Qc Software?s Qc Navigator is Tier 1 Warehouse Control System

The core of QC Enterprise is the QC Navigator. The QC Navigator directs real-time data management and interface responsibilities of the material handling system as well as provides common user interface screens for monitoring, control and diagnostics.

As the focal point for managing the operational aspects of the material handling system, QC Navigator provides the critical link between the non-real time host and the real-time Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based material handling system. It coordinates the various real-time control devices to accomplish the daily workload. At each decision point, QC Navigator determines the most efficient routing of the product and transmits directives to the Equipment Controllers to achieve the desired result. The decision making process in controlled by two separate utilities, the Sort Manager and the Route Director.

The Sort Manager controls high speed sorting devices such as cross-belt, sliding shoe, tilt-tray, and wheel style sorters. This tool is utilized in environments where single source scan points are required.

The Route Director is utilized in more complex environments where multiple scanners are required during the routing process and provides for priority based route sequencing. This utility is easily configurable based on individual business rules and allows for complex routing and zone skipping.

The QC Navigator is a flexible and scalable module within the QC Enterprise system that ensures an environment that functions at the highest efficiency and the lowest total cost of ownership.

QC Software?s Warehouse Control System Right for Arbonne Canada

Based on similar principles that propelled the success of skin care products, Arbonne expanded into total body care with Arbonne Bio-Nutria. Developed for every stage of life, these nutrition, weight management, fitness, life enhancement and remedy products are convenient, safe and backed by the latest scientific research.  The company’s growth includes a distribution center near Calgary in Canada.

Since 1980, the vision to provide skin care products unparalleled in quality and effectiveness developed in Switzerland 29 years ago when entrepreneur, Petter Mørck, together with a group of leading bio-chemists, biologists and herbalists, founded Arbonne. These products, based on natural, botanical principles, are now shared throughout the world through Arbonne’s network of Independent Consultants. Building on these same founding principles, Arbonne’s product line has since grown to include both inner and outer health and wellness products that are pure, safe, and beneficial.

“Due to our remarkably strong relationship QC Software, we are delighted to work with these great warehouse control professionals to launch our Canadian Distribution Center.  It will allow us to continue providing the best possible product delivery to our 1.3 million consultants worldwide,” according Richard Estalella, who headed up the Arbonne Canadian Distribution Center project.

QC Software’s VP, Jerry List noted “QC Software has a strong and long-standing relationship with Arbonne and has identified the trends and patterns that make it best suited to our warehouse control system.  We are proud that the new Canadian Distribution Center will continue to gain the same efficiencies achieved in the United States Arbonne distribution centers.”

From systems currently used to manage the enterprise to technologies used for order picking, the whitepaper identifies core issues about the efficacy of warehouse control systems.  Current shipping methods and types of automated material handling equipment further assist in clarification of WCS opportunities.  The ability to look at near future (next six months) growth and current use of a WMS (warehouse management system) also provide a level of technology clarity. 

Warehouse control systems must address numerous challenges from multiple angles and perspectives, but if these are met they can produce benefits including a greater return on assets, increased operational capacity, reduced labor costs, increased inventory turns, an increase in picking and shipping accuracy, shorter process cycle times and improved customer satisfaction.
