Kardex integration with stock_vlm_mgmt
Integration with Kardex VLMs
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0Adds Kardex as a supported vendor for Vertical Lift Modules in Odoo, so stock locations can be marked as Kardex devices and receive tray call commands over the network.
This module extends the existing VLM (Vertical Lift Module) management functionality so that Kardex-brand machines can be used as automated storage locations.
On a stock location, a new vendor option "Kardex" becomes available in the VLM vendor field. When a location is set to Kardex, Odoo uses a dedicated Kardex connector to talk to the machine.
The connector sends task messages to the Kardex device over a TCP network connection using the machine's own semicolon-separated message format. Supported task types are release, put, get and count, each mapped to a numeric operation code. Each message carries a task identifier, the device address, the tray (carrier), the position inside the tray, the quantity and up to four optional information fields that are shown to the operator on the machine screen.
The module reads the machine's reply and translates it into simple result codes: success, connection refused, timeout, unexpected or missing task identifier, and specific error codes for failed operations. When the request is a tray call, the response is deliberately ignored so the operation is not blocked waiting for the machine.
No new menus or screens are added; the feature appears inside the existing VLM configuration on stock locations and in the stock operations that use those locations.
