Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) Tools

Browser Based Messaging

Custom notification levels alert users about system events and errors. Messages with configurable wording are sent when processes are completed, started, or stopped; errors occur; or performance lags behind a set threshold. Notifications are browser based and accessible remotely by any computer or mobile device with internet connectivity.

Configuration

Users can configure key operational characteristics including timeouts, error count thresholds, and heartbeat intervals.

Host Interface

FastTrak is able to connect to any ERP or WMS host operating on any platform. This powerful connection features configurable source and destination endpoints using TCP/IP sockets, FTP, shared tables, remote function calls, and more.

Diagnostic Suite

Diagnostic tools allow users to view critical operational data including communication between FastTrak and PLCs, and communication between FastTrak and the host system. Tests can diagnose issues with digital I/O, serial, and socket communications.

Human Machine Interface (HMI)

HMIs are a graphic warehouse representation that shows real-time behavior of each subsystem, details about each parcel, and process performance. HMIs allow users to monitor and control operations.

Dashboard

The dashboard is a graphic representation of pending versus processed work load. Users can allocate work by dragging and dropping tasks to different resources.

Spreadsheet Reporting

All process, transaction, and exception log data is available as FastTrak spreadsheet reports. These reports can be used for a wide range of purposes including operator productivity, machine performance reliability, audit trails, inventory, and shipments. Reports are created by stored procedure calls to the FastTrak database from within the spreadsheet environment. A wide range of standard reports are available as well as custom reports to meet specific user requirements.
