AL System Announces Warehouse Control System vs. Warehouse Management System Webinar

AL Systems announces webinar to discuss how a Warehouse Control System can be used to streamline warehousing and distribution center operations.

2011-02-24

ROCKAWAY, NJ, February 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) AL Systems, a leading provider of Warehouse Control System and Order Fulfillment Automation solutions, announces their next webinar titled Warehouse Control System (WCS) vs. Warehouse Management System (WMS) to be held on Thursday, March 17th 2011.

There are several misconceptions about the functionalities and capabilities of a WCS as compared to a WMS. A WMS is a planning system designed to manage movement and storage of materials within a warehouse and distribution center. Despite being an extremely valuable resource in warehousing and distribution operations, customizing a WMS to control warehouse automation and material handling subsystems can not only be very expensive and time consuming, but also jeopardize future WMS upgrades. To address this issue, many companies are now turning to WCS solutions.

A WCS, on the other hand, is an execution system designed to direct real-time activities within a warehouse and distribution center. A WCS provides a single point of connection between a WMS, ERP and/or host system and the "shop floor", ensuring all floor activities are running smoothly, maximizing the efficiency of operators as well as warehouse automation and material handling subsystems such as Pick to Light, Voice Picking, RF, Conveyor Systems, Sortation Systems, Automated Labeling Equipment etc.

Upon attending this webinar, the audience will be able to get a thorough understanding of how a Warehouse Control System can be used to streamline warehousing and distribution center operations.
