The future of WCS looks bright. As warehouses become more automated, there is an increased demand for real-time transaction management. WMS are designed to manage information; they are planning systems versus execution systems, yet it is fair to say that the WCS is the MES for the warehouse because it directs the tasks.

Is WCS wrong for anyone? Typically, a WCS is for high volume distribution centres, companies that process thousands of orders per day and utilize conveyor. That said even smaller operations are seeing functionality in replacing WMS systems with effective WCS plant floor solutions.
