Know the importance of WES / WCS in your Distribution Center

Even with excellent management systems and automation, each distribution center can develop superior intelligence when it is able to enrich processes and correlate them with the central management system.

In this way, the importance of implementing systems such as the Warehouse Execute System (WES) and the Warehouse Control System (WCS) is essential because they give your distribution center greater control and serve as a bridge to guarantee and improve processes, thus how to enrich the intelligent dynamics of the center.

Warehouse Execute System (WES). He is responsible for centralizing and directing as a decision-making entity all the existing automatisms within the Distribution Center, becoming in charge of these and operational issues. The WES ensures that very diverse technologies can coordinate their activities between one another.

Thus, the software helps with the coordination of DC and becomes responsible for having a real-time view of automation and other variables to apply these points to optimize different operations within DC. In this way, the WES is able to interpret when certain SKU’s change from high rotation to medium or low and allows the person in charge to appropriately locate such items and use the appropriate technology for each type of technology.

Among other advantages, WES allows:

• Control and coordination of all automatisms and processes, seeing them as a single system.
• Faster and more accurate response times.

Warehouse Control System (WCS). The main functions of this software are to improve the automatisms themselves, there being a module of these for each of these technologies and, in addition, to enrich the intelligent dynamics of the center. 

In this way, the WCS allows the technologies used to be more in line with the needs of your distribution center. The result of this intelligence is that the center itself operates as a living and intelligent entity that adapts to the changing dynamics day by day of the distribution center, providing more productivity and speed in deliveries, in addition to adding precision.

Some of the benefits that you will have:

• Control variables and automatisms such as Pick to Light, Pick to Voice, Sorters, among others.
• Coordinate the automatic systems with the required information and orders.
• Have a balance and tracking of orders, hardware management and information management in real time.
