A Warehouse Control System Is Essential for Reducing Risk


Cincinnati - Within the four walls of the warehouse or distribution center, the warehouse control system is essential for maintaining an efficient operation and reducing risk. By synchronizing equipment, processes and personnel, the warehouse control system is the driving force behind your operation. And it provides you with the necessary information to pinpoint problems as they occur.

Key ways a warehouse control system minimizes risk:

Improves system reliability. While the Enterprise Resource Planning or Warehouse Management System is generally housed at a remote location, the warehouse control system is always on site and can maintain warehouse operations if there is a problem with the remote connection.

Provides system diagnostics and problem resolution. The warehouse control system can consolidate operational statistics and diagnostics across the entire warehouse, and provide improved visibility of equipment status and order tracking. By identifying inefficiencies in the warehouse system, the warehouse control system helps increase productivity, throughput and on-time deliveries.

Reduces downtime. The warehouse control system ensures the proper flow of inventory. From receiving, put-away, picking, to shipping, the warehouse control system controls the transport and routing of items for maximum throughput. The warehouse control system can react to last-minute problems on the floor to minimize bottlenecks and downtime.

Ensures order accuracy. By providing a system of checks and balances, the warehouse control system ensures order and shipping accuracy.

Minimizes inventory loss and spoilage. The warehouse control system accurately tracks inventory throughout one or multiple warehouses and ensures that proper inventory levels are maintained, thereby reducing loss and spoilage.

Reduces theft and fraud. The warehouse control system can uncover and eliminate fraud with targeted inspections. One company discovered that 80 percent of complaints for missing items were coming from a small number of their sales agents. Suspecting fraud, the company routed the suspected agents' orders for 100 percent QC inspection, thereby eliminating the problem.
