MHE Integration
A vertical lift module, a sorter and a fleet of robots, each doing its job perfectly — and an order that still has to be assembled by somebody walking between them.

Buying the equipment was the difficult decision. It arrived, it was commissioned, it does what the brochure said.
And then the order arrives that needs three lines from the lift, two from the sorter and one a picker has to fetch by hand — and nothing on the floor knows that those six lines are the same order.
You automated the picking and left the coordination manual. That is the most common reason an automation project underdelivers.
BizBloqs sits above every machine and every person on the floor. It releases the work, decides which resource takes each line, sequences the steps across systems, and owns the exception when one of them fails.

We integrate at the machine's documented host interface. We do not drive motors and we do not sell equipment — the manufacturer's controller does that job better than we would.
Buy the best machine for each job rather than one supplier's whole catalogue. That only works if something above them speaks to all of them.
A warehouse control system drives the machine — motors, sensors, milliseconds. That came with your equipment and it should stay there.
We are the layer above it: which order, which resource, in what sequence, and what to do when something fails. If a vendor tells you that you need a separate WCS as well, ask them what the machine's own controller is for.
One machine still has to be told what to pick and in what order, and plenty of WMS packages have no integration to it at all — so the work arrives on paper and the stock is counted twice. The BizBloqs WMS and the execution layer under it give you one stock position and one order flow, whether that is one machine or five. If the system you already run drives the machine and the numbers agree, you do not need us.
The long version of that argument — what automation actually costs, and why standard components almost always beat a bespoke system — is in the working paper Your warehouse is not special.
Why take our word for it? We let our customers convince you instead. BizBloqs customers are happy with their solutions and don’t hesitate to share their positive experiences. Our ability to turn any challenge into an efficient solution never fails to impress!
BizBloqs was one of the first to provide a WMS with scanning capabilities and we started a journey together. Our operations have gotten a lot more complex, advanced and especially bigger over the past 5 years and we have simply grown together.

When we had extensive logistic requirements beyond the capabilities of our financial solution, BizBloqs shared its expertise to transform Lantaarn’s entire warehouse experience together

We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!
Rik Klein - Sales manager
In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
Reinier Schot, Head of Production
No silent failures. If a job does not run, a message is not delivered or a machine does not respond, it is visible and loud. A system that fails quietly is worse than no system, because you trust it.
Question one separates a system that executes from a system that reports.
The WCS came with your machines. What most operations are missing is the layer above it that coordinates across them.
It does not have to. It runs under the warehouse system you already have, or directly under your ERP.
Anything with a documented host interface — vertical lift modules, shuttle and AS/RS, AMR, conveyor, sortation, light-directed picking, print and apply.
The work it was holding is rerouted rather than queued, and the orders affected are visible immediately rather than discovered at cut-off.
Possibly. One machine still needs to be told what to pick and in what order, and many WMS packages have no integration to it at all, which leaves the work on paper and the stock counted in two places. The BizBloqs WMS and the execution layer under it give you one stock position and one order flow, whether that is one machine or five. If the system you already run drives the machine and the numbers agree, you do not need us.
