WCS (Warehouse Control System)

Warehouse Control System

Software coordinating real-time execution of conveyors, sorters, cranes and other warehouse automation.

Examples

  1. 01The WCS controls conveyors and sorters in the parcel hub, routing each box to its outbound lane within seconds.
  2. 02Before go-live, the WCS interface to the warehouse management system is tested with a full day of real order data at double speed.
  3. 03WCS fault logs show that one sorter diverter causes 60 % of all jams, so maintenance replaces it first.
