SmartMoves In Warehouse Automation
Tech King Operations, the Software and Controls Engineering company that developed "Champ", the highly successful, PC based, distribution conveyor control system, announces "SmartMoves" Warehouse Control System (WCS).
"SmartMoves" is a full suite of WCS features that integrates with a company's existing inventory system to provide the real time control required to efficiently direct the flow of materials and people throughout the warehouse, without the cost or complexity of a full scale Warehouse Management System (WMS). SmartMoves directs activities via RF, pick-to-light or voice, and controls conveyors and sortation.
Adding "SmartMoves" to an existing inventory system can transform the conventional warehouse operations of any size into a modern, efficient, automated, distribution environment. "SmartMoves" can direct warehouse activities, provide paperless processes, and integrate material handling hardware, to increase accuracy and productivity.
Most business systems today can keep track of basic inventory information and can create an order for shipping goods to a customer. But, ask it to increase warehouse productivity by doing batched RF picking, support a forward pick zone with pick-to-light or control a high-speed sortation system and you'll likely be out of luck. Many WMS don't do all these things either, but they can by adding "SmartMoves".
Michael VanderMolen, President of Tech King, says, "Our clients have been using our "Champ" system to control their high-speed sorters and shipping conveyors for years. At their request, we have identified and developed upstream functionality that will help them improve their order fulfillment productivity and accuracy, while maximizing their system's throughput."
The results of these developments have been compiled into a new high-performance WCS that is highly scalable and configurable. "SmartMoves" helps control warehouse activities and devices that are inside the value stream and minimize ones that aren't." says Phil Borgemenke, Chief Technical Officer, "We allow you to select only the features you need, which makes it very scalable and therefore, very affordable."
