One system. Complete control of your automation.

The BreatheIQ WCS connects and controls every piece of automated equipment in your warehouse, conveyors, sortation, scanning and labelling in a single, joined-up system. One point of control. Maximum uptime. Full visibility.

The WCS gives you total visibility and control of your automation estate.

When every automation system is connected through a single control layer, faults are caught earlier, throughput is higher and your team spends less time firefighting.

Uptime

Most automated warehouses control their systems in silos, and pay for it in downtime and lost throughput.

No single point of control across automation systems

Operators switch between interfaces, equipment runs independently and there is no coordinated view of what the whole automation estate is doing.

Faults taking too long to identify and resolve

When each system manages its own alarms, a fault on one conveyor can propagate into a wider stoppage before anyone has a complete picture of what is happening.

Automation running below designed throughput

Systems that are not coordinated cannot run at their combined capacity. Bottlenecks emerge between systems that no individual system can see or resolve.

Reporting that reflects individual systems, not overall performance

When data lives in separate system logs, it is impossible to build a coherent picture of overall automation performance or identify where the biggest improvements are available.

High dependency on specialist engineers for routine interventions

Operations requiring specialist engineers for routine exceptions are fragile, response times are too slow and operational knowledge too concentrated.

New automation added without full integration

When new equipment is bolted onto an existing estate without proper integration, it adds complexity rather than capability.

Total automation control, from a single platform.

The Breathe WCS connects to every piece of automated equipment in your warehouse, creating a single, intelligent control layer that monitors performance, manages exceptions and maximises uptime across your whole automation estate.

1

Connect

WCS IQ integrates with every automation system in your warehouse, conveyors, sortation, scanning, labelling, robotics. Our engineering team manages full commissioning.

2

Monitor

A single control dashboard gives real-time visibility of every system, throughput, equipment status, alarm states and performance metrics, all in one place

3

Control

Equipment is controlled through WCS IQ; start, stop, zone management, routing rules and throughput configuration without switching between system interfaces.

4

Optimise

Continuous performance data drives ongoing improvement, identifying where throughput can be increased, where maintenance should be prioritised and where configuration changes deliver the biggest gain.

What better automation control actually delivers

Single control point

Every automation system managed from one place. No interface switching, no fragmented visibility.

Maximum uptime

Faster fault detection, faster resolution and fewer cascading failures.

Full throughput

Coordinated systems run at their combined capacity, not the capacity of the weakest link.

Complete visibility

Real-time data across every system, every zone and every order, on one screen.

Reduced dependency

Operational teams manage routine exceptions without specialist engineering support.

Planned maintenance

Equipment run-time data drives maintenance scheduling, reducing unplanned downtime.

Everything your operation needs to control your automation estate

Multi-system integration

Connects to conveyors, sortation, scanning, labelling and robotic systems from all major automation vendors.

Single control dashboard

Real-time visibility and control of every automation system in one unified interface.

Fault detection and alerting

Detects equipment faults in real time, automatic alerting before a fault becomes a stoppage.

Routing and zone management

Configure routing rules, zone priorities and throughput targets across your automation estate from one interface.

Performance monitoring

Live throughput, equipment utilisation and error rate data, continuously updated and available for trend analysis.

Maintenance scheduling

Planned maintenance alerts based on equipment run-time and performance data, reducing unplanned downtime.

Reporting and analytics

Automated performance reports by system, zone and shift, so improvement decisions are based on data, not instinct.

WES integration

Full integration with the WES IQ for end-to-end order orchestration from WMS instruction through to despatch confirmation.

Getting started

A structured engineering design phase, setting a clear and reliable path to go-live

Dedicated implementation manager and engineering team from day one

Structured operational handover — your team trained and confident from day one

Ongoing engineering support and performance optimisation post go-live

1

Discovery & Engineering Design

We map your operation, agree the integration architecture and design the control configuration, confirming compatibility with every system in scope before commissioning begins.

2

Integration & Commissioning

WCS IQ is connected to each system in a controlled sequence. Full testing is completed before go-live, including failure scenario validation.

3

Go-Live & Handover

We provide on-site engineering support through go-live and a structured handover programme that gives your team full confidence in day-to-day control and exception management.
