Tompkins Control System Provides Cost-effective, Greener Facility Control
Raleigh, NC, October 2, 2008 --With uncertain economic conditions and the reluctance to spend capital on new facilities, Tompkins Control System (TCS) is the ideal solution for companies that want to gain greater control over their warehouse and distribution facilities without breaking the bank. TCS can be adapted to existing warehouse equipment and provide an upgrade to existing facilities – all in a very cost-effective manner.
Is your company concerned about the environment and increasingly being held to green standards? TCS fully complies with the green standard through the use of technology and controls to reduce warehouse power consumption. When compared to typical warehouse controls, TCS software exploits more power-saving features within its standard controls and conveyor equipment.
TCS integrates information systems (such as WMS) to real-time control of all equipment in your distribution center. Standard control systems move product, but they do not provide the type of data-rich information and troubleshooting that is essential today. For real control of warehouse operations, you need flexible, timely display of information combined with equipment control.
TCS offers a suite of products aimed to provide you with the tools to gain a competitive edge. The suite includes: Tompkins Integration Application, Distribution Center Control, Conveyor Control, and Sorter Control. See the chart below for more details and advantages.
TCS adapts to virtually any type of machine control and legacy system. No matter what type of conveyor, carousel, or pick-to-light equipment is in your warehouse, TCS can be configured to each. The system supplies a seamless flow of data between the warehouse floor level and facility management, creating real-time reports on operational history, equipment status, and even peak order seasons. To provide an additional level of security and control, TCS is supported by the Tompkins Total Support Center — a help desk available around the clock, seven days a week.
With TCS and its suite of products, you can:
- Provide up-to-the-minute data to your warehouse supervisors
- Improve existing facility automation
- Improve or install a new manufacturing line
- Consolidate and centralize control of process automation
- Reduce labor requirements and associated costs
- Increase visibility to plant floor operations
- Provide a single interface point between automation equipment and host systems
