Distribution specialist Fortna<\/a> has hired Dr. Hector Carlo to lead its science team, responsible for developing all algorithms for its FortnaWES warehouse execution software.<\/p>\n

FortnaWES was built to deliver exceptional flexibility, agility and responsiveness to enable complex, high-volume omni-channel distribution operations. It is built upon existing platform services that combine the best-of-breed integration, technology, real-time controls and system services that Fortna<\/a> clients rely on.<\/p>\n

Dr. Carlo brings with him an impressive research record of developing algorithms to support distribution centers and cross-dock terminal operations for improved efficiency.\u00a0He has published over fifty articles in these and related fields since receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n

He is also the co-founder of a software development company that provides a school management software package and a fleet management package. The software was used by the entire Puerto Rico public school system to enroll 390,000+ students for the 2017 school year.<\/p>\n

Dr. Carlo joins Fortna<\/a> from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayag\u00fcez, where he taught and conducted research in production, distribution and logistics and served as Director of the Lean Logistics Lab.\u00a0He was awarded the Industrial Engineering Outstanding Faculty Award multiple times.\u00a0He served as a teacher and consultant in Puerto Rico, the mainland United States and Europe.<\/p>\n
