The autostore system itself is probably c :-(
(Would be nice to redo it in Ada though)


The WCS system, that tells them to do, on a higher level is all Ada.
(WCS =Warehouse Control System)
That system talks to conveyors (usually PLCs) stacker cranes, labelizers,
AGVs, LGVs (auto trucks), selects locations to store goods within a warehouse
and of course talks to WMS/ERP systems.  (where we use AWS sometimes)
In this case we have 


  ERP  
    |
  WMS
    |        
  WCS
    | 
Conveyer + Autostore

where the WCS is all Ada.

there is also a combined WCS/WMS that is all Ada

(Except the gui, in both cases)
