Solvo.WMS Architecture

The system is built on client-server architecture, and contains the following major components: DBMS, Core, Interface, Gateway.

DBMS

The system database is used for data storage. This system is compatible with the extremely low-cost Oracle Standard Edition One DBMS.

Core

System core, based on Unix (Linux) kernel. This is the core of Solvo.WMS, the powerhouse behind all data management.

Interface

System user interfaces provide graphical representation of data on desktop computers (running on either Windows or Unix OS) and wireless terminal interfaces.

Gateway

Middleware — an interface module, enabling smooth interaction between the Enterprise Resource Planning software and Solvo.WMS. It comprises two parts, which have been developed jointly by Solvo and the ERP suppliers.

The system core and database run on one or two dual-core processor servers. Workstations for warehouse staff are equipped with desktop computers, and staff have access to wireless terminals, which are either handheld or mounted on stackers. Document and label printers are networked. A database and application file backup system protect against potential system failures, and are integrated into the Linux OS and Oracle DBMS. Solvo has developed additional proprietary solutions for data backup, aimed at cutting the costs of purchasing additional backup software licenses.
