Warehouse Control Systems (WCS)
What is Warehouse Control Systems (WCS)?
Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) are software applications that manage and control the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse or distribution center. They act as an intermediary between a Warehouse Management System (WMS) and the automated equipment (e.g., conveyors, sorters, automated storage and retrieval systems) on the warehouse floor. WCS focuses on the real-time execution of tasks, optimizing material flow, and directing equipment operation, whereas WMS typically handles higher-level functions like inventory management, order processing, and labor management.
