In their own words
Deepsky
Deepsky is a warehouse execution system from Exotec that links a warehouse management system to warehouse automation through one orchestration layer. It covers processes from receiving and storage to order preparation and dispatch. Using real-time information, it coordinates order release, replenishment, and picking, while planning around logistics constraints such as truck departure schedules. It identifies the contents and locations of bins, cases, and containers; dashboards show live KPIs, system status, and performance insights. Deepsky coordinates robots and operators and can prioritize actions. Exotec says it communicates with robots, conveyors, automated arms, scales, carton formers, and labelling machines regardless of communication protocol. It can aggregate real-time and historical data from Exotec robots and third-party suppliers, and supports multi-site management, API access, and simulation tools. Exotec describes it as workflow-based and says software updates continue after go-live. Its server is duplicated for backup, and the company offers 24/7 Control Center assistance and maintenance contracts. Pricing and availability are on request; the product page directs prospective customers to contact Exotec.
Onomatic
Onomatic’s ONO is a warehouse operations platform linking inventory, decision-making and task execution. Configurable workflows manage queues and allocate work to people, robots or mechanical systems. ONO Inventory tracks bin-level stock across personnel, automation and locations, and can trigger work requests when conditions change. ONO Execution dispatches coordinated tasks, guides operators through each step, and supplies mobile interfaces and dashboards. The platform describes two-way integrations with PLCs, ERPs, robotics, conveyors and warehouse management systems, plus direct interfaces for APIs, robots and other systems. Named ERP integrations include Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, NetSuite, Sage X3 and SAP. Processing runs in the cloud, while equipment communicates through an IoT device. Onomatic says it achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. Personal information is stored in a North American data centre with encryption in transit and at rest. Subscription service includes one-to-one support and regular user training. Pricing is on request.
