AWACon WMS
AWACon WMS is business-critical warehouse management software, designed to be customized for different automation environments. Retrofit delivery with minimal changes to your existing automation, ERP systems and IT interfaces.
Retrofit — adapted to your environment
AWACon WMS is designed to be tailored to different automation systems. We integrate with your existing infrastructure — automated warehouses, picking systems, distribution centers, ERP systems and IT interfaces — while minimizing changes on your side.
- Business-critical systems in continuous production since 1998
- Deployment downtime measured in hours
- Pre-deployment testing through simulation and digital twin modeling
- Simulation and digital twin validation in use since 1999
System capabilities
Core warehouse management functions on a modular platform. AWACon WMS controls and coordinates a wide range of material handling equipment — and can be extended with complementary capabilities such as intelligent automation and analytics as needs evolve.
- Control of material handling equipment — storage lifts, portal robots and gantries, AGVs, conveyors and automated forklift trucks
- Load and content database management
- Automation of repetitive manual operations
- Cross-system communication (PIOC)
- ERP integration — SAP, Infor M3 and other enterprise systems
- Material flow optimization based on production and order data
- History, event and tracking data (LMC)
- Reporting and analytics
- Extensible architecture for integrating AI-assisted decision support and optimization alongside core WMS functions
Built for different automation environments
Our core competence is adapting AWACon WMS to the customer's existing automation and IT landscape. Rather than replacing systems, we retrofit — configuring and interfacing the WMS to work with what is already in place, including enterprise ERP systems.
- Automated warehouses and storage systems
- Picking systems and order fulfillment
- Distribution centers and logistics hubs
- ERP connectivity — SAP, Infor M3 and other platforms
- Integration with existing automation and IT interfaces
- Minimal changes required on the customer side
Short downtime through simulation
Since 1999, Softsys has used simulation and digital twin concepts to test AWACon WMS deployments before they reach production. Material flows, control logic and system interfaces are modeled and verified in advance — so go-live is a planned cutover with downtime measured in hours.
- Digital model of the warehouse built for each deployment
- Control logic and interfaces tested against the model before installation
- Issues identified and resolved in simulation, not during shutdown
- Production deployment follows a validated, step-by-step plan
Maintenance and system lifecycle
Maintenance and cost-effective lifecycle management are an integral part of our development approach — not an afterthought. We use simulation and digital twin modeling throughout the full system lifecycle: deployments, updates and functional changes are planned and validated in advance, keeping production risk and downtime to a minimum.
- Cost-effective system lifecycle management
- 24/7 support for maintenance customers
- Software updates and functional enhancements
- Changes tested through simulation and digital twin before production
Implementation process
Our approach covers the full system lifecycle — from initial assessment through deployment to ongoing maintenance and evolution.
1. Assessment
Evaluation of the current state, material flows and required changes.
2. Modeling and testing
Digital twin and simulation of the target system. Customizations and interfaces verified before any production changes.
3. Deployment
Controlled cutover to production. Downtime kept short because the deployment has already been validated through simulation and digital twin testing.
4. Maintenance and support
Ongoing maintenance with 24/7 support, updates and functional changes for maintenance customers. Simulation and digital twin validation keeps changes low-risk and the system current cost-effectively throughout its lifecycle.
