WMS (Warehouse Management System)
A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software solution for controlling, optimizing, and monitoring all processes within a warehouse. A WMS manages inventory, controls picking, receiving, shipping, stock transfers, and shipping processes.
In conjunction with industrial printing systems, a WMS plays a central role in automated label printing, for example, for shipping labels, pallet labels, batch identification, or barcode printing. Direct integration with printers or print controllers (such as MPCs) ensures just-in-time labeling, variable data, and reliable barcode output.
