CBQA Solutions Powers Warehouse Evolution with Next-Gen AWS Architecture

Published: 01/12/2023

In a world increasingly reliant on digital transactions, the security of those transactions is more important than ever. The government is adopting digital identity solutions to provide citizens with secure and convenient access to government services. However, implementing a secure and effective digital identity solution can be challenging. Governments must address a range of factors, such as the authenticity of identity documents, the security of personal data, and the ability to scale the solution as the number of users grows.

Scanley is a cloud-based digital identity solution that addresses these challenges The Scanley solution uses a combination of Amazon Web Services (AWS) technologies to provide a secure, scalable, and accurate solution.

The architecture

The solution is built on a cloud-native architecture that uses a variety of AWS services to provide a scalable, reliable, and secure solution. The following diagram shows the overall architecture of the solution:

The architecture is divided into three main layers:

The backend layer: Provides the foundation for the solution. It includes services such as Amazon Aurora, Amazon Cognito, and AWS Lambda
The middle layer: Provides the core functionality of the solution. It includes services such as Amazon API Gateway, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon S3.
The frontend layer Provides the user interface for the solution. It includes services such as Amazon Cognito, Amazon AppSync, and Amazon Amplify.

The backend layer

The backend layer of the architecture provides the foundation for the solution. It includes the following services: Amazon Aurora is a fully-managed relational database service that provides a scalable, reliable, and secure database for the solution. Amazon Cognito is an identity and access management service that provides secure access to the solution. AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service that provides a scalable and cost-effective way to run code without provisioning or managing servers.

The middle layer

The middle layer of the architecture provides the core functionality of the solution. It includes the following services: Amazon API Gateway is a fully-managed API gateway that provides a secure and scalable way to expose APIs to the frontend layer. Amazon DynamoDB is a fully-managed NoSQL database that provides a scalable and performant data store for the solution. Amazon S3 is a fully-managed object storage service that provides a scalable and durable data store for the solution.

The frontend layer

The frontend layer of the architecture provides the user interface for the solution. It includes the following services: Amazon Cognito is used to authenticate and authorize users. Amazon AppSync is a fully-managed GraphQL API service that provides a scalable and performant way to interact with the backend layer. Amazon Amplify is a set of tools and services that make it easy to build and deploy mobile and web applications.

How architecture works

The solution works by using the following process:

A user in the warehouse creates a work order.
The work order is sent to the backend layer.
The backend layer validates the work order and generates a picking list.
The picking list is sent to the frontend layer.
The frontend layer displays the picking list to the operator.
The operator uses the picking list to pick the required items from the warehouse.
The operator scans the barcodes of the picked items.
The scanned data is sent to the backend layer.
The backend layer updates the status of the work order.

Benefits of the architectureThe Scanley architecture offers a range of advantages, seamlessly integrating scalability, reliability, and security. Designed to accommodate the expanding requirements of businesses, the architecture ensures scalability. It is crafted to maintain reliability and availability, even in the face of potential failures. Additionally, the architecture prioritizes security, aiming to safeguard sensitive data effectively.

Conclusion

In the convergence of technology and logistics, CBQA's collaboration with a Mexican beverage company has spearheaded a revolutionary evolution in the "picking" process. The journey, marked by improved efficiency and cutting-edge technologies, sets the stage for continuous enhancement. As we embrace the future, CBQA remains committed to leading the frontier of innovation, anticipating a future of exceptional logistics.
