Locus Robotics + Generic / mid-market WMS integration guide
WMS · Research guide — not vendor API documentation
Mid-market WMS stacks can orchestrate Locus fleets when they can publish pick/transport tasks and accept confirmations. Many first pilots start with a light connector or middleware rather than deep customization.
Facility context: E-commerce fulfillment warehouse.

Architecture (conceptual)
High-level data flow for planning discussions. Confirm exact connectors, versions, and security with Locus Robotics and your Generic / mid-market WMS team.
- WMS (or WES) creates work for a zone or wave.
- Middleware or fleet software translates tasks into robot missions.
- Associates and robots collaborate; status returns to the WMS for inventory accuracy.
- Reporting may live in fleet analytics until WMS dashboards catch up.
Setup steps
- Inventory which WMS events you can emit (task assign, cancel, complete) and in what format (API, EDI, files).
- Pick one workflow (e.g. pick-to-tote transport) with measurable volume.
- Configure location and SKU/HU identifiers consistently across WMS and fleet maps.
- Run a dry-run with simulated confirmations before robots move live product.
- Define rollback: how associates finish work if the connector is down.
- Review security: credentials, network segments, and who can change tasking rules.
