| How to Increase Warehouse Throughput with Automated RF Data Entry | | 03/01/03, Bitpipe | |
A radio frequency (RF) data capture solution can dramatically boost throughput in medical electronics distribution centers by increasing the speed and accuracy of information flow. At the warehouse floor level, RF terminals save time and avoid errors by allowing automatic scanning of products and bins. Inventory can be reduced while operating at higher levels of customer service because product information is updated on a real time basis. But a comprehensive technical project plan, strong project management structure, and a broad mix of technical skills are all required to ensure the best possible return on investment while minimizing disruption and expenses. Some of the areas that need to be considered include carefully defining the system requirements, ensuring RF coverage throughout the plant, interfacing to the ERP system, and providing user training. This article will outline the activities that are necessary to deliver a complete mobile data capture solution for a medical electronics distribution center. | |
