Industry solutions and use cases

KNAPP has accumulated many years of experience in constructing different types of conveyors and subsystems in various industries. All this expertise has gone to play a role in KNAPP’s software products.

KiSoft WCS can directly control different types of conveyors for different applications – all with our one standard system. These include: 

  • Carton and container conveyor systems 
  • Pallet conveyor systems 
  • Overhead conveyor systems 

KiSoft WCS controls the functions of all these technologies combined, so businesses do not need a separate WCS for each conveyor system. KiSoft WCS makes operating different types of conveyors easier and more reliable because it significantly reduces the number of interfaces and the associated risk.
