What Is a Warehouse Control System - MontaWMS

Manage all warehouse applications centrally from a single system

Warehouse Control System

What is a Warehouse Control System?

A Warehouse Control System (WCS) is a software application that controls and monitors automation and robotics systems in a warehouse. The WCS manages the physical flow of goods through subsystems such as conveyor belts, carousels, sorters, pick-to-light modules, and packing machines. The system establishes real-time connections with all hardware, monitors malfunctions, and measures the efficiency of each machine. In MontaWMS, the WCS is fully integrated into the WMS: both systems complement each other and together ensure a structured, automated workflow from inbound to shipment.
