\u2019s ability to service key customers and streamline distribution to other facilities. It elevates Moen\u2019s operational efficiency and service delivery across its network.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnering with Fortna<\/a> once again to optimize our new greenfield location in North Las Vegas was a key decision for us,\u201d said Brett Woodis, Senior Director of Distribution, Moen.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur approach strategically resulted in a greenfield facility that optimizes our distribution center performance, allowing us to enhance efficiency across every phase of our operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

This new facility replaces Moen\u2019s existing distribution center in North Las Vegas. It will serve as a distribution point for many of Moen\u2019s products, including its innovative smart water products like Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff.<\/p>\n

The North Las Vegas facility is designed to streamline the flow of material and information within the distribution center, utilizing the Fortna<\/a> \/ AutoStore solution to enable high-volume, high-density storage and a high-performance Fortna sortation system.<\/p>\n

These systems are seamlessly managed by the Fortna Warehouse Execution System (WES), while the Fortna<\/a> Warehouse Control System (WCS) plays an essential role in directing automation across all functional areas, from receiving to shipping.<\/p>\n

Moen has opened a state-of-the-art distribution center in North Las Vegas utilizing a Fortna-designed AutoStore solution.<\/p><\/div>\n

Additionally, the site features sustainable implementations like right-sized packaging, which minimizes box sizes for shipping, resulting in freight savings, reduced material usage and reduced carbon footprint.<\/p>\n

Moen has been a long-time customer of Fortna<\/a>, having previously engaged with the company on several projects, including locations in Kinston, NC, and New Bern, NC.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s decision to partner with Fortna<\/a> for the new Las Vegas distribution center stems from Fortna<\/a>\u2019s proven track record in launching innovative, fully orchestrated facilities.<\/p>\n

Rob McKeel, CEO, Fortna<\/a>, said: \u201cWe are proud to have partnered with Moen in the design and implementation of this next-generation fulfillment center. Working closely with the Moen team, we were able to bring their operating model to life with Fortna<\/a> software, our unique application of AutoStore, and the addition of best-in-class material handling technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

McKeel added: \u201cThe comprehensive solution optimizes system performance while maximizing labor efficiency, capacity and inventory management.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis accomplishment underscores the strength of our shared vision and commitment to providing transformative solutions for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
