WCS (Warehouse Control System)
![]() | WaCS is a comprehensive, modular application suitable for all types of equipment that make up the solution. It coordinates and supervises all the scheduling, synchronisation and routing operations involved in intralogistics flows. WaCS is directly interfaced with the WMS and guarantees the optimum use of equipment as well as prioritising urgent orders, depending on the departure constraints of carriers.

Scheduling and synchronisation of logistics flows
Optimisation of the sequence of priority orders to be prepared
| Execution of replenishment and preparation orders | Balancing the work load in real time between different equipment | Management of the stocking and de-stocking of shuttle systems, mini-loads and stacker cranes |
Coordination of picking, palletisation, stock management and replenishment activities | Management of sequencing constraints | Weight and statistical controls | Routing of loads involving selection of the shortest route |
Supervision focusing on both production and maintenance
Monitoring of activity and current assignments | Visualisation of the general condition of the facility, each warehouse area and each piece of equipment | Visualisation of the condition of stock in shuttle systems, mini-loads, stacker cranes, etc. | Analysis of performance thanks to KPIs |
Advantages
economy | piloting | performance | optimisation | Modularity |
Reduction in overall preparation time | Simultaneous coordination of person-to-goods and goods-to-person preparation processes for for item picking, case picking and palletisation | Fewer errors and improved service rate | Optimisation of inventory levels by adapting coordination in line with expected performance | Modular application allowing for the gradual addition of equipment and features |
