Cincinnati, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/14/2014 -- The second issue of “WCS News” (a weekly e-newsletter) addressed the important aspects of managing the critical demands of distribution centers’ (DCs) fulfillment requirements. These include basic automation of manual processes and advanced automated material handling systems. In the WCS webinar held in June, the value proposition of robust warehouse control systems (WCS) was thoroughly discussed including intelligent sortation logic, dynamic routing, inline scale interaction, data logging, and non-standard/seasonal operations capabilities.
WCS News also highlights the relationship between SKU count increases and space requirements. As SKU count increases, so does the space required to access (pick) them. Slow movers, which make up the majority of SKUs, are taking up more and more space. Outside storage is costly and inefficient. More efficient internal storage and picking methods are needed.
The upcoming WCS News also clarifies the new phrase Warehouse Execution Software (WES) is not a new breed of warehouse software. It is the effort of marketing professionals to create product differentiation where none exists. Best-of-breed WCS solutions meet the demand, flexibility, and versatility by bridging people and automation.
Issue 3 of WCS News will be available on August 18th and will addresses the value proposition of robust warehouse control systems. Subscribe to WCS News: http://bit.ly/1rRUXxR
