Overview
In modern intelligent warehousing systems, automation and digitization have become the key paths to improving operational efficiency and management standards. WCS (Warehouse Control System) serves as the core system that connects the Warehouse Management System (WMS) with underlying automation equipment. It is responsible for device control, task scheduling, and execution feedback, and acts as a critical technology foundation for achieving efficient and intelligent warehouse operations.
WCS is a system dedicated to on-site device control and task execution scheduling, primarily responsible for:
-
Integrating with upper-level systems (e.g., WMS, ERP) to receive operational tasks;
-
Breaking down tasks and intelligently allocating them to various equipment (e.g., conveyor belts, AGVs, stackers);
-
Monitoring real-time equipment status and handling exceptions;
-
Providing execution feedback and equipment status reports.
This manual provides a comprehensive introduction to WCS functionalities, system modules, operation guides, and its practical applications, helping users quickly get started and effectively manage automated workflows.
