• Handles real-time sortation decisions that your Warehouse Management System (WMS) can't handle
• Allows operator modifications to sortation on the fly
• Real-time data for performance assessment
• Diagnostic tools for troubleshooting

You could run sortation equipment with nothing but a PLC, engineered specifically to perform one task repeatedly, but how often do your sortation needs remain that static? When your sortation needs change, your sortation management needs to change with them.

Sortation management control (SMC) software provides a middle layer of control between your upper-level warehouse management system and your lower-level device controls. Warehouse management systems are great for keeping track of orders and inventory, but they're not very efficient sortation managers. And even the smartest device controls aren't necessarily going to know which package needs to end up in which lane, and they certainly aren't going to be amenable to on-the-fly changes to their control logic.

With a good sortation management control software package, you gain real-time control over your sortation process. You can monitor system performance, make adjustments on the fly, and get access to powerful diagnostic tools. As your business' sortation needs change, your sortation management control can change with it.
