This white paper discusses key considerations when selecting mobility solutions, and unveils how mobility ¬enabled operations can improve freight trucking efficiency, reduce operating expenses, and boost customer satisfaction. Handheld computers, networking, and mobile thermal printers are proven productivity enhancers. When deployed to truck freight carriers, drivers quickly enter information into networked handheld computers, scan labels, or tag shipments.
Less time standing in line, or queuing, is a universal benefit that all customers understand and value. Modern mobile transaction systems provide a way for retailers, restaurants, hotels, transportation providers, special event organizers, and other service businesses to reduce queues without adding expensive checkout counters or staff. Automated queue-busting systems use mobile computers and printers to add speed, security, and professionalism to transaction processing operations.
Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management provides a flexible label-printing architecture through Oracle Business Intelligence, and the ZebraLink™ Enterprise Connector enables you to comply with your customer-labeling requirements. This white paper elaborates on the configuration of Oracle Retail Returns and Shelf Labeling standards using Zebra Technologies’ bar code printer products.
Global enterprises are looking for ways to reduce costs and improve efficiency and accuracy in their supply chains. To remain competitive, distribution centers, manufacturers, and short-haul and long-haul carriers must change the way they label and track goods. Success depends on maximizing efficiency throughout all supply chain operations—front to back. Exploiting mobile labeling technology is fundamental to achieving optimal efficiency.
This paper shows how bar code and RFID can be applied to streamline many common asset management procedures and includes worksheets to help calculate the business impact and ROI that improved asset management can provide.
Too often, Aerospace and Defense operations are forced to move equipment to central locations for maintenance and repair, delaying usage and increasing the risk of accidents. Lack of centralized data about equipment, such as historical information, forces managers to make decisions on capital investments with only partial information.All of this takes away from team productivity and mission effectiveness. Yet, innovative technology now makes it possible to automate tracking of flight-line equipment.
Manufacturing companies have been using bar coding in shipping and receiving operations for more than 30 years.
Most contemporary manufacturers operate in a world in which change is the only constant. Customer demand changes weekly, commodity prices fluctuate daily, and an unforeseen global financial crisis forces previously dependable suppliers out of business with little or no notice. In this environment, simply running a lean operation is not sufficient. In the current business climate, manufacturers need to take lean principles a step further. They must build a level of flexibility into their lean processes, providing the ability to respond quickly—and appropriately— to constantly changing business conditions without ratcheting up operating costs.
Businesses in a wide range of industries are realizing significant benefits from radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. The return on investment (ROI) for RFID comes from reducing the time and labor required to track assets and materials, decreased losses and theft, improved maintenance operations, and streamlined efficiency through better asset availability and utilization. Many of these benefits occur in applications that do not directly require participation from suppliers and customers, and reside outside the external supply chain.
In Aerospace and Defense environments, the longer work stays in process, the longer the field has to wait for necessary equipment. Tracking Work in Process (WIP) is critical, yet the traditional way is challenging – managing it manually with clipboards and spreadsheets. This approach severely limits visibility into the status of WIP, and slows down the delivery of the equipment to the field.
