E-Business Suite includes support for WMS Receipt and Shipping transactions. RFID enabling other transactions is possible via enhancement and can leverage existing API calls.

Material Handling Equipments

Broad range of warehouse automation equipments Enhance efficiency Improve accuracy Reduce costs

Store • Pick-to-light system • Carousels • ASRS

Update

• Conveyors / diverters • AGV • Sortation devices

• Fixed mount barcode/RFID • Weighing Scales • Dimensioning devices

Customers often want integrated E-Business Suite solution support for complex material automation within WMS

Integration Challenges

MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENTS

Multiple equipment types
Pick to Light, Carousel, Scales, etc.

Multiple equipment vendors
White Systems, Siemens, etc.

Multiple business processes
Pick, Putaway, etc.

Complexity of Integration
PLC commands to and from TCP/IP socket

Absence of Standards
Inconsistent Data formats and protocols How to integrate with MHE to automate warehouse transactions?

Introducing WCS

Introducing Warehouse Control System (WCS) in WMS
Integrated with WMS: "Built-in, not, Bolt-on" integration
Available in WMS 11.5.10 and beyond
Existing WMS device definition can be used Configurable MHE Integration
Flexible construction of bi-directional vendor specific message
Real time dynamic integration with devices
Uniform approach for broad range of equipments and processes

WMS Business Event

WMS Transaction

Process Device Request in WCS
Vendor specific message structure dynamically constructed in WCS
WCS transmits request message to MHE using IP and Port information in WCS

Physical Transaction in MHE
MHE performs the physical transaction and sends a response to WCS

WCS Device Request

Device Response

Process Device Response in WCS
WCS interprets MHE response message and initiates WMS transaction confirmation

Transaction Confirmation in WMS
WMS transactions are confirmed manually or automatically based on device response

MHE

Devices

Easy Setup and Configuration

Ease of Setup: •Activate settings •Copy, Edit and Export

Easy configuration of Vendor Specific Directive Request and Response messages

WMS Device Integration Options

Batch Mode: Tasks are pushed in batch to MHE when a WMS business event occurs Example: Batch Integration with Pick to Light system based on pick release event in WMS Single Task Mode: Individual task is pushed to MHE when a WMS business event occurs Example: Task Integration with Vertical Carousel based on Pick Load event in WMS

Use Case#1: Pick to Light

Batch Interface with pick to light system on pick release Directive message for Pick Tasks sent to pick to light


Pick to light system maintains the task queue

Task presented to user by pick to light system User confirms the pick task in pick to light system Pick task confirmed in WMS

WMS Pick Release

WCS Batch Interface Task presented to User in Pick to Light System User picks and confirms In Pick to Light System

WCS Interface Task Confirmed in WMS

Use Case #2: Vertical Carousel

User identifies the task to be performed


Device Integration Auto Invoked when task is presented on mobile screen

Directive request message is sent to carousel to rotate and position locator for picking Carousel rotates to bring the pick locator in front Operator confirms pick task on mobile screen

WMS Pick Task Dispatched to user

WCS Interface Carousel rotates and positions locator for picking

WCS Interface User picks and confirms the task in WMS pick load page Task Confirmed in WMS
