Dimensioning systems<\/b><\/p>\n
Sizing pallets and boxes can take a long time, not to mention the risk of errors if measurements are taken manually and then entered into the WMS.<\/p>\n
This is why choosing an automated sizing system can make a difference, considerably reducing measurement time and making it easier to enter data into the WMS<\/b>, resulting in increased productivity <\/b>and reduced errors<\/b>. In addition, some of these systems can take high-definition images of the measured pallet or box to provide the customer with visual proof of the shipment status of their order, all within seconds<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Mobile devices<\/b><\/p>\n
In most warehouses, many of the movements of operators are linked to the need to print labels or enter data into the computer.<\/p>\n
The mobile technology<\/b> applied to portable computers and portable printers and wearable barcode scanners allows staff to have immediate access to the various systems in every point in the warehouse<\/b>, with considerable time savings in daily operations<\/b>.<\/p>\n
WMS<\/b><\/p>\n
The technologies described above prove effective when applied together with the use of a WMS (a warehouse management system), which allows these tools to be integrated into an all-inclusive system that increases the functionality of each individual system<\/b>.<\/p>\n
A good WMS should be mobile friendly<\/b>, so as to guarantee a simple use and updating from any device, easy to integrate with the equipment in the warehouse<\/b> and above all workflow and process-oriented, i.e. able to clearly define which processes need to be improved and report any critical issues, so as to facilitate the global optimization of the logistics area.<\/p>\n
