CARTESIAN PLATFORM

From Enterprise Intent
to Physical Execution.

Cartesian connects warehouse systems, intelligence, automation and people in one adaptive execution loop—turning business priorities into coordinated physical work and using live operational data to continuously improve the next decision.

Integration Fabric

Create a lightweight interface between Cartesian and the customer's existing WMS, OMS, ERP, TMS and customer systems using APIs, events, connectors and synchronized operational data.

KEY CAPABILITIES
REST / API Event Driven Data Mapping Master Data Sync Authentication
PHYSICAL EXECUTION

Coordinate the operation—not just the robot.

A common execution layer can coordinate Cartesian robotics alongside existing automation, infrastructure and human workflows.

CLOSED-LOOP INTELLIGENCE

Every movement improves the next decision.

Live telemetry returns operational state to the Cartesian platform, allowing priorities to be re-evaluated, exceptions resolved and future execution continuously optimized.

Cartesian Platform Architecture

From Enterprise Intentto Physical Execution.

The Cartesian Platform connects enterprise systems, warehouse operating context, intelligence, orchestration, controls, and physical execution through one adaptive architecture. Business demand moves down into coordinated work while live events and telemetry move back up to inform what happens next.

Start With the SystemsAlready Running the Warehouse.

Cartesian is designed to sit between enterprise intent and operational execution through supported interfaces. The WMS and upstream systems continue to own business demand while Cartesian coordinates automation-level context and work.

Connectivity

Supported APIs, events, files, transactions, and integration endpoints.

Data

Mapping, operational state exchange, master-data synchronization, and interface ownership.

Access

Authentication, identity, network access, and agreed system boundaries.

Enterprise Systems

Own Business Demand.

Orders, inventory ownership, customer commitments, business rules, and release priorities.

Cartesian Platform

Own Automation-Level Coordination.

Operating context, task coordination, execution state, exceptions, and cross-resource decisions.

Equipment + Controls

Own Device Execution.

Machine movement, device state, local control, and equipment-specific safety responsibilities.

How the Platform Works

One Architecture.Six Connected Responsibilities.

Each layer has a distinct responsibility—from connecting enterprise systems and maintaining operating context to orchestrating work, controlling execution, and learning from live outcomes.

Open Integration

Connect Without Rebuilding the Stack.

Use supported interfaces to work with the systems already running the operation.

Local Resilience

Keep Execution Close to the Physical System.

Maintain device and local execution responsibilities where responsive operation requires them.

Live Optimization

Use Current Context to Inform Work.

Coordinate around priorities, resources, exceptions, and live operating state.

Continuous Learning

Use Outcomes to Improve What Comes Next.

Feed telemetry, performance, and modeled scenarios back into future decisions.

Physical WorldWork Gets Done

Carte+, automation, stations, and people.

These are functional responsibility boundaries, not a claim that every customer deployment uses the same cloud, edge, or on-premises topology.

Physical Execution

Coordinate the Operation.Not Just the Robot.

Physical execution is an ecosystem. Cartesian can connect its rack-native robotics with supported automation and human workflows within a shared operating model.

Shared Execution Context
The same priorities, operating state, and task context can inform Carte+, connected automation, stations, and human workflows.

Rack-native physical execution for storage, retrieval, vertical movement, and coordinated material flow within compatible rack environments.

Human Workflows

Keep People in the Operating Model.

Coordinate operator-facing workflows and stations alongside automated execution rather than treating automation as an isolated island.

Execution Createsthe Next Operating Context.

Physical execution produces new operating data. Cartesian separates live observation from digital modeling so measured outcomes and modeled alternatives can both inform subsequent planning and execution.

01Understand

Establish current operating context.

02Plan + Orchestrate

Determine and coordinate what should happen next.

03Control + Execute

Translate work into physical action.

04Observe

Capture live state, outcomes, and exceptions.

Operational Intelligence

Measure What Actually Happened.

Use telemetry and operating outcomes to understand throughput, utilization, health, exceptions, and execution performance.

TelemetryThroughputUtilizationHealthExceptionsKPIs
Digital Twin

Model What Could Happen Next.

Use simulation and scenario testing to compare alternatives, validate changes, and evaluate future operating behavior before introducing changes to the floor.

Across the Architecture

Capabilities That SpanEvery Layer.

Some requirements cannot be isolated to one component. They need to persist across context, orchestration, execution, recovery, validation, and enterprise access.

Multi-Tenant Context

Keep Customer Context With the Work.

Maintain customer, inventory ownership, workflow, service-level, and reporting context across shared operations.

Customer · Inventory Ownership · Workflow Rules · SLA · Reporting
Exception Management + Recovery

Adapt When the Plan Changes.

Detect exceptions, escalate where appropriate, reallocate work, recover execution, and replan around changing conditions.

Operational Sandbox

Test Change Before It Becomes Physical.

Use Digital Twin and simulation to model scenarios, validate changes, support virtual commissioning, and evaluate optimization.

Map Cartesian IntoYour Operation.

Every warehouse has a different combination of enterprise systems, workflows, automation, constraints, and modernization priorities. Start by mapping the current operating architecture and identifying where integration, intelligence, orchestration, or physical execution can create the most value.
