Integrate Oracle Fusion Cloud Warehouse Management with Multiple Automation Control Systems in the Warehouse

In this use case, your business must integrate multiple automation systems with Oracle Warehouse Management.

Description	Integration Type	Integration Options	Notes
Your business must integrate multiple warehouse automation systems with Oracle Warehouse Management. Depending on the type of automation system and their associated automation-control systems capabilities, you should identify: The right set of events to handle and respond to. Timing: How and when, and the time limits for responding to the events. The right set of APIs to enable communication with the automation-control system. The exact fields and formats needed to communicate. Planning for the integration requires you to: Configure the system appropriately to handle the automation type. Understand the automation and its layout already in place. Understand the automation-control system and its capabilities. Identify events. Identify the format and data required to communicate with automation system. Identify data transformation. Identifying critical response-time requirements. Evaluate high throughput and multiple-user concurrent scenarios. For example, pick-to-light, put-to-light, sortation, automatic storage retrieval systems, robotic arms, automated guided vehicles, and automated roaming conveyers.	Inbound Outbound	REST API SFTP	For a large data transaction with some embedded business logic, an integration middle layer is recommended. Explore ready-to-use integration packages if the mapping is uncomplicated or if using Oracle back-end systems.
