What are the data security measures of China's ASRS?

In an automated storage and retrieval system, data security is just as important as equipment performance.

An ASRS system does not only move goods. It also manages inventory data, storage locations, inbound and outbound tasks, equipment status, order information, batch records, and interfaces with ERP, MES, TMS, or other enterprise systems.

If this data is not properly protected, it may lead to inventory errors, operational interruptions, information leakage, or even system downtime.

That is why data security has become a key factor when choosing a China ASRS supplier.

Why Data Security Matters in ASRS

A modern ASRS relies on WMS and WCS software to control the full warehouse process.

The WMS manages warehouse business logic, including inventory, orders, locations, batches, and task rules. The WCS controls equipment execution, such as shuttle robots, stacker cranes, conveyors, lifters, and AGVs.

Once these systems are connected with customer enterprise platforms, data security becomes critical.

A secure ASRS system should protect:

• Inventory and SKU data
• Customer order information
• Storage location data
• Equipment operation data
• ERP/MES/TMS interface data
• User permissions and operation records
• System configuration and process logic

For manufacturers, logistics companies, pharmaceutical warehouses, food companies, and e-commerce fulfillment centers, secure data management helps ensure stable daily operations.

DELIECN Self-Developed WMS/WCS/API for Secure Deployment

DELIECN provides self-developed WMS / WCS/API, which can be fully deployed inside the customer's own system environment.

This means the customer does not need to rely on external public platforms for core warehouse data. The software can be installed on the customer's local server, private cloud, or designated IT infrastructure according to project requirements.

This deployment model helps customers achieve:

• Better control over warehouse data
• Lower risk of external data exposure
• Easier integration with internal ERP/MES systems
• Higher flexibility for customized security policies
• Better compliance with internal IT management requirements

In addition, DELIECN has passed the CMMI 5 certification, which reflects a high level of software development process maturity, quality management, and continuous improvement capability. For customers, this means DELIECN's WMS/WCS software is not only customizable and securely deployable, but also supported by a mature software development and quality control system.

For customers with strict data protection and software reliability requirements, DELIECN's self-developed WMS/WCS provides a safer and more controllable foundation for ASRS operation.

Common Data Security Measures in ASRS Software

1. User Permission Management

A secure WMS/WCS system should support role-based access control.

Different users can be assigned different permissions based on job responsibility. For example, warehouse operators, supervisors, maintenance engineers, IT administrators, and managers should not have the same access level.

This helps prevent unauthorized operation and reduces the risk of human error.

2. Data Encryption

Software encryption is one of the most common methods for protecting warehouse system data.

In ASRS projects, encryption can be applied to:

• Data transmission
• Database storage
• Interface communication
• User login information
• Important configuration files

Common encryption technologies include SSL/TLS communication encryption, database encryption, password hashing, and encrypted API transmission.

These methods help protect sensitive data during storage and communication.

3. API Authentication and Interface Protection

ASRS software often needs to exchange data with ERP, MES, TMS, OMS, or other enterprise systems. Therefore, interface security is a key part of ASRS data protection.

DELIECN independently develops its own API interface system, allowing customers to build secure and customized data connections based on actual warehouse processes.

Common protection measures include:

• API authentication
• Access token control
• Interface signature verification
• Data transmission encryption
• IP whitelist management
• Permission-based interface access
• Interface operation logs

These measures help ensure that only authorized systems can exchange data with the ASRS, reducing the risk of unauthorized access, data leakage, or abnormal system calls.

4. Network Isolation and Private Deployment

For customers with higher security requirements, ASRS software can be deployed in an isolated internal network.

By using firewalls, VPNs, private network access, and internal server deployment, the system can reduce exposure to external network risks.

DELIECN can support customized deployment based on the customer's IT environment, helping balance system connectivity and data protection.

5. Operation Logs and Audit Records

A reliable ASRS system should record key system operations.

Audit logs can track:

• User login records
• Inventory adjustments
• Task creation and cancellation
• Equipment operation commands
• Interface data exchange
• Abnormal system events

These records help customers trace problems, improve accountability, and strengthen warehouse management.

6. Data Backup and Recovery

Data backup is essential for system continuity.

A secure WMS/WCS system should support regular database backup, important file backup, and recovery mechanisms. If system failure, server damage, or abnormal operation occurs, backup data can help restore warehouse operations more quickly.

This is especially important for warehouses that run 24/7 or handle high-value goods.

Customized Security for Different Warehouse Scenarios

Different industries have different data security requirements.

For example:

• Pharmaceutical warehouses may focus on batch traceability and compliance records
• Food warehouses may require production date and FIFO control
• Manufacturing warehouses may need ERP/MES integration security
• E-commerce warehouses may focus on order and inventory data protection
• New energy warehouses may require stricter process and material traceability

DELIECN's self-developed WMS/WCS can be customized according to customer business processes, while maintaining secure deployment and data protection mechanisms.

This combination of customization and security is important for customers who need both operational flexibility and strong data control.
