Before you move to the cloud

Yes its possible to use a cloud-based WMS to run an automated

facility say the experts But there are some important issues to

address first

When it comes to their software a lot of warehouse and DC managers have

their heads in the clouds these days Rather than buying a traditional

warehouse management system (WMS) and installing it on their corporate

servers theyre opting for cloud-based applications that are hosted by the

vendor or a third-party on an off-site server often far away and delivered

via the Internet

Much of the appeal of cloud-based solutions is their low cost Companies

can avoid a hefty upfront capital outlay for software licenses as well as

ongoing expenses for upgrades and maintenance At present most cloud-

based WMS users are small warehouses that use basic equipment like

forklift trucks bar-code scanners and radio-frequency devices in their

operations

But what if a user wanted to trade in its forklifts and RF devices for say

sorters carousels pick-to-light systems or automated storage and retrieval

systems Would it have to rethink its choice of software Or is it possible to

use a cloud-based WMS to run a facility with sophisticated automated

material handling equipment

Not for the faint of heart

Industry experts say that while they havent seen much activity in this area

yet it is possible to use a cloud-based WMS to manage an automated

facility Our market is still green with respect to integrating material handling

equipment in the cloud but it can be done says Frank Camean president

of the 4Sight Supply Chain Group a supply chain consulting and systems

integration firm

Nonetheless they caution that this type of project isnt for the faint of heart

Along with the usual challenges of getting an automated system up and

running a company would also have to address some issues raised by

remote operation Fragility security and response time are all issues with

cloud-based computing says Steve Martyn chief executive officer for systems integrator Glen Road Systems Inc

In the case of a fast-paced high-throughput warehouse operation for

example one of the top concerns would likely be the potential for delays in

communications With a cloud-based setup information has to travel back

and forth across the Internet making some time lag inevitable But even a

lag of a fraction of a second could be too long for tasks that require split-

second timingmdashlike the transmission of instructions from the WMS to a high-

speed sortation system I have a certain time window to read a bar code

and get that information back to the sorter says Paul Faber director of software and systems integration at the consulting firm Tompkins

Associates

To prevent these kinds of delays a robust warehouse control system (WCS)

is essential the experts interviewed for this story agreed A WCS which

would be installed at the warehouse essentially serves as a local agent for

the remote WMS downloading information on what items need to be put

away or retrieved from inventory and then converting the information into

instructions for the sorters carousels conveyors and so forth that carry out

the tasks Because the WCS processes the data on site it reduces the risk

of delays caused by a disruption in communications

But one software executive cautions that a WCS alone may not be enough

Chad Collins vice president of marketing and strategy at HighJump

Software says pilots of his companys cloud-based WMS indicated that in

some cases a special controller unit might be needed in addition to the

WCS The special controller would sit between the WMS and the WCS

relaying real-time information from the WMS on say items needed for a

shipment to the on-site warehouse control system

A matter of volume

Another consideration for a company considering a move to the cloud is

transaction volume No matter how robust a facilitys WCS may be if its

transaction volume exceeds a certain level a cloud-based WMS might not

be viable because of the risk of slow response time

If youre in a high-volume environment Id be hard pressed to see someone

doing this says Camean Bandwidth and firewall can become a

challenge

Still Camean says he wouldnt rule out the possibility altogether If a

company could devise a way to batch communications from the cloud-based

WMS to the WCS he says this type of setup would work The WMS would

collect instructions regarding which products need to be picked for a

shipment the WCS would then coordinate the activities of the material

handling equipment to carry out the task Let the WCS do everything that

needs to be done and then send word back to the WMS that the actionshave been [completed] he says

Safe and secure

Another issue that inevitably comes up with cloud computing is data

security Its not uncommon for companies to have trepidations about

allowing their critical inventory information and financial records to be stored

on a computer many miles away outside the companys IT domain

It becomes a major concern for the customer where the data exists and

how they access it notes Jerry Koch director of corporate marketing and

product management at Intelligrated a manufacturer of automated material

handling equipment There needs to be a security scheme in place to

provide for [protecting] the information going back and forth [between the

WMS and WCS]

Thats why its so critical to pick the right hosting vendor for the job Camean

advises companies to ask the vendor detailed questions about its data

protection procedures including its processes for data backup and recovery

in the case of disaster He adds that companies should be aware that some

hosting services charge extra for data recovery

Its all about money

Because of their complexity these types of projects will require extensive

testing and debugging before going live the experts say In fact when it

comes time for the pilot they recommend bringing in all of the vendors

involvedmdashthe suppliers of the WMS the WCS and the material handling

equipment as well as the software hosting companymdashin addition to the

warehouses operations and IT personnel

Many folks need to be involved says Camean Its not as simple as

connecting the WMS to the WCS

Given all the complexities it seems fair to ask why any company would

consider using a cloud-based WMS to manage a highly automated facility

According to the experts the decision to go with a cloud solution would

likely be based on IT-related factors not by warehousing or distribution

considerations In other words companies would take this route to avoid

having to invest in hardware and software and more importantly perhaps to

avoid having to maintain an in-house IT support staff
