Robotic Application WMH

Warehouse Material Handling (WMH) play a crucial role in modern material handling systems by managing and controlling the operations of various automated equipment within a warehouse or distribution center. When integrated with robotic applications, WCS can significantly enhance efficiency, accuracy, and overall warehouse productivity. Here are the key details about robotic applications in Warehouse Control Systems:

What is a Warehouse Material Handling (WMH)?

A Warehouse Material Handling (WMH) is a software application that directs the real-time activities within warehouses and distribution centers. It serves as a bridge between the Warehouse Management System (WMS) and the automated material handling equipment.

Robotic Applications

Functions Of Robot in Warehouse Material Handling (WMH)
