Applications
Getting products to their destination is the easy part. Getting the right ones there at the right time takes meticulous monitoring and tracking of countless packages, cartons, cases, and pallets constantly moving into and out of trucks, trains, and airplanes. But AIDC and wireless, remote access to massive logistics databases simplify the tasks necessary to complete deliveries on time.
At the loading docks, CipherLab mobile computers with Bluetooth® and wireless LAN technologies put powerful logistics and transportation applications in the hands of goods handlers, forklift drivers, and managers. Each time a carton is scanned, the mobile computer connects to remote servers and updates corporate databases with accurate information about goods movement. With a range of laser scanning distances possible in a CipherLab mobile computer, goods can be scanned near and far, making it easy to quickly find and load the right products to get them on their way. And, with RFID interrogation built into CipherLab mobile computers, companies are ready to take advantage of this new technology - whether today or in the future - accelerating the data capture process.
For drivers, wireless WAN (GSM/GPRS) technology in CipherLab mobile computers gives them remote access to databases on the road. They can quickly find the goods located in their trucks and remotely update delivery status as they drop them off. This keeps managers and customers informed up to the minute of the status of deliveries. CipherLab mobile computers with signature capture and Bluetooth® technology add the ability to print acceptance receipts and delivery records on site for a clear paper trail of the driver's activities and good's transport.
