Solution Offering: WebXpress WMS Mobile

34. WebXpress WMS Mobile Technical Architecture
Internet Data Center. Architecture
• The warehouse is Wi-Fi enabled
WebXpress WMS • Warehouse is connected to
Server Internet by dedicated hi speed
links
• The Portable Digital Terminal
FIREWALL (PDT) is also Wi-Fi enabled and
it has a built in bar code
scanner
• PDT is connected to WMS sever
over Internet
INTERNET • Warehouse may also have PC/
laptops connected to the
Leased/ Broadband Internet
Link: 256 Kbps to 1
• PC may be connected to a
Mbps
wired scanner
Wi-Fi Router
PDT Technical Details
PDT
• Wi-Fi enabled
• Bar code scanner
• 64 MB RAM
PC/Laptop • Windows Mobile/ CE OS
Wireless Enabled Warehouse • .net compact framework

35. Advantage of WebXpress WMS PDT architecture
 The application talks DIRECTLY to web-server 100s of Km away from warehouse over the Internet.
 There is NO MIDDLEWARE at the warehouse- thus no server, no maintenance, no downtime
 The application uses Web-services over Wi-Fi or GPRS over HTTP, thus not requiring special firewall
settings needed for an FTP or an SQL query.
 This also does away with docking, sync partnerships etc.
 The application retrieves data from web BUT then works offline. ALL validations of locations, SKU,
quantity are carried out within the device. Thus, workers can move around warehouse without
worrying about signals.
 This also means that we DO NOT need to cover entire warehouse with Wi-Fi signals.
 The built in locking mechanism ensures that when HHT is using a particular transaction- say a pick-
ticket- no other HHT can use the same. Also, web application too can not use it till the time HHT
releases or completes the transaction.
 Also, users can move seamlessly between HHT and non-HHT environment. For example, user may
decide to carry a pick ticket using paper and update the same directly into web-browser in a PC.
This ensures that if a HHT is down or work load is more requiring extra workers without HHT, we
can continue our operations.
