Morrisons shops for it support
March 1st 2010 Zetes has been awarded a
contract from Morrisons
supermarkets to provide a
wireless IT infrastructure
solution for five of its UK
manufacturing facilities.
The contract, which
includes design,
implementation and support
of a Cisco wireless
infrastructure with mobile
devices valued at over £1.5m,
is being deployed in
partnership with Computacenter
and is an important element of
Morrisons' ongoing investment into
upgrading IT capabilities across the
organisation.
The wireless network will enable
Morrisons' predominantly paperbased
processes and information
systems to become more accurate
and automated, paving the way for
future operational improvements.
Morrisons has already invested
£6m in a project with Zetes to
introduce voice directed picking into
all its warehouses. The latest project
will enable its manufacturing centres
to benefit from real time information
once the company's Oracle eBiz ERP
system is introduced.
Zetes supplied professional services
consultancy to design the Cisco
wireless network and oversee
implementation. The company is
also supplying and supporting all the
mobile devices required within
Morrisons' manufacturing estate
including advanced handheld
terminals with keyboards specially
customised for Morrisons, Zetes'
own IND 2475 truck mounted
terminals, extended range scanners
and label printers. More articles from Zetes Ltd: |
