A warehouse control system (WCS) is a software application that directs the real-time activities within warehouses and distribution centers. It performs the role of a “traffic cop” by ensuring the individual pieces of material handling equipment (conveyors, sorters, print and apply, etc.) run smoothly, perform with precision, and maximize efficiency.
