ARCO’s WCS Synthesize orchestrates your automated warehouse by translating orders into machine actions and coordinating routing across the line. It bridges higher-level systems and PLCs, and includes an API, PLC interfaces, a runtime database, event logging, record history, and configurable business rules.
In daily operation, the PLC drives the machines while Synthesize tracks machine states, stores operational data, and presents the live situation. It raises clear alerts when a device underperforms, and exchanges data with linked systems for analysis and optimization. This creates a controlled flow with reliable handshakes at every transfer.
The added value is predictable throughput and faster decisions. Synthesize integrates with ARCO’s KANSI to provide real-time visibility and trend insights, so teams spot issues early and keep output stable. It fits new builds and existing lines and supports safe, traceable processes across shifts.
Get in contactKey features of the WCS Synthesize
ARCO’s WCS Synthesize connects warehouse processes into one coordinated system. It links WMS and PLC controls, gathers live machine data, and stores valuable information for analysis and optimization. The platform improves visibility, control, and decision-making across every part of your logistics operation.
How the the WCS Synthesize works in practice
In practice, Synthesize sits between your WMS and the PLCs. It converts orders into missions and routing, supervises devices and buffers, and validates every handover. Operators view the live flow in a web interface or on HMIs with clear alarms and timestamps. The system reads machine states and counters, records events for traceability, and applies rules for priority and destination. If a stop occurs, Synthesize isolates the zone and reroutes where possible, then guides restart steps. Data feeds KANSI for performance insight and early warnings. The outcome is predictable throughput with fast diagnostics and stable control across shifts.
