SMECO: Updated WMS and RFID modernizes warehouse, store systems, and processes.

Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative (SMECO) is a customerowned electric utility cooperative that services more than 160,000 customers throughout Maryland, including southern Prince George’s County, Charles County, St. Mary’s County, and all but the northeast portion of Calvert County.

Key Challenge

This process resulted in the selection of Koerber’s Edge solution for the WMS and Meridian’s SAM (Strategic Asset Management) RFID/Barcode Asset Tracking Management solution for the RFID based yard/gate asset security system. “Alpine did a great job leading the selection process for the WMS and the RFID solutions. They helped bring the right vendors to the table, executed a structured, fact-based process, and supported us in making the best decision for our requirements,“ said Kathy Nutter, Managing Director, Logistics at SMECO.

“Designing the correct solution architecture to ensure that the new WMS and RFID solutions, each from different vendors, played well with each other, integrated effectively with Ellipse, and delivered the project requirements was our first real challenge. Alpine led this effort and helped us develop the solution architecture to ensure our success,”
