Connect the software. Coordinate the system.
Automation equipment without proper software integration is just expensive hardware. OptiCore connects warehouse management, execution, and control systems with automation equipment into a coordinated operational ecosystem — ensuring every component communicates, every process is orchestrated, and every data point is captured.
The Integration Challenge.
Modern warehouse automation involves multiple software layers: a Warehouse Management System (WMS) managing inventory and orders, a Warehouse Execution System (WES) orchestrating work across automation and labor, and a Warehouse Control System (WCS) communicating with individual equipment controllers.
Integrating these layers — and connecting them to AMRs, ASRS, conveyors, sorters, robotic picking systems, and other automation equipment — is one of the most technically complex aspects of any automation project. Poor integration is a leading cause of automation underperformance.
OptiCore brings deep expertise in WMS, WES, and WCS architecture, integration patterns, and the specific interfaces required by major automation equipment vendors — enabling reliable, high-performance system integration.
Deliverables
What We Deliver.
Integration Architecture
Design of the complete software integration architecture — WMS, WES, WCS, and equipment interfaces — defining data flows, message formats, and system boundaries.
WMS Integration
Integration of the Warehouse Management System with automation equipment and execution systems, including inventory management, order management, and labor management interfaces.
WES Design & Integration
Design and integration of the Warehouse Execution System orchestrating work across automation and labor — task assignment, prioritization, and real-time optimization.
WCS Integration
Integration of the Warehouse Control System with conveyor controllers, sorter controllers, ASRS controllers, and other equipment PLCs and embedded systems.
Robotics Integration
Integration of AMR fleet management systems, robotic picking controllers, and autonomous forklift systems with WMS and WES layers.
Testing & Validation
Comprehensive integration testing including unit testing, system testing, performance testing, and operational acceptance testing.
Our Process
How We Approach Integration.
Integration Assessment
Assess existing WMS, ERP, and software landscape to define integration requirements, constraints, and approach.
Architecture Design
Design the integration architecture defining system boundaries, data flows, interfaces, and message formats.
Vendor Interface Review
Review vendor-provided integration specifications for all automation equipment to identify gaps, risks, and custom development requirements.
Integration Development
Develop or oversee development of integration components, custom interfaces, and data transformation logic.
System Testing
Execute comprehensive integration testing in a test environment before any production deployment.
Go-Live Support
Support integration go-live, monitor system performance, and resolve integration issues during the stabilization period.
