Logistics & Material Handling
Our logistics provision was enhanced when an already well established team of material handling and distribution experts joined MCS Control Systems in late 2001 and since then we have been able to supply a turnkey service for the distribution and logistics sector. The combined expertise and experience of the team means they can provide a level of service normally associated with a company many times larger.
Control Software
MCS Control Systems uses the latest control techniques to achieve high speed sortation and distribution whilst reducing installation and impementation costs. Each solution is closely coupled to the level of technology required for that solution. This can range from a highly available clustered server farm, leveraging the scalability of Microsoft© SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2000 Advanced Server down to a standalone workstation.
Among our existing customers are companies in:
- Computer equipment distributon warehousing
- Footwear distribution warehousing
- Consumer retail goods handling
- Airport baggage handling
Service
The service provided by MCS Control Systems can be scaled precisely to suit your needs. This can range from a complete turnkey hardware and software solution down to a simple modification to an existing enterprise.
After sales service packages can be tailored for cost and effectiveness. MCS offers a 24/7 quick response package for those businesses that require it, down to a 9 to 5 weekday package for less demanding applications.
Most problems can be diagnosed using Windows Terminal Services via a modem connection within minutes, and a decision is then made whether or not a site visit is necessary. This level of support coupled with an in-house installation service gives you the right supply chain solution for your supplier optimisation program.
You only need contact one company to fulfill a wide range of disciplines, all bench marked for cost effectiveness and innovation over the open market.
Conveyor Control Systems
MCS Control Systems is involved in the design and control of conveyor systems, elevators, sortation systems and production reporting packages to warehouse and distribution centres throughout Europe.
MCS also provides the client with an interface between the low level control systems and its own WMS. This enables real time reporting and traceability of all products from first pick to dispatch.
Turnkey Solutions
MCS Control Systems has the expertise to implement control systems at all levels from device control level 0, through to plant PLC systems at level 1, complete factory wide supervisory (SCADA) systems at level 2, to WMS interface and management reports at level 3.
Destination Server
The destination server interfaces between the low level control system
and the client's warehouse management or reporting system for traceability
of all products that are processed through the system. Products
are identified to the low level control system, usually by means of
barcode scanning, both static and dynamic.
From here a destination
is requested and received from the destination and the product is automatically
sorted to its final destination. A summary of this is either
sent to the WMS or can be stored or printed locally on workstations.
Projects typically include:
- Baggage Handling
- Distribution & Warehousing
- Environmental
- Industrial Waste Disposal
- OEE
- Shop Floor Data Collection
- Traceability Systems
