2、WCS Intelligent Warehouse Control System
Overview of WCS System: The Warehouse Control System (WCS) functions as a dispatch system. It serves as an intermediary between automated storage management systems and PLC control systems, establishing connections through internal protocols. This system orchestrates the management and monitoring of automated warehouses, controlling various logistics equipment. The communication process enables interaction between management/monitoring systems and various logistics devices. The logistics process allocates storage locations for goods based on transportation and storage requests from lower-level machinery, generating task instructions accordingly. The dispatch process prioritizes and queues tasks based on dispatch rules and priority levels.
Task Management: Incorporates task segmentation, prioritization, route management, node actions, and manual intervention.
Equipment Management: Covers equipment master data, status management, anomaly handling, and maintenance.
Dispatch Center: Encompasses task distribution, route planning, traffic management, execution of commands, collaborative avoidance strategies, and dispatch policies.
Visual Monitoring: Features equipment monitoring, statistical visualizations, and alarm notifications.
Interface Management: Handles equipment interfaces, connections with higher-level systems, and logs of interface activities.
