Zero-Interruption WMS Integration: Connecting AMRs to Manhattan & SAP in Under 10 Days

Moving Past Custom SCADA Protocols

The single greatest point of failure in warehouse automation has never been the mechanical joints — it is the digital handshake between the facility's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Warehouse Management System (WMS) and the robot control stack.

Historically, connecting a robot to a WMS required months of bespoke SCADA programming, proprietary OPC-UA drivers, and brittle field-bus wiring.

The BonafideR Fleet Gateway Architecture

BonafideR decouples physical kinematics from warehouse logic via a containerized on-premise edge gateway (BonafideR Core Broker):

[ Manhattan / SAP / Blue Yonder ]
             │ (HTTPS REST / Webhooks / AS2)
             ▼
[ BonafideR Edge Gateway (Docker/K8s) ]
             │ (Encrypted gRPC / Sub-millisecond)
             ▼
[ Autonomous Robot Fleet (LiDAR / SLAM) ]

Pre-Built Production Connectors

We maintain certified, bi-directional adapters for the industry's four leading supply chain platforms:

Manhattan Associates Active® Warehouse Management: Native pick-task queuing and dynamic aisle assignment.

SAP S/4HANA Supply Chain: Real-time batch confirmation, pallet inventory release, and goods receipt messaging.

Blue Yonder WMS: Automated container routing, wave dispatch, and cross-docking handover.

Plex Systems (Rockwell Automation): CNC workpiece loading feedback and spindle cycle telemetry.

The 10-Day Deployment Timeline

Day 1–2: Network Audit & VLAN Provisioning: Static IP allocation and dedicated industrial Wi-Fi / Private 5G validation.

Day 3–4: Mock Order Simulation: Replaying 100,000 historical pick orders through our digital twin environment.

Day 5–7: Shadow Mode Run: Robots shadow manual operators to confirm dynamic aisle pathing and dead-reckoning accuracy.

Day 8–10: Production Cutover: Full handoff with zero facility downtime.
