Hardware and warehouse technology integration
Connect hardware and warehouse technology to the WMS
COGLAS WEB WMS enables straightforward integration of scanners, handheld devices, printers, scales, volume measurement devices, semi-automated narrow-aisle forklifts, MFC, WCS and further warehouse technology.
- Connection via TCP/IP or web service
- Scanners, printers & warehouse technology integrated
We map the integration scope in a free integration check.
In brief
Hardware integrations connect WMS processes with devices such as barcode scanners, handheld devices, label printers, scales, forklift terminals, vertical lift modules (VLM) or conveyor systems. COGLAS WEB WMS uses peripherals and warehouse technology where they improve process reliability, speed and feedback. Which devices should be connected depends on goods receipt, picking, dispatch, material flow and IT environment.

Integrations and systems at a glance
This overview shows the key systems, formats and connections relevant for a clean data flow between warehouse, ERP, shop, carrier, peripherals and warehouse technology.
How it integrates
Information and material flow
A clear information and material flow is decisive: which signal starts the warehouse process, what COGLAS executes, and which feedback goes back to the leading system and connected surroundings in real time.
Printers
Generate labels, shipping labels, location tags as well as documents such as delivery notes, loading lists and CMR waybills.
MFC, WCS and warehouse technology
Connect material flow computers, warehouse control system (WCS) and equipment such as paternosters or vertical lift modules (VLM) on a project basis.

FAQ
Effort, data flow and security
The key questions for a technical and functional pre-check.
Which hardware can a WMS connect?
Typically scanners, printers, scales, mobile devices, forklift terminals and warehouse technology. The specific scope depends on the process and the device. Für Lagerleitung, IT und Operations ist das relevant, wenn das Thema operative Lagerprozesse, Systeme und Verantwortlichkeiten im Tagesgeschäft beeinflusst.
Do new scanners need to be purchased?
Not necessarily. Existing devices should be reviewed in the integration check before new hardware is planned. Für Lagerleitung, IT und Operations ist das relevant, wenn das Thema operative Lagerprozesse, Systeme und Verantwortlichkeiten im Tagesgeschäft beeinflusst. COGLAS WEB WMS wird im Fit-Check auf Nutzerzahl, Module, Datenqualität, Startumfang und Schnittstellen wie SAP, ERP, Shop, Carrier oder Lagerhardware geprüft.
Why is hardware integration important?
It reduces media breaks, picking errors and manual rework when it is embedded directly in goods receipt, picking, dispatch or material flow. Für Lagerleitung, IT und Operations ist das relevant, wenn das Thema operative Lagerprozesse, Systeme und Verantwortlichkeiten im Tagesgeschäft beeinflusst.
