Manual SRCS
Storage Retrieval Control System (SRCS) is a web-based warehouse management system that streamlines storage, retrieval, and delivery operations by guiding operators through handheld scanning devices in a fully manual setup without automated cranes or conveyors. Each scan instantly validates the action within the system, ensuring only authorized movements take place while updating all inventory data in real time for accurate and controlled warehouse management.
Storage Retrieval Control System
A web-based warehouse management solution designed to optimize storage, retrieval, and delivery operations through system-guided, scan-validated operator workflows.
What Is Manual SRCS?
SRCS is a web-based warehouse management system that brings digital precision to manual operations by guiding operators through storage and delivery tasks using handheld scanners. By validating every scan in real time, the system ensures data accuracy and authorized movements without the need for complex automated machinery like cranes or conveyors. Ultimately, it serves as a bridge between traditional labor and modern digital control, optimizing workflows through system-led verification.
Core System Capabilities
SRCS combines real-time tracking, guided workflows, and seamless integration to deliver full warehouse control through handheld scanning.
Real-Time Inventory Tracking
Every pallet movement is captured instantly through barcode scanning, maintaining an always-current view of stock across all warehouse locations.
System-Guided Operations
SRCS directs operators precisely where to store or retrieve each pallet, removing reliance on memory, paper lists, or manual coordination.
Seamless System Integration
Communicates with sequencing systems such as JITS via structured messages, keeping all connected systems synchronized in real time.
Error Prevention & Alerts
Every scan is validated before confirmation. Operators receive immediate alerts for any discrepancy, preventing incorrect moves before they occur.
System Actors
SRCS serves both human operators and connected systems, each with a defined role in the warehouse workflow.
Human Users
- Warehouse Operators scan pallets & locations to confirm every movement
- Inventory Managers oversee stock levels, fulfillment, and holds
- Shipping Coordinators verify shipment readiness and dispatch accuracy
System Actors
- JITS sends pick orders (SRRO) and receives status updates from SRCS
- Barcode Scanners capture real-time pallet and location data in the field
- SRCS Engine validates, routes, and records all warehouse movements
Applications
SRCS is delivered through two purpose-built interfaces, each serving a distinct operational role.
DMS
The management interface for configuration, inventory data, and tracking dashboards. Provides supervisors and managers with full visibility and control over warehouse operations.
Scanner Screen
The operator-facing interface used on handheld devices. Displays the real-time job queue and provides step-by-step pallet guidance for every task.
Key System Benefits
Manual SRCS delivers measurable improvements across traceability, accuracy, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Full Traceability
Every pallet is tracked from arrival to shipment. SRCS maintains a complete, real-time record of all inventory movements.
Operator-Guided Workflow
Operators are directed at every step — reducing reliance on memory, paper, or spreadsheets and minimizing human error.
Automated Validation
Each scan is validated before any move is confirmed, preventing misplacements, wrong shipments, and sequence errors.
Seamless Integration
SRCS communicates with JITS via structured messages, ensuring all systems remain synchronized throughout every operation.
Built-In Quality Control
Quality Hold pallets are automatically identified and routed, preventing non-conforming goods from being shipped.
Scalable & Adaptable
The manual SRCS model works without automation infrastructure, making it ideal for facilities like Sage.
Connected MES Ecosystem
Manual SRCS operates as part of a broader manufacturing execution environment, sharing data with planning, sequencing, quality, and delivery systems to ensure end-to-end operational alignment.
