Part of building the vertical carousel that best fits your needs is making sure that it can integrate with other warehouse management applications you already have in place. Typically, there are at least two layers of software in these solutions.
The first layer is the Warehouse Control System (WCS) software that controls the movement of totes.
The second is the Warehouse Management System (WMS) which can interface between the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software and the automated equipment. Integrating all of these applications is essential to eliminate duplicate entries, reduce keying errors, and maximize productivity. The more the layers of your warehouse operations are automated and integrated, the greater the accuracy, speed, and throughput you will see in your facility.
