OPTIMISE.

We have developed the TGW Warehouse Software - our IT solution for planning, monitoring and optimising your intralogistics processes. The modular structure covers all relevant areas. These include everything from storage management and order fulfilment to material flow control and visualisation. Integrated seamlessly into your IT landscape, it is a powerful connecting link for your supply chain.

TGW warehouse software modular structure

At TGW Logistics, every day more than 500 IT experts work on implementing and evolving software solutions for our customers. The highest degree of planning reliability in implementation is our hallmark as a reliable partner. You can even reach our Lifetime Services specialists remotely around the clock! The modular structure of the TGW Warehouse Software enables an individual selection of software modules connected to your IT infrastructure.

Our WMS team has been carrying out the annual validation of our WMS software together with employees of the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML for many years. The institute's 'warehouse-logistics' logistics platform is one of the leading logistics IT providers. The very extensive catalogue of criteria, which is constantly adapted to market requirements, is validated against TGW's WMS solution.

Warehouse management system (WMS) – WERX warehouse management

Our WERX Warehouse Management storage management coordinates all intralogistics processes in your distribution centre - whether manual or highly automated. It manages the quantities and movements of all goods and links to downstream sequences (including activities at the various Workstations in the goods receiving area, picking area, packaging area etc.). 

The powerful software module is based on standardised processes and enables the easy and flexible integration of third-party suppliers (mechatronics, IT).

Visualitsation & information system – WERX SAV

Our WERX SAV information system is the state-of-the-art visualisation of your intralogistics processes. User-configurable dashboards enable easy-to-understand processing of data for different target groups. This makes all relevant key figures and reports available anywhere, anytime. Warning messages (alerts) provide you with real-time information about the status of your processes, displayed in real time on your mobile device. 

To provide intuitive navigation through the detailed levels of your distribution centre, TGW SCADA makes use of an optimised usability concept. 

The transparent processing and display of information about goods movements and key logistics figures allows you to keep track of the availability of your system. Our intelligent information system lets you keep an eye on your intralogistics at all times and take quick action thanks to the system's user-friendly operating concept. You can also enrich data using a function for storing notes and documents. This ensures that important knowledge is not lost and processes are optimised on an ongoing basis. TGW SCADA bundles all data into one system and processes it for display in a user-friendly manner:

  • Mechatronic units
  • PLC status
  • Availability logs and reports
  • Live transmissions by camera

Image processing – WERX computer vision

Our WERX Computer Vision image processing software enables the automation of process steps which previously had to be carried out manually and were very time-consuming.

The software module can be used in all process steps of intralogistics, including everything from storage, order picking, packaging, and goods issue. Various applications are available to match the individual requirements.

Intelligent technologies such as 3D image processing and machine learning enable autonomous workflows without interruption. They are also used, for example, in our fully automatic PickCenter Rovolution picking workstation or the OmniPick® zero-touch pocket sorter system.

Measurement

  • Incoming goods inspection and check of suitability for conveying
  • Carton measurement for tray loading

The fully integrated software module ensures continuous cost optimisation with automatic cost algorithms as well as a high-performance printing function (manual or automatic with up to 10,000 prints per hour).

IT-monitoring – WERX monitoring

WERX monitoring is our proactive warning and alert system for your server hardware and software systems (memory, processes, CPU, network). The warning messages provide real-time information about the efficiency of hardware and software. The messages can be configured and customised to enable fast intervention where necessary.
