Automation and Robotics Integration

Connected. Agnostic. Proven. As automation investments surge, Hardis WMS serves as the orchestration backbone connecting every warehouse technology. From conveyors and shuttles to AMRs, AS/RS, and robotic picking, Hardis WMS keeps everything working in harmony, so automation becomes a performance accelerator—not a constraint.

Integrate Seamlessly. Innovate Withour Limits.

With Hardis WMS, automation integration is simple, robust, and future-proof.

Built to grow with your business, Hardis WMS ensures a seamless connection between all layers of automation — today and tomorrow.

Our solution is designed to connect with any warehouse control system (WCS), automation equipment, or robot fleet — without proprietary lock-in.

Core strengths:

  • Agnostic architecture: Supports all WCS models and OEM protocols.
  • WCS Master module: A built-in WES layer that orchestrates and supervises flows in real time.
  • Standard integration models: Defined with our partners to guarantee secure, consistent deployments.
  • Future-ready: Easily integrates new generations of robotics and automation technologies.

 

The orchestration layer that keeps everything in sync.

WCS Master acts as a Warehouse Execution System (WES), orchestrating automated and mechanized flows across diverse systems in real time — conveyors, sorters, AGVs, AMRs, or robotic arms.

The IoT Connector extends this orchestration to smart and connected devices such as beacons, connected gloves, put & pick-to-light, RFID, computer vision, and augmented reality systems.

In action:

  • Real-time sync between automated and manual zones.
  • Flow orchestration to avoid bottlenecks.
  • Continious feedback loops for improvement.

 

Freedom to choose your automation strategy.

Hardis WMS adapts to any automation configuration — white box, black box, or hybrid — depending on each customer’s architecture and the control strategy of each partner.

Integration modes:

  • White box: automation controlled in directional mode by Hardis WMS.
  • Black box: automation fully managed by the partner WCS.
  • Hybrid: both systems collaborate through open APIs and event streaming.

 

This flexibility ensures you can evolve your automation strategy at your own pace — without rebuilding your WMS.
