Conveyor Integration with Oracle WMS / WCS
I have a query regarding integration of a conveyor system with Oracle WCS. Below is the scenario.
We have a conveyor in the warehouse on which the totes move & there is a sensor at each aisle / lane perpendicular to the conveyor. This sensor scans this tote number & sends the request having delivery details --the loactor in the lane, item, qty--to the 3rd party control system which is in VB application. Based on the response that is received the PLC decides whether the tote has to divert in that aisle or not.
The physical scenario is in the morning, the pick slips are printed at pick releases & the hard copy of these pick slips are placed in the tote. Before this, the delivery number on the pick slip is tied to the tote number on a custom screen so that tote has the locator information in it when it moves on the conveyor. As it moves along the conveyor, sensor at each lane scans tote number & calls the VB control system to get response whether to divert or not in that lane based on the mapping of locators to lanes
