The Warehouse Control System, simply referred to as a WCS, is the bridge for communications between the Warehouse Management System, or the Enterprise Resource Planning, and the automated warehouse material handling devices.
Benefits of the Warehouse Control System
- Provides an interface to an upper level warehouse management system where it exchanges data required to manage the distribution centers daily operations.
- Allows operations personnel to maintain the equipment in peak performance through the collection of statistical data on the systems operational performance.
- Provides real-time directives to material handling equipment controllers and operators that are required to complete the product routing and order fulfillment requirements.
- Allows cartons to be dynamically assigned to divert locations based on routing/order information received from the Host or configured sortation algorithms.
- Adds the benefits of accessing a graphical user interface on operational screens that functions to make control and management of the distribution warehouse a simple process.
- Allocates tasks to the various material handling subsystems as a means of balancing system activities in order to complete the required workload.
