Towards a Remote Warehouse Management System

Abstract

This paper describes the software architecture and the required hardware components of a Remote Warehouse Management System using Augmented Reality, designed in the context of the project called WMS & AR project. The system architecture will augment the capabilities of an existing WMS system [1]. The main services that the extended system will provide are (a) automatic recording of the layout of the warehouse; (b) automatic measurement of goods; (c) exception handling. Moreover, the paper discusses the architectural requirements of the system, presents the proposed software architecture and refers to the future steps. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
