Master your material flow with FlowControl™ WCS
By automating and managing key components like conveyor belts, scanners, scales, and routing mechanisms, FlowControl™ ensures that goods flow through your facility with precision and efficiency.
With advanced system visualization tools, FlowControl™ gives you the power to monitor and control your entire warehouse with ease. From starting and stopping conveyor belts to tracking detailed logs, notifications, and errors, FlowControl™ provides the insights you need to keep operations running smoothly. Additionally, the SorterControl™ variant offers enhanced sorting capabilities for optimizing the flow of cartons and packages, perfect for high-demand logistics environments.
Whether you are handling complex material flows or need to integrate new automation technologies, FlowControl™ WCS is designed to keep your operations running at peak performance.
Top benefits of FlowControl
Machine and Software in harmony
Integrates seamlessly with your existing ERP and WMS systems, enabling smooth operation across all warehouse processes. With support for technologies like robots, conveyors, and automated sorting, FlowControl™ is designed to work alongside modern warehouse automation systems.
Scalability & Flexibility
Designed to scale with your business, FlowControl™ WCS can adapt to changing operational needs. Whether you’re expanding your facility or implementing new automation technologies, FlowControl™ offers the flexibility to grow with your warehouse.
Cost Efficiency
Lower operational costs by automating tasks traditionally handled by labor. Automation improves efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and helps eliminate human errors, leading to cost savings on labor and inventory management.
Automation-Ready
With support for modern robotics, conveyors, scanners, and sortation systems, FlowControl™ is the perfect foundation for warehouses looking to embrace advanced automation. The system allows for seamless integration with robots and other cutting-edge technologies, positioning your warehouse for the future.
FlowControl Features
Real-time Monitoring and Control
This is the core function. FlowControl constantly monitors the status and performance of all automated equipment (e.g., conveyors, sorters, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), robotics, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)). It collects data from sensors and controllers to provide real-time visibility into inventory movement, equipment status, and order progress. This allows for immediate decision-making and rapid response to changing conditions.
Material Handling Equipment Integration and Orchestration
FlowControl seamlessly integrates with and controls a wide array of automated and mechanized equipment from various manufacturers. It acts as an orchestrator, ensuring all systems work in harmony. This includes:
- Conveyor Systems: Optimizing the flow of goods through the warehouse.
- Sorters: Directing items to the correct outbound lanes or processing stations.
- AS/RS: Managing the storage and retrieval of items.
- Robotics (e.g., robotic arms, mobile robots): Coordinating their movements for picking, packing, and transporting.
- Carousels and Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs): Managing these automated storage solutions for efficient picking.
- Printers and Scanners: Integrating these devices for labeling and data capture.
Task Scheduling and Dispatching
The WCS dynamically schedules and dispatches tasks to both automated equipment and, in some cases, human operators. It prioritizes tasks based on order deadlines, equipment availability, and overall warehouse efficiency to prevent bottlenecks and ensure smooth workflow.
Error Handling and Diagnostics
With support for modern robotics, conveyors, scanners, and sortation systems, FlowControl™ is the perfect foundation for warehouses looking to embrace advanced automation. The system allows for seamless integration with robots and other cutting-edge technologies, positioning your warehouse for the future.
FlowControl + StockControl: Ultimate Efficiency
At TBWB, we understand that true logistical mastery isn't about managing individual components in isolation. It's about creating a seamless, interconnected system where every element works in harmony. That's the profound advantage of combining our innovative StockControl and FlowControl solutions.
Individually, they are powerful. StockControl provides the real-time, precise inventory visibility you need to eliminate waste, optimize storage, and ensure product availability. FlowControl orchestrates the smooth, efficient movement of goods, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing throughput. But when integrated, they form a dynamic duo that transforms your operations from good to exceptional.
Imagine:
- Proactive replenishment—materials arrive before stocklevels drop.
- Optimized space and movement—efficient routes, maximized floor use.
- Reduced handling, increased accuracy—fewer errors, higher order fulfillment.
- Real-time insights—data for strategic, cost-saving decisions.
- Effortless scalability—adapt to growth without disruption.
Stop managing your logistics in silos. It's time to unleash the full potential of your operations. By combining TBWB's StockControl and FlowControl, you're not just investing in software; you're investing in a future of unparalleled efficiency, reduced costs, and a truly optimized internal supply chain.
