Inventory Tracking
There is a scenario where a delivery truck is loaded with boxes that need to be removed and put away in the right slot of the warehouse. Without RFID or barcode, physical inventory counts are not only labor-intensive, but also inaccurate.
If you label a chip or barcode to boxes you want to track, in the very beginning of logistics, an up-to-date and detailed list of exactly what has been put on and removed from the truck can be created by Chainway RFID/barcode mobile computer. The same applies to the warehouse. Workers take this scanner over the rugs to get instant and accurate count of their inventory. This allows the logistics company to know in real-time exactly what it the inventory level of their warehouse and how much space is available for new deliveries. This way can boost the supply chain efficiency.
Field Mobility
The health of your logistics facility impacts directly to the smooth of your logistics management. Mobile computers with data capture functionalities (1D/2D barcode, LF/HF/UHF RFID, camera, GPS) and wireless connectivity (4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS) enable filed workers to access every piece of data they need in the field, and capture new data in real time sending back to the office for you and other logistics managers.
Stay linked to key resources at all times, both field workers and you, the administrators of logistics company, can do more in higher efficiency with less time or labor costs. The gains in productivity open up the possibilities of more intelligent field mobility. With a hand held mobile computer you can empower your workforce to accomplish any task in the field with real-time visibility back to your office.
Transportation
Transportation means far more than an on-time delivery. It also covers the meaning of sending the accurate parcels to the intended person or department. With mobile computers to capture every transportation step, you can track when and where a package arrived and delivered, and who confirmed the pickup or deliveries. A chain of accountability and confirmations ensures your deliveries arrive on time, every time.
Your people are of the same importance as your cargo. If your fleet is equipped with a telematics vehicle tablet, you can always get informed of your drivers’ driving behavior, your vehicle’s OBD data and live location. Also you will be able to monitor the cargo’s condition if you connect the vehicle tablet to cameras or any monitoring sensors via USB.
