DLog scores for Umbro
January 1st 2011 Following the move from an inhouse
ERP system to SAP, sponsor
and official kit supplier of the
England national football team,
Umbro, uses
ruggedised
vehicle
computer
terminals from
DLog for its
warehouse
operation.
Recalling the
move, desk top
support
analyst, Andy
Scholes, says: 'One of the few issues
was the truck mounted computers
used for stocking and picking
information. To scan products using
the new SAP software on the old
truck mount PCs took around 5
seconds per item. So, for the average
items moved daily we worked it out
as roughly an hour a day lost for
each truck driver doing the same
volume of work."
SAP recommended DLoG's
hardware based on the positive
experience of
another
customer
faced with
similar
problems.
Umbro
didn't want to
take any
chances with
the
performance
of the PC units, so Andy Scholes
selected the fastest specification
available. "The MCP6 device was far
ahead of anything else offered with a
1.6GHz dual-core processor, I
couldn't find anything that even
came close," he says. More articles from DLoG (UK) Ltd: |
