Material handling made simple
Like many other areas of the supply chain, material handling is undergoing a huge transformation. Companies are embracing warehouse automation systems at a large scale. Over time, this can result in underperforming systems. Typical challenges include:
- Equipment is not achieving its expected throughput and utilization rates
- You do more and more manual interventions, modifications and workarounds
- Current algorithms and decision rules do not fit your changing order profiles and processes
- It takes too long to get products to their destinations
- There are pallets and cartons everywhere, but nothing is moving fast
- You can’t handle growing volumes anymore
Your warehouse control system is an essential component to ensure material handling equipment performs with harmony, precision, and efficiency. But it’s not always easy to find a system that can support a wide range of equipment and business logic. Used by companies like Ben & Jerry’s, P&G and DFDS, ORTEC’s Warehouse Control System offers unparalleled intelligence and flexibility. Our Warehouse Control System also integrates with other ORTEC software products to optimize the flow of goods beyond the walls of the warehouse.
Out with the old, in with the new
The ORTEC Warehouse Control System enables you to control a wide range of material handling systems. It is a hardware-independent solution, capable of both controlling PLCs and interfacing with 3rd party PLCs. It can merge multiple subsystems into one integrated, efficiently managed material handling system. Thanks to its advanced algorithms and logic, it can also increase the capacity of existing systems by replacing outdated (PLC) software. The platform ensures all processes and flows are planned and executed efficiently and reliably with automated scheduling.
Centralized approach
At ORTEC, we believe that material handling should be controlled and managed with a centralized system. The benefits of this centralized approach are plentiful. You can fully embrace automated planning and get more insight into the progress of tasks and orders.
