System Support

While DCS’s custom engineered material handling systems and warehouse automation solutions are designed and built for maximum uptime and reliability, occasionally an issue can arise. To help quickly pinpoint, diagnose, and address a situation before significant downtime occurs, DCS has a team of customer support engineers dedicated solely to troubleshooting and issue resolution. These highly trained experts are specialists in either electrical controls or warehouse control software (WCS). They possess vast expertise in evaluating and solving mechanical, electrical, control, software, and database issues.

Available 24/7/365, DCS System Support engineers are on-call around the clock. They log in to your system remotely via secure protocols to help your in-house system expert identify and resolve the problem. Your in-house point person always speaks directly to a DCS engineer from the first call; no third-party answering service or tiered checklist to wade through first and waste time.

Regardless of the level of severity- from a critical or serious disruption that halts or significantly impacts an operation, to moderate or minor functional issues that are important but less urgent- all issues are escalated accordingly, as well as thoroughly documented and tracked by DCS. If the issue cannot be addressed via phone call, your DCS’s System Support engineer will arrange for the closest available DCS expert to travel to your location, determine a solution, and get you back up and running with minimal disruption to your warehouse operation.

System support from our engineers is offered on a complimentary bases for the first year of a new DCS solution’s operation. Extended support is available by contracted annual agreement.

Training

One of the most important keys to keeping a warehouse automation solution running at its peak is the operation’s in-house team of system operations experts. To ensure your personnel are thoroughly educated on how to use, maintain, and troubleshoot your new material handling system, DCS offers a broad range of comprehensive training sessions. They include:

  • Operator Training: Conducted during the system commissioning process, this ensures your operators master the functionality and usage of the new system, including exception handling.
  • Maintenance Training: Provided during system commissioning, in-house maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) staff are guided through critical components and wear points within the equipment, as well as how to spot potential issues, perform routine service, and conduct other preventive maintenance activities.
  • Refresher Training: Available on an as-needed basis, these sessions are ideal for onboarding of new operators and maintenance personnel, refreshing existing users on the system’s capabilities, or explaining new functionalities associated with upgrades.
  • Technical Manuals: Included with every deployment, these detail the function of the system’s primary and sub-components and its overall operation.

Additionally, every automated warehouse solution deployed by DCS is overseen by a primary in-house contact designated by the system owner. This “Superuser” receives specialized training from DCS backed by a certification process to verify their system expertise. As your internal point person, the Superuser connects directly with DCS’ System Support Engineers when critical issues that can result in excessive downtime occur.

Spare Parts

During the commissioning of a new material handling solution, the DCS Spare Parts team produces a consolidated list of recommended spare parts for an operation to keep on-hand. Because all of DCS’s Customer engineered automation systems are designed using the optimal mix of technologies from a broad range of suppliers, our customers are not limited to a single source of spare parts.

Instead, we collect and compile a recommended spare parts list based on each manufacturers’ specifications. Upon approval from the system owner, DCS independently determines the best choice spare parts- considering price, lead time, compatibility, availability, ease of installation, and more. Once ordered by DCS’s customer, the parts’ purchase and delivery is tracked by DCS, which also offers warehousing for consolidation of all spare parts prior to delivery to a customer site.

Further, DCS conducts a spare parts audit to verify their arrival onsite at a customer facility. DCS also maintains parts documentation and warranty information. Standard warranties on non-consumable components are typically one year from go-live. Should a component part fail, the facility operator notifies DCS, which collects information about the part, processes the claim, and coordinates the shipment and installation of a new one.
