Making Your Warehouse Facility Smarter with Advanced Software

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between a WMS, WES, and WCS?

    A WMS manages inventory, orders, and planning. A WCS controls the equipment, translating instructions into commands for shuttles, conveyors, and sorters. A WES sits between them and decides what happens next in real time, balancing workload across subsystems. Vendors draw the WES and WCS boundary differently, so compare feature lists rather than labels when evaluating products.

  • Do we need all three systems?

    No. The right number depends on how automated the facility is. A manual or lightly automated warehouse usually needs only a WMS. A site running AS/RS, conveyor, and sortation together needs execution logic to decide what each subsystem does next, and a control layer to drive the equipment. Most operations add layers as automation grows rather than buying all three at once.

  • Can we keep our existing WMS and add only the execution layer?

    Yes. Addverb's layers deploy independently, so execution and control can sit on top of the WMS you already run rather than replacing it. This is the usual path for a brownfield site, because the WMS is often tied to ERP and finance processes nobody wants to touch. Addverb's suite also supports taking the full platform where a greenfield site has no incumbent.

  • Does Addverb's software work with equipment you did not build?

    Yes. The control layer is device and MHE agnostic, communicating over OPC protocol, REST API, socket connections, and Bluetooth with PLCs, scanners, sensors, shuttles, lifts, RGVs, put walls, pick-to-light, and printers. This matters in brownfield facilities where existing conveyor or racking stays in place and only the new automation comes from Addverb.

  • What does a fleet management system actually do?

    A fleet management system assigns missions to individual robots, plans their paths, avoids obstacles, and balances work across the fleet so robots do not queue behind each other. It also manages charging, scheduling opportunistic top-ups and tracking battery health. Addverb's Movect additionally simulates average against peak demand, so fleet size can be tested before purchase rather than discovered afterward.

  • How long does a warehouse software implementation take?

    Software integration is usually the longest item on an automation project schedule, not the shortest. Timeline is driven by how many systems must exchange data, how clean the existing master data is, and whether the facility is greenfield or running while you cut over. Adding an execution layer to a working WMS takes less time than a full platform replacement.

  • How much does warehouse automation software cost?

    Cost is driven by which layers you deploy, how many integrations are needed, and the size of the operation, so a license figure alone is misleading. Integration and configuration usually cost more than the software. Taking only the layers you are missing costs less than a full platform, which is why Addverb quotes the modules, integration, and commissioning together after reviewing your current stack.

  • When is Addverb's software the wrong choice?

    It is a poor fit for an operation with little or no automation, where a standalone WMS does the job and execution and control layers add cost without purpose. It is also the wrong answer where an incumbent WMS is deeply customized into ERP and finance processes and the business will not accept integration work. Dirty master data will undermine any of these layers.
