WMS systems can integrate with a wide range of Hardware devices, Barcode equipments, RFDC devices, RFID terminals, Material handling equipments and Information systems etc. that include, but are not limited to:  

• PC Server Machines, Client Machines, Laser Printers 

• Handheld, Fixed and Mobile Barcode Scanners/Readers

• Barcode Label Printers

• RFDC devices like handheld RF scanners, RingScanners, etc. 

• RFID Terminals comprising of reader (or interrogator), associated antenna, and the transponders (Tags/ RFID Cards) that carry the data.   

• Sortation Conveyer PLCs

• In-Motion Manifest and Sortation Systems

• In-Motion Carton Verification and Sortation Systems

• Check-Weight with In-Line Scale Systems

• Parcel Manifest Systems

• In Line Print and Apply Label Systems

• Tilt/Tray Picking and Routing Systems

• Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV)

• Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)

• Carousels

• Pick-to-Light Flow Rack System

Typically all Pick-to-light systems receive a data file from the WMS system and accordingly manage the LCD displays and switching on the lights. Then this data is sent in a text format to the WMS system, which updates its data (inventory per location, contents of cartons, etc.) accordingly.
