Warehouse Control System

One control layer from the warehouse system to the PLC

Host systems issue work. Secure Sorter verifies each carton, releases it in the policy the site actually uses, and hands a checked decision to the PLC. The result is a line that can move with confidence — and a record of what happened.

  • Scan-weigh-dim-label verification
  • Wave or batch release
  • LPN tracking and audit
  • A confirmed PLC handshake

A control layer that earns its place on the line

The host system knows what to ship. The PLC knows how to move. Secure Sorter sits between them so every carton is verified, every decision is confirmed, and every result can be read back.

That is what faster, cleaner warehouse execution looks like in practice: fewer surprises at the divert, a clearer story for operations, and commissioning that is configuration of a platform — not a new pile of one-off code for each line.

Scan-weigh-dim-label

Verify before you decide

Identity, weight, size and label results are checked before a destination is assigned. A carton is not sent on a hope that the data will catch up.

Wave and batch release

Release work the way the warehouse runs

Orders can be released in a wave or a batch — warehouse language, not a product name — when Electrol configures that policy for the site, with license-plate and order context held through the run.

LPN, orders and trace

Follow a carton, not just a count

License-plate records can be assigned, issued, reassigned, voided, shipped, traced and audited. Multiple orders can attach to one carrier, then split or consolidate — refused while the carton is on the sorter.

Handshake with the PLC

Decide here, execute there

Secure Sorter prepares a checked decision. The programmable logic controller executes it and confirms. Tracking checkpoints and no-read recovery are part of the same contract.

Merge and induct policy

Setpoints you can audit

Merge and induct policies are published as setpoints, with export and an audit trail. Secure Sorter does not write those values into a motion loop.

When data is late

A path out, never a guess

If a scan is missing or late, the carton takes a fail-safe path. That rule is the difference between a controlled exception and a mis-sort discovered at the dock.

What this changes on a busy day

Throughput, without guessing

Keep verified cartons moving

Verification is meant to happen in the flow, not as a reason to invent a lane. Cartons with good data get a destination. Cartons without it take the exception or recirc path, so the rest of the wave can continue.

One signed project

Commission a platform, not a one-off

Routes, release policy, identity checks and the PLC handshake are configured for the site by Electrol engineers and run as a signed project image. The same platform also carries the operator screens, alarms and historian.
