The SRT Warehouse Control System (WCS) is the command center for your warehouse’s machines and material handling devices. It operates at the equipment level, issuing instant instructions to conveyors, print & apply equipment, in-motion scales & scanners, sorters, automated storage units, and robots to move goods where they need to go.
With SRT WCS orchestrating your hardware, you gain precise control, high performance, and full visibility into every automated process on your warehouse floor. It’s designed for operators and engineers alike – providing a powerful yet clear interface to keep technology running smoothly.
SRT WCS gives you granular control over warehouse automation and the peace of mind that everything is running at peak efficiency.
Take charge of your warehouse automation. SRT WCS directly interfaces with a wide array of equipment – from vertical lift modules and carousels to robotic arms and autonomous mobile robots. As orders flow in or tasks are triggered by your WMS, the WCS translates them into action: it tells a Ferretto VLM to retrieve a specific tray of parts, signals a Fanuc robot to pick or place an item, or directs a Tusk mobile robot to transport a pallet to a new location. Because SRT WCS communicates in real time with each device, tasks are executed without delay and in the optimal sequence. The system ensures all your machines work together efficiently by coordinating their activities like a well-conducted orchestra. Conveyors won’t back up, lifts and robots won’t sit idle – the WCS keeps everything moving in sync according to the operational plan. By handling the low-level control and decision-making for equipment, SRT WCS frees your higher-level systems and staff to focus on overall workflow rather than micromanaging machines.
SRT WCS is built for speed, reliability, and adaptability on the warehouse floor. It manages equipment with millisecond responses – routing totes, diverting packages, and activating machinery at just the right moments to maintain peak throughput. If conditions change, the WCS adapts instantly. For example, if one sorter lane is getting full, the system can divert items to another line; if a robot or lift goes down for maintenance, WCS automatically reassigns tasks to alternative devices or alerts an operator to intervene. This level of real-time optimization means your automated systems are always being used to their fullest capacity, and any small hiccup is addressed before it becomes a bigger problem. The WCS also continuously balances workloads: it can queue or throttle tasks to prevent any single machine from becoming a bottleneck, and it synchronizes multi-step processes (like picking to a conveyor, then routing to packing) so that each step flows smoothly into the next. The outcome is higher throughput, fewer jams, and consistent performance across your automated operations – even as order volumes and product mixes fluctuate.
Stay in control with an operator-friendly interface that brings all your equipment into view. SRT WCS offers interactive dashboards and control screens that let your operations team monitor the status of every connected device in real time. You can see at a glance which conveyors are running, which VLM tray is currently being retrieved, how many orders each robot has processed, and more. Color-coded indicators and alerts immediately draw attention to any issues – such as a stopped conveyor, an emergency stop activation, or a sensor fault – so you can respond right away. The system keeps detailed logs of equipment activity and throughput statistics, empowering you with data to analyze performance and plan maintenance. Need to take manual control or perform a workaround? The WCS interface allows authorized users to send direct commands or adjustments to equipment with just a few clicks, thanks to its interactive control capabilities. For instance, you can reposition a robot, reprioritize an urgent order, or reroute a batch of items, all through the WCS dashboard. By consolidating control and visibility into one hub, SRT WCS makes managing complex automation simpler and more transparent. Your team gets the situational awareness and tools they need to maximize uptime and efficiency.
SRT WCS is designed to slot into your technology stack effortlessly. It can serve as the equipment control layer beneath SRT’s own WMS/WES or integrate with third-party warehouse management systems just as easily. The software comes with programmable interfaces and open APIs, allowing it to communicate with virtually any make or model of material handling equipment. Whether you’re running legacy conveyor systems or the latest robotics, SRT WCS speaks their language – common protocols and custom integrations are supported to ensure a smooth connection. This flexibility also means you can expand or modify your automation without overhauling your control software. Adding a new automated palletizer or AS/RS shuttle? Simply configure its interface in WCS and it becomes part of the coordinated system. SRT WCS is modular and highly configurable, so it can be tailored to the specific logic of your operations. Define your own routing rules, priority logic, or exception handling procedures – the WCS will execute them exactly as needed. It’s a future-proof foundation that grows with your warehouse, adapting to new equipment and workflows while maintaining robust performance.
