Research of Cloud-Native AS/RS Warehouse Management and Control Platform Architecture

Since the invention of cloud computing technologies, the term "cloud-native" has been used. In recent years, research into cloud-native technology has grown along with the development of cloud computing technology. One of the most popular software architectures of our time, cloud-native architecture integrates cloud-native technology to conventional distributed architectures and aligns with the characteristics of modern cloud usage. This article examines the history of cloudnative technologies, warehouse information systems, and pertinent literature. It suggests a three-tier design for a Cloud-Native Warehouse Management and Control Platform (CWMCP), combining the traits of automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). The study examines the functioning of the data layer, service layer, and application layer as well as their logical relationships and discusses each layer's specific design, deployment, and features in detail. Based on operational requirements of AS/RS warehouses, we developed a business analysis framework integrating algorithms, and created a prototype cloud-native warehouse management system (CWMS). We then analyzed the platform's advanced architecture and verified its effectiveness. CWMCP is in high demand and a promising trend for enabling digital and intelligent transformation of AS/RS systems.
