Compass Order Routing System (CORS)

Warehouse Execution Software (WES) that Synchronizes Fulfillment Automation

The Compass Order Routing System (CORS) software package ties a warehouse management system (WMS) to a programmable logic controller (PLC). This gives facility managers a fine level of customization and control over the operations of all automation equipment systems. This advanced technology displays control information in real-time and sends visual notifications of any system faults instantaneously.

Through CORS’ sleek design, users can view control information, control package flow, and conveyor/sorter diagnostics, along with other critical data. Analysis is catered to the unique needs of a specific industrial warehouse, providing detailed error logs and reports to assist in diagnosing any possible control failures. This software can be deployed in a comprehensive web based package. For technical support, Compass can remotely connect into a system at any time to walk through any problems the infrastructure may be experiencing to get the system back up as quickly as possible.

What does CORS offer?

This unique web client provides a broad gamut of capabilities and features. All of these attributes are dealt with carefully and tested thoroughly before distribution to guarantee the highest level of quality in our projects. The following are the main components of our sophisticated CORS package:

Each installation site owner can create individual user accounts, allowing the system administrator to delegate certain rights to specific users and groups with fine granularity of control.

The CORS interface runs on most modern browsers. There is no extra software to install. A manager or maintenance worker can access CORS from any computer system connected to the system’s network, or even from home with the use of virtual private networks (VPNs).

CORS utilizes Microsoft technology, a proven, reliable architecture used by most of the largest Fortune 500 companies.

CORS can be customized either by Compass Engineering’s software engineers, or by the on-site IT department. CORS is implemented using popular application software that many developers already have experience with.

Compass can provide source code to customers who meet specific conditions. The open source approach enables complete control over control system customization.

All data requests made by the client return up-to-the-second responses directly from the database controlling sortation.

Supported Technologies

Compass supports the use of Windows Server® as the application platform, and SQL Server® as the database management system for application data. The only requirement is an HTML5 compatible browser.

Previous versions of CORS have been built around different platforms such as Linux and QNX, but the industry standard has become a Microsoft Windows based solution. This product fits well within the typical customer environment and is easily maintained by the end user. Under most situations, CORS can operate in a Virtual Environment (VMWare) or a Microsoft Cluster. CORS is structured around Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) and is compatible with MSSQL 2008 / MSSQL 2008 / MSSQL 2008R2 / MSSQL 2012.

These various core functionalities are the cornerstones of our software package and ensure that you will be granted complete administrative authority over your system solutions.

CORS interfaces easily with virtually every commercially popular WMS brand, including, but not limited to:
  • Manhattan
  • High Jump
  • JDA
  • Oracle/Retek
  • SAP
  • Catalyst
  • EXE
  • Custom, home-grown and others
We use industry-proven human machine interface (HMI) solutions Wonderware® and FactoryTalk View® for supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) dashboards. This enables full, end-to-end views of all systems throughout an operation in real-time.
