Integration

We suggest that you obtain a Voodoo Robotics Starter Kit to conduct a proof of concept and determine how our devices can best meet your needs. Our Starter Kit includes the following:

• 10 Cloud Display Devices.
• 1 Turbo POE-T, a touch-screen enabled router that works on AC power or Power Over Ethernet (POE) and communicates securely between your Cloud Display Devices and VoodooDevices.com, the Voodoo Robotics server for small-scale deployments.
• 1 User Account on VoodooDevices.com, a server that enables you to configure your Turbos and Cloud Display Devices. It resides on the Amazon Web Services Cloud (A more robust server solution, Big Block Server, is also available for you to install on premise should you decide to do so).

Our Cloud Display Devices use the Internet of Things to increase warehouse productivity. They run on two AAA batteries and support up to five lines of custom text, including icons, barcodes, and/or QR codes. Some example uses for your warehouse solution include:

• Pick-to-light (pick wall, put-wall, flow rack, kitting)
• Picking Carts (batch picking, cluster picking, zone picking, wave picking)
• Increased Warehouse Productivity (Will-call, Quarantine, Instruction)
• Shelf display (Electronic ink static display remains visible when inactive)

We challenge you to use your imagination for specific applications.

Turbos act like routers by connecting Cloud Display Devices to the internet.  Install one or more Turbos on the ceiling, the wall or the side of your racks to extend radio range and improve response times.

Voodoo Robotics provides two server deployment solutions to communicate with the Cloud Display Devices, depending upon whether you wish to employ our cloud solution (VoodooDevices.com) using Amazon Web Services or deploy our Big Block Server within your own firewall.

Neither solution requires that you purchase dedicated hardware, but both require use of Turbos, WIFI-enabled devices that reside within the warehouse locations that route data between the Cloud Display Devices and the Voodoo Robotics server.

Integration between your warehouse management system (WMS) or Enterprise Resource Management Solution (ERP) is easy.

• The easiest pick-to-light integration is the simple query string.
• For more powerful interfaces, consider using our REST API.
