From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the followingquote: “Electronic commerce (e-commerce) has changed the w ay customers purchase items. As ecommercecontinues to grow at a significant pa ce overtaking conventional brick and mortar retail practices,many businesses ar e facing notable challenges of maintaining relevance in an online marketplace an dcompeting with prominent players in the space. Modern storage facilities handl e a large number of inventoryitems on a daily basis. Examples of such inventory items may include groceries, apparels, electronics, orthe like. Such storage f acilities typically receive a very high volume of items that needs to be processed for various purposes such as stocking, replenishment, fulfillment, or the lik e. Handling each inventoryitem in the storage facility may involve a few define d processes that may be same or different for differenttypes of items. Executio n of such defined processes requires different robotic devices to be used, whereeach robotic device must communicate with a control server for performing the p rocesses. The storagefacility onboards robotic devices from various vendors to maximize the scalability of the storage facility.The control server supports a specific protocol scheme and a message scheme that may be different fromthe pro tocol schemes and the message schemes supported by the robotic devices. Further, the roboticdevices in the storage facility may support protocol and message sc hemes that are different from eachother. Thus, facilitating communication betwe en the control server and the robotic devices is a challengingtask.
