The use of various software, hardware, and automation solutions aimed at improving the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of material handling and storage processes.
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application that supports and optimizes daily warehouse operations. It manages product receiving, storage, and shipping while providing real-time inventory, order fulfillment, and shipping data. WMS can automate manual processes like picking, packing, and shipping and integrates with systems like ERP or transportation management to streamline supply chain operations.
A Warehouse Execution System (WES) is a software application that integrates with a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to manage real-time warehouse operations. It optimizes goods and material flow, enhancing order fulfillment accuracy and efficiency. WES automates manual processes and directs material handling equipment for goods movement. By offering real-time visibility and control, WES increases productivity, reduces costs, and improves customer satisfaction.
A Warehouse Control System (WCS) is a software application that integrates with a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to manage and coordinate warehouse material handling equipment. As the central control system, WCS directs real-time goods movement, optimizing flow for enhanced order fulfillment accuracy and efficiency. It communicates with equipment, offers real-time performance visibility, and enables proactive maintenance and troubleshooting.
