Westcoast Warehousing is a third-party logistics provider offering warehousing, trucking, and storage solutions for retail companies throughout California and the west coast. As business increased, the company needed a picking solution that would improve the pick time for each SKU, while reducing error rates, operator training time, and overall labor costs.
The Exacta Warehouse Control System provides customers with control of automation technologies, such as conveyors, automated storage and retrieval systems, pick to light, put to light, and carousels.
Getting product picked in an efficient manner for orders is only part of the process. The Exacta Warehouse Control System also supports interfaces to many forms of conveyor and sortation systems. With an interface capable of supporting any PLC or PC-based controls system, real-time information on product movement is used to synchronize the flow of materials from the pick areas, through value-add processes and out to the shipping dock.
Some of the additional automation that can be managed with the WCS:
Print & Apply machines
In-line scales
Vision systems
High-speed sortation systems
With support for all types of automated material handling equipment, the Exacta Warehouse Control System gives you a system that can be easily updated as your business environment evolves and system requirements change.
