UNISON WCS: Benefits for Operational Integrity and Performance

Simplicity is Power: The UNISON Advantage SilMan’s UNISON WCS meets the challenge by providing a single solution for command and control that harmonizes
equipment and material-handling processes.

The implementation of SilMan’s centralized UNISON WCS transforms a collection of automated components into a cohesive, intelligent system, delivering significant operational and financial benefits for clients across e-commerce, apparel, parcel, and cold-chain fulfillment.

• Maximized Throughput and Utilization: By optimizing the flow and balancing the work across all automated assets, UNISON ensures the entire system operates at its engineered peak capacity, minimizing idle time for costly machinery.
• Scalable and Flexible Design: UNISON is designed with an Open Architecture, meaning there are no license/user fees for the WCS software itself. Thus, providing a highly cost-effective and flexible model that grows with the business without penalizing capacity expansion.
• Enhanced System Reliability (Uptime): The system provides granular, real-time diagnostics and 24/7 Service & Support. If a component fails, the WCS logs the exact time and location, enabling maintenance teams to quickly pinpoint and resolve issues, drastically reducing Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).

Veteran Controls Design and Implementation

Don’t be fooled: WCS is not about software. Human ingenuity and relationships are at the heart of an efficient material handling system.
