Architecture + Integrations

Connect enterprise demand to resilient robotic execution.

The Cartesian architecture creates a clear path from WMS, OMS and ERP priorities to coordinated physical movement. Cloud planning, local orchestration, equipment control and live telemetry operate as distinct but connected responsibilities.

End-to-End Reference Architecture

From business command to physical outcome—and back.

Clear system ownership allows enterprise planning, local coordination, equipment control and physical execution to operate at the response time each decision requires.

Enterprise-System Integration

Keep each system responsible for what it knows best.

Integration design defines ownership, decision boundaries and the events required to keep enterprise and physical operations synchronized.

Enterprise to Cartesian

Demand + context

Information used to create, prioritize and execute warehouse work.

Orders, waves, batches and task releases
Inventory, item and location information
Priority, due-time and service-level context
Receiving, replenishment, transfer and return requests
Holds, cancellations and operational exceptions
Cartesian to Enterprise

Status + outcomes

Information used to keep business systems and physical execution aligned.

Task acknowledgement and completion
Inventory movement and location confirmation
System, robot and equipment status
Exceptions, shortages and recovery outcomes
Throughput, utilization and operational telemetry

Integration Operating Patterns

Configure the boundary around the operating model.

Different customers require different divisions of responsibility between enterprise systems and the Cartesian orchestration layer.

01
Detailed release

Enterprise-directed

The WMS or OMS releases detailed work while Cartesian coordinates the robotic resources, routes and physical execution required to complete it.

Best aligned when Enterprise systems already own detailed task creation and sequencing.
02
Demand-level release

Cartesian-orchestrated

Enterprise systems provide demand, inventory and priorities while CarteCloud sequences and balances executable work across the automation layer.

Best aligned when The automation layer should optimize work across shared robotic capacity.
03
Defined operating boundary

Contained workflow

Cartesian manages the required inventory and task context within an agreed workflow, synchronizing outcomes back to enterprise systems as required.

Best aligned when A focused workflow needs a contained or standalone operating model.

Cloud, Edge + Control

Decisions made at the response time they require.

Planning can use broader enterprise context. Local orchestration must adapt to live warehouse conditions. Equipment control remains close to physical movement.

Enterprise planning

Cloud

CarteCloud

Maintain demand, priorities, planning context and system-level optimization.

Local orchestration

Edge

CarteEdge

Coordinate tasks, routes, resources, queues and recovery close to the operation.

Equipment execution

Control

CarteLogic

Manage equipment commands, device state and configured protections close to motion.

Operational intelligence

Observe

CarteIntel + eCarte+

Measure live performance, compare modeled behavior and validate future changes.

Integration + Commissioning Lifecycle

Validate the interface before the operation depends on it.

Move from system ownership and message design to tested production operation through a controlled engineering sequence.

01
Ownership

Map

Identify systems of record, workflow ownership and decision boundaries.

02
Interface

Define

Specify messages, fields, events, acknowledgements and exception behavior.

03
Environment

Emulate

Represent interface behavior in eCarte+ and the integration test environment.

04
Scenarios

Test

Exercise normal, peak, exception, restart and recovery scenarios.

05
Acceptance

Commission

Complete virtual, factory and site acceptance against agreed criteria.

06
Operations

Observe

Monitor live exchanges, exceptions and operational outcomes through CarteIntel.

Virtual commissioning environment Model synchronized
01
Normal flow Release → execute → confirm

02
Peak flow Demand, queue and capacity behavior

Virtual Commissioning with eCarte+

Test integration behavior before site commissioning begins.

eCarte+ provides a controlled environment for exercising workflows, interfaces and expected system behavior using representative operating scenarios.

Testing normal and failure paths early helps expose ownership gaps, message assumptions and recovery issues before they affect live fulfillment.

Interface confidence Validate messages, fields and acknowledgements
Exception readiness Test holds, shortages, retries and recoveries
Acceptance criteria Establish measurable expected behavior
Commissioning readiness Reduce onsite integration uncertainty

Resilience + Governance

Make nonfunctional requirements part of system engineering.

Recovery, security, access and data-handling requirements should be defined alongside functional interfaces—not after implementation.

Operational resilience

Design for observable recovery.

Define how the system detects, isolates, communicates and recovers from exceptions across enterprise, orchestration and equipment layers.

System ownership
State synchronization
Acknowledgement behavior
Retries and recovery
Degraded operating modes
Operational observability
Security + data governance

Define the operating boundaries.

Document the customer-specific network, identity, access, data and support requirements that govern the deployed architecture.

Network zones
Identity and access
Data ownership
Logging and audit
Remote-support boundaries
Change management

Final security controls and governance responsibilities are defined against the customer's environment, policies and project scope.

Design the Connection Before Deployment

Review your systems, interfaces and operating boundaries with Cartesian.

Bring your WMS or OMS architecture, workflow ownership and integration requirements. We will map the information flow, identify critical interfaces and define the validation path.

The final architecture depends on system ownership, workflow scope, recovery requirements, customer policies and the capabilities of connected enterprise systems.
