Material flow control / inventory management software
What does the term material flow mean?
Material flow control is an important process in the area of goods movement. It coordinates and synchronizes all material and information flows that ensure that goods are available – at the right time, in the right place, in the right quantity and quality. It ensures throughput in line with demand by optimizing the sequence of work steps, monitoring order processing and distributing operating commands to the PLC of the machines or systems.
To ensure this, material flow computers (MFCs) are connected to the inventory-managing warehouse management system (WMS), which generates the transportation orders and then sends them to the MFC.
The pLG MAT material flow control system
Link between warehouse management software and automated warehouseThe pLG MAT material flow control system from proLogistik is the perfect interface between your warehouse management system (WMS) and the automated warehouse.
It offers you the optimum solution for controlling automated warehouse and distribution centers by flexibly coordinating and controlling your material flows in the application.
A smooth process in the warehouse – guaranteed!
Perfect material flow controlOur pLG MAT system solution controls automated storage and conveyor systems. It receives its transportation commands from the higher-level warehouse management system and forwards the control commands directly to the supporting control system. Thanks to the modular structure, it is possible to visualize processes and ensure a smooth flow in the warehouse through constant monitoring and control.
The integrated transportation optimization ensures that the system can react flexibly and promptly to all requirements. For example, it can recognize blocked sections at an early stage and bypass them immediately. The pLG MAT control solution simplifies the process in the warehouse, organizes all goods movements and communicates with various components. It combines pallet and container conveyor technology, storage and retrieval machines and packaging lines from different manufacturers, forming the heart of a fully automated warehouse.
