RF Devices

Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud supports a handheld RF (Radio Frequency) device interface to access the Mobile RF terminal based application. The basic requirement for these devices are:

  • Should have a Secure Shell (SSH) app that can connect via secure encrypted SSH protocol to any configurable port number
  • Capable of supporting vt100 terminal emulation
  • Ability to display at least 24 characters by 16 lines of text, preferably 29 x 19
  • Keyboard should have separate alpha and numeric keys with support for Control keys

Typical RF Devices used in warehouses run Windows Mobile Operating systems (version 5.x or 6.x) or Android. WaveLink, Termius, Velocity, some of the SSH applications used by Oracle Cloud WMS customers, and others can be used as well. Note: SSH apps may not be included with the RF Device and may need to be bought separately. The RF Device vendor may offer other SSH apps. The following are some models used by current Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud customers:

  • LXE/Honeywell MX7
  • Zebra MC3300
  • Zebra/Motorola MC9190/MC9190G
  • Zebra/Motorola MC9590/MC9090
  • INTERMEC/Honeywell CK3
Note: These sample devices are for the text based Mobile RF application. In order for the device to support the Oracle WMS Cloud Mobile app, it needs to run Android - see the Mobile App section for more details.
Note: WebRF is not intended to be a production or high volume solution for RF. It is designed for testing purposes and for low volume use.

Connection Stabilizing Software

Some customers have used connectivity stabilizing software to handle spotty WiFi in warehouse where the handheld device connects to the connection stabilization software, which in turn connects to Oracle WMS Cloud. Oracle does not test or certify such solutions and customers would be responsible for making sure it performs per their needs. Oracle will not be able to debug any issues related to such software.

Computers

To access the RF application from a desktop or laptop, PuTTY is typically used.

Note: The devices and applications mentioned here are for reference. The customer is responsible for acquiring proper licenses etc, if any, as may be required.
