PRESENTATION: Controlling the Warehouse – Automation Using Warehouse Control Systems

SYNOPSIS

In today’s high-tech warehouse environment, many companies, including 3PLs, rely on cutting edge technology to raise productivity, reduce operating costs, deliver on short order turnaround windows, and maximize throughput and capacity. To this end, an automated warehouse offers immense benefits for operational efficiency and greater profits. However,  without the right solution to orchestrate these systems,  the benefits of integrating technology into  operations is largely limited.

To achieve the above, it is critical to understand how the automation control system integrates with the warehouse management system and have right configuration of key functionalities in place to achieve the optimal productivity and throughput out of the system.
