WMS in logistics: efficient software for warehouse management
The Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software solution that controls the flow of goods into, within and out of a hub, distribution center, depot or warehouse. Thanks to real-time inventory (real-time warehouse management), the WMS knows where which product is at any time – even across multiple locations. This real-time status information enables higher productivity, shorter delivery times and makes decision-making easier for you. The Warehouse Control System (WCS), on the other hand, as an integrated real-time control solution, controls the route of the items, cartons or pallets along the integrated warehouse automation technology such as conveyors, sorting systems or picking systems through the warehouse and it ensures a smooth material flow. Autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) or autonomous mobile Robots (AMR) can additionally help to automate and optimize internal transport. For this reason, the desired products arrive where they are needed. Furthermore, the requirements for a warehouse management system vary depending on the industry, applications or complexity of the processes.
