Peak Porter combines the capabilities of a Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Distributed Control System (DCS) to achieve greater visibility and control over warehouse operations, resulting in increased efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software application designed to manage the operations of a warehouse. It helps to control and manage the movement and storage of inventory and provides real-time visibility into the status of products and resources in the warehouse. A WMS typically includes features such as inventory tracking, order management, picking and shipping, and integration with other systems such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a type of control system that distributes the control mechanism throughout the system. Instead of having a central control mechanism, the control tasks are divided among multiple distributed systems. This type of system is often used in manufacturing and industrial settings, where there are many different types of equipment that need to be controlled and monitored.
