Warehouse operations need to have the efficient tracking and
movement of components, raw materials, and finished goods. These operations can
be directed from the receiving dock to
the shipping dock that has become more complicated. It happens due to a lean
manufacturing, close-cut processes and the considerable
growth of outsourcing for crucial
components utilized in manufacturing units. In the production cycle, inaccurate or misplaced tagging of received components and materials can create serious
interruptions.
For addressing these issues, warehouses rely on automated
processes. Today, workers use rugged mobile label printer solution instead of recording everything by hand at shipping
receiving docks. With this printer, they can easily communicate with their
materials management or ERP systems in real-time to create the paper labels
that are needed for accurate barcode
put-away, sorting, cross-docking, packing, picking, RMA labeling and shipping.
There are two ways by which barcoded labels can be produced. Let’s discuss –
At small and mid-sized warehouses, data is often communicated to the ERP through handhelds. The label printing data is then sent to centrally
located label printers (fixed-position) connected to the ERP system. From there, workers pick up the required labels from the printers and
return to affix them as needed. But, this can waste time and higher chances of making errors when they (workers) labeling the goods. Make your warehouse
operations wireless through WLAN to link workers’ handheld devices with mobile
label printers and the warehouse ERP system. These mobile label printers can be
easily mounted on equipment or even carried on belt clips.
With these printers, labels can be generated on the spot from anywhere that
saves time and create greater efficiencies. Wish A POS offers cost-effective mobile label printer solution for the
wireless warehouse as well as for smaller warehouse operations. Using BIXOLON SPP-R200II and Honeywell PB50, either of them can be preferred
to centralize your warehouse operations,
if they prefer centralized label
generation.
