Combine effect of hardware and technologies
Receiving – common practice for warehouse
operation is to print a batch of label for incoming goods
at a central IT office after receiving an ASN(Advance ship
notice) from a supplier.The labels are stored in the office
and retrieved by receiving worker when the shippment
arrives. This is very time consuming process and also
possibility of incorrect label attachment of shippment.
mobile printer productivity gains and
accuracy improvement by eliminating this manual trip
round process. Worker can use forklift mounted mobile
printers to apply barcode and RFID labels on incoming
materials immediately as thy are unloaded from the
receiving dock.
