Break Through the Performance Ceiling

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Legacy WMS architectures often struggle to keep pace with the complexities of modern automation, leading to disconnected silos and operational friction. Learn how to unlock the latent capacity of your equipment without the risk or cost of a full replacement.

A warehouse orchestration platform acts as a central “brain” for your automated hardware, like a G2P carousel. While a WMS or ERP knows what orders need to be filled, the orchestration platform determines the most efficient way to execute them. It analyzes the queue of picking and putaway orders and instructs the automation on the optimal sequence of tasks, eliminating indecision and turning a disconnected piece of hardware into a high-performance system.

Yes. A key benefit of a warehouse orchestration platform like Onomatic’s is that it is “hardware agnostic.” It is designed to sit between your existing Warehouse Management System (WMS) or ERP and your automation equipment. The platform receives orders from your primary software and translates them into efficient commands for your hardware, preserving your initial investment and enhancing its performance without requiring a complete system overhaul.

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is primarily responsible for inventory management—tracking what you have and where it is. A warehouse orchestration platform specializes in execution—directing the people and automation on the floor. It takes the “what to do” from the WMS and figures out the “how to do it most efficiently,” synchronizing different systems and hardware to optimize the physical workflow in real-time. Onomatic combines the two systems into one seamless platform, ensuring both accurate data tracking and optimized direction of human and robotic agents.
