A comprehensive and modular system depending on the automated and robotic systems selected, our WCS (Warehouse Control System) WaCS manages and supervises all scheduling, synchronization and routing operations for your intra-logistics flows.
Management of retail picking stations, comprehensive picking and palletization buffer solutions
Management of station picking systems and mobile picking assistance robots
Comprehensive control of automated storage systems for heavy loads
Directly interfaced with the WMS, WaCS ensures both the optimal use of your equipment and the prioritization of urgent orders according to carrier departure constraints and the real-time status of the installation. The WaCS WCS optimizes the sequencing of priority orders to be picked, executes picking and replenishment orders and balances the workload in real-time between your different equipment. WaCS deals with all operations involving packets: routing, sorting, labeling, submission of documents, weight and statistical control, packaging.
At the heart of the automated system, WaCS prioritizes activities depending on the priority and status constraints of the system. In charge of controlling storage systems (shuttles, robots, stacker cranes), it constantly feeds your picking, palletization and replenishment stations.
Via its supervision module, the WaCS WCS offers a comprehensive overview of your system. Monitoring of activities and ongoing assignments: you’ll have a comprehensive overview of the installation, each zone of the warehouse and each piece of equipment. You’ll have direct access to the stock status of the automated storage systems. And above all, you’ll be able to directly analyze the performance of the system using a suite of predefined key indicators.
Reduced overall picking time
Simultaneous management of person-to-goods and goods-to-person picking processes
Reduction in errors and improved service
Real-time monitoring of production progress
Adapted management depending on the expected performance
An application that makes it possible to gradually add equipment and features
A Warehouse Control System (WCS) is real-time control software that orchestrates and supervises automated warehouse equipment. It routes, synchronizes, and optimizes intralogistics flows, interacting directly with the WMS (Warehouse Management System).
The WMS (Warehouse Management System) manages the overall organization of the warehouse: inventory management, order scheduling, and resource tracking. The WCS (Warehouse Control System) controls the operational execution of automated flows (robots, conveyors, stacker cranes, shuttles, etc.) in real time, ensuring performance and fluidity.
A WCS optimizes equipment utilization, reduces preparation times, lowers error rates, and allows for greater responsiveness to transportation constraints. It also offers complete visibility thanks to monitoring tools and performance indicators.
Yes, WaCS is designed as a modular and open solution, capable of connecting to various automated systems: goods-to-person, person-to-goods, pallet storage, shuttles, mobile robots, stacker cranes, etc.
WaCS balances the load between different pieces of equipment, prioritizes urgent orders, continuously supplies preparation stations, and provides real-time monitoring of activity. The result: improved productivity, increased flexibility, and continuous optimization of intralogistics flows.
Absolutely. WaCS is a modular application that allows new features or new automated equipment to be added as the company’s logistics needs evolve.
