April 26, 2023 Configura Launches Most Dynamic Product to Date

Configura officially launches its latest product: CET Essentials for Material Handling, making the design and installation process easier.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, USA — Today, Configura officially launches its latest product: CET Essentials for Material Handling. Previously, CET Material Handling users lacked a product that allowed them to design without being tied to manufacturer-specific content. This new software eliminates that dilemma and makes the design and installation process for material handling spaces faster, easier and more efficient.

CET Essentials utilizes easy-to-use placement and estimates of material handling systems, ultrarealistic 3D renderings and one-click piece counts. The intuitiveness of CET Essentials accelerates the design process, and the program allows users to export product counts and schematics for accurate pricing, specification and ordering.

“We’ve talked to many players in the industry: consultants, 3PLs, strategic planners, and conducted our own research on warehouse planning, and we consistently hear the same thing,” said Rich Trahey, VP of Sales & Marketing, Configura. “These teams need to quickly go from a blank sheet of paper to a tangible warehouse concept and then iterate their ideas and alterations between many stakeholders. With CET Essentials, they can make that happen with ease.”

The 3D component of CET offers realistic photo-like renderings, allowing designers and decision-makers to visualize designs better. Salespeople and engineers alike can now smoothly lay out a storage space digitally using visual components and built-in calculations, all while collaborating seamlessly.
