Deepsky vs Rologi Automation Suite

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.

Rologi Automation Suite (RAS) is a cloud platform for warehouse operations teams managing automation. It connects hardware from different vendors to business systems, with an API layer connecting to ERP, WMS, e-commerce, and TMS. Supported automation includes ASRS, AMR, AGV, shuttles, vertical lifts, and robotic picking. One adapter per technology supports multiple grids and warehouses from a single instance. RAS coordinates real-time tasks across automation types, including workload balancing, order batching, and route optimization. Listed workflows span guided inbound putaway, single- and multi-order picking, staging and buffering, expedition routing, cycle counting, and stock validation. Operator tools include workstation interfaces, stock allocation, performance monitoring, and real-time alerts. Dashboards cover utilization, availability, and throughput, alongside stock prediction and demand forecasting. The platform lists native support for scanners, cameras, and pick-by-light. Its native WMS layer is in development, though customers can connect an existing WMS through the integration hub. Rologi describes RAS as cloud-native, with automatic scaling and no on-premises infrastructure. Pricing is on request, with fees set out in an applicable order form.
