A Warehouse Control System (WCS) is a software application for driving material handling equipment and is often paired with a WMS or ERP system. The WCS coordinates material handling systems to determine the most efficient product flow.
The key to a WCS software is the real-time integration with the various material handling technologies. In warehouses and distribution centers with automated conveyor system, the WCS will need to be tailored and configured to address customer-specific requirements for efficient routing of orders. Our WCS has integrated a large number of automated material handling equipment common in many facilities including:
- Lower level conveyor controls systems (PLC)
- Auto-Induction (box builders)
- A-frames
- Pick-to-Light
- Consolidation (Put-to-Light)
- Carousel
- 1D and 2D Scanners
- RFID Readers
- Print & Apply machines
- Weight-in-motion conveyor
- Packing or Void fill machines
- Sortation
- Shipping systems
- Palletizer robot
