Australia, America or Germany is an
essential way to drive global standardization,
but also to be able to support remote
operations with the same skills sets and
knowledge.
SynQ's standard platform also enables
companies to upgrade and extend solutions
at any time in the future. Swisslog's
warehouse management system, SynQ, is
modular, ensuring functionality can be
added or removed as required with minimal
to no impact on existing live operations.
Having the certainty and predictability
across different geographies allows Swisslog
and our customers to source, support and
develop solutions without any challenges
relating to local resources or skills, and all
the while supporting global enterprises to
compare data across locations, and ensuring
a local support communication channel
continues.
2. ONE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CENTER
Flexible solutions that adapt to changing
demands bring a huge advantage to
warehouses. It is also important for the
solution to remain consistent across
operations, and be driven by a global
software development standard and quality
process.
Swisslog's SynQ has a unique Product
Development Center driven by certified
experts, ensuring consistency and
continuous improvement for the platform. A
large team of over 500 talented SynQ
professionals work across the globe and
locally to continuously introduce new
functions while keeping a common
standard platform as streamlined as
possible with the standard SynQ product
available in all warehouses around the
world.
3. AUTOMATION CONCEPT
A strong platform allows for extensions to
the system at any time after the initial
go-live of a distribution center. For
instance, if more AGVs and storage
locations are brought in to meet an
increase in demand, they are introduced
seamlessly.
As a supplier of future-ready automation,
Swisslog is in the best position to deliver
software that can communicate with
other warehouse systems. Setting the
proven standards of how to integrate with
machines, SynQ is the software for any
company looking for a platform that
communicates with advanced and
automated warehouse technology.
4. VIRTUAL COMMISSIONING TOOLS
A consistent software platform also offers
possibilities for virtual commissioning.
With the ability to develop solutions based
on findings from a digital shadow of a
warehouse, software becomes part of the
process from the very beginning. This also
