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.
