A recent seminar by a leading provider of integrated material handling systems, based in Lakeland, FL, helped companies evaluate if a Warehouse Management System or Warehouse Control System Technology is the right choice for their operation.
Hosted by TriFactor, LLC, distribution professionals attended the seminar, which was held in both Lakeland and Jacksonville. Presenters were Jerry List, Vice President of QC Software, Inc., who discussed Warehouse Control Systems, and Kevin Tedford, Principal with KT Consulting, LLC, who discussed Warehouse Management Systems. Topics focused on how the technology can reduce labor costs and improve both productivity and accuracy.
Tedford described how Warehouse Management Systems first took hold in the 1980s, and how many companies knew the time was right to implement a WMS into their distribution center operation when they saw delivery and labor costs start to escalate, and the need to control inventory increase. “It was the moment they first began to realize they had no control,” Tedford told the audience. “A Warehouse Management System changed all that.”
List addressed the Warehouse Control System side of the seminar by stating that companies still need to be educated on what a Warehouse Control System does. List explained how Warehouse Control Systems came into existence as Warehouse Management Systems began to take on more responsibilities, creating a gap that Warehouse Control Systems nicely filled.
“A WCS works in real time and adapts to situations on the spot,” explained List. “It is able to make a ‘last-minute decision’ based on current activity and operational status.” List commented that Warehouse Control Systems are newer and haven’t been around as long as the WMS. “Hopefully, those who chose to attend now have a better understanding of its capabilities, and what it can do to make them more productive,” said List.
“We put together the seminar in order to give attendees the knowledge they needed to make an informed decision as to the benefits of a Warehouse Management System and Warehouse Control System,” said J.J. Phelan, Chief Operating Officer for Trifactor, LLC. “Jerry and Kevin did an excellent job answering a lot of the questions that came up. Hopefully, everyone left with a little more knowledge on this important topic.”

The telephone is very important for all people. It allows you to keep in touch with your family and friends and it also allows you to communicate with your business acquaintances. Today, with the advancement in communication technology, it allowed people to communicate more clearly at a very cheap rate. Some communication mediums are also provided for free, such as emails.
With all the different kinds of communication technology available today, you would definitely want the best kind of communication system available in order for you to communicate with your family, friends and business acquaintances more efficiently and also at a much cheaper rate.
This kind of technology is called VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol. This is the latest technology available to all consumers all over the world to provide cheaper and more efficient calls. Unlike conventional phone systems, the VoIP uses the internet to transmit and receive voice and video signals. This means that the data transmitted is in digital format. Because it is in digital format, it will mean faster transmission rate at a much clearer and sharper audio quality.
Another great advantage of VoIP is that most VoIP service providers enable free calls within their subscribers. This means that if you are calling a person who is subscribed to the same VoIP service provider you are subscribed in wherever they are in the world you will be able to call them for free. There will be no hidden charges, and not a single cent will be charged to you. Not only will you be able to make free calls within the subscribers of the same VoIP service provider, but the best part is, the calls are unlimited.
Just imagine, if you are in the United States, and you are calling someone in the United Kingdom who is also subscribed to the same service provider you are subscribed in, you can talk for hours without worrying about the phone bill.
Not only are VoIP phones able to provide you with free calls, but they also charge far lower long distance fees and rates. For example, if you are calling from your VoIP phone to a landline phone in another state or in another country, the overseas or long distance call charges will be far lower than charges that you will have in conventional landline phones.
All of these things are just the beginning of the advantages of VoIP. One other advantage is that VoIP offers free features that are usually expensive in landline phones. Features such as three-way calling, video conferencing, caller ID, return call, call waiting and others are considered to be standard features of VoIP.
Because of these features, VoIP is considered to be the phone of the future.
However, you will need a broadband Internet connection for you to be able to maximize your usage for VoIP. You need a broadband or high speed Internet connection in order to transmit and receive data signals from the Internet at a faster rate. Without a broadband connection the calls can result to poor quality.
But, you should consider that most households and offices today uses a broadband internet connection and is readily available in almost every part of the United States, especially with the wireless internet capability that is widely available today. Broadband connection today is cheap and widely available, so getting VoIP in your home can be easy.
All you need to do is download a VoIP software program from the Internet from your preferred VoIP service provider website, register and start making those free and low cost calls.
The only disadvantage of VoIP is that when the Internet connection is down, you will not be able to make calls. Also, if you are using an IP phone used for VoIP and looks like a conventional phone, you can never use it if the power is out. This is because IP phones are dependent on home electricity to operate, unlike traditional phones where it has an independent source of power in their lines.
However, if you want to have a low cost phone call, VoIP is your best choice. Besides, electricity supply and internet connectivity is now getting more stable than ever before. With VoIP, you can be sure that you will be able to save a lot of money and also let you consider getting rid of your traditional landline phone.
