01Key Features of ORCA
- a comprehensive, ready-to-use functional ecosystem for WCS Development
- ORCA provides a fully equipped ecosystem containing all the essential functions required to develop a WCS. It helps developers build systems more easily and quickly, while enabling users to understand and operate WCS solutions intuitively. This ecosystem includes tools and features that make it simple and efficient to design and connect every element of a logistics automation system.
01
Intuitive Layout Design Tool
Easily arrange and connect logistics equipment using a drag-and-drop Canvas interface.
02
Simplified Biz-Plan Workflow
Logistics automation equipment is categorized four functional domains – Transport, Storage, Sorting, and Pick & Place – simplifying complex configurations and enabling efficient, customized Biz-Plan creation.
(Biz-Plan: A task that assigns attributes to cargo based on customer requirements and plans optimal movement paths accordingly.)
03
Integrated Biz-Plan Interface
Seamlessly integrated business plans with the WCS system to optimize logistics processes.
04
Adapter Library for Multi-Vendor Equipment
Connect and control various equipment types and brands easily using library of adapters designed for different ECS or controllers.
(Adapter Library: A collection of adapters developed for each type of equipment to ensure seamless connectivity between the WCS and various ECS or controllers managing equipment from different manufacturers and models.)
05
Flexible Scalability and Continuous Upgrades
ORCA’s modular structure allows independent service operation, enabling seamless upgrades and extensions without disrupting existing operations.
06
User-Friendly Environment
Even non-developers can understand and navigate WCS system through visual, intuitive UI design.

04ORCA System
Connecting, Controlling, and Optimizing Logistics Flow
ORCA processes commands from higher-level systems, designs the optimal flow of goods, and communicates with lower-level equipment (ECS) to execute tasks. It collects and analyzes real-time operational data to monitor and optimize logistics processes continuously.
05ORCA System Architecture
- Biz-Plan Interface Server : Integrates with upper-level systems (WMS, ERP) to receive and process commands.
- WCS Core : Computes movement paths and load logic to design optimized workflows.
- Adapter Interface Server : Bridges WCS and ECS, delivering executable commands to each piece of equipment.
Biz-Plan Interface Server → WCS Core Server
- - Interface with upper-level systems (WMS, ERP, etc.)
- - Process and convert Biz-Plan data
- - Deliver to the internal ORCA module (WCS Core Server)
WCS Core Server → Adapter Interface Server
- - Select optimal equipment to execute the Biz-Plan
- - Define travel paths and optimize task execution
- - Generate detailed task instructions for each piece of equipment and send to the Adapter Interface Server
Adapter Interface Server → Equipment-Specific Adapter
- - Convert instructions into commands that each device can interpret
- - Deliver executable tasks to the physical equipment
Equipment Adapter → Physical Equipment (AMR, Conveyor, etc.)
- - Equipment executes the assigned tasks
- - Provide real-time feedback on task progress to ORCA
Task Completion → ORCA System Feedback
- - Update ORCA with the completion status of each task
- - ORCA reports overall task progress back to the WMS
With ORCA, You Get:
Faster, more efficient warehouse automation system deployment
A simplified, intuitive development environment
A ready-to-use functional ecosystem that solves integration challenges
Reduced costs and improved operational performance
