Modern distribution centres with automatic warehouse and conveyor technology systems require high investment volumes. In order to ensure a maximum return on investment, the capabilities of the technical system must be fully used. This is where the Material Flow Control system inconsoMFS comes into play. Optimization strategies such as the dynamic determination of optimal transport paths, the use interleaving or dynamic transport destination assignment and sequencing of partial orders are all standard functions of inconsoMFS and guarantee an efficient and high performance material flow in highly automated systems. The integrated visualization system gives a precise overview of the situation in the facility and displays critical facility statuses and disruptions early to facilitate quick responses.
