Freeing the workforce from PCs
June 1st 2008 Misco specialises in online
sales of IT solutions, and
recently decided to upgrade
its warehouse management
system, with the help of
Spirit Data
Capture. "We had
been using PCs
and printers to
carry out our
warehouse
management,"
explains Clark
Wainwright, the
company's MIS
administrator,
"and decided we
needed a solution that
would free our workforce
from PCs and the associated
paperwork.
"We wanted them to have
more time to focus on key
business activities. We also
wanted to put additional
warehouse checks into
place. As UPC/EAN codes
now play a significant role in
warehouse operations, using
these had also become a
priority for us."
Spirit proposed the
development of a complete
wireless infrastructure for
the warehouse with
Motorola MC9090 mobile
computers, to streamline the
company's 'pick and pack'
operations. The large
warehouse required an 18m
high scissor lift for the
wireless backbone
installation – enabling the
whole site to be covered by
just seven access points.
"Spirit have helped us at
every stage of the process,"
says Clark. "They have found
solutions to our problems
and have always made
themselves readily available
to answer any questions,
dealing with our queries
with patience and expertise." More articles from Spirit Data Capture: |
