Handheld Scanner Big Efficiency To Warehouse Management

The handheld scanner is increasing the efficiency of warehouse management now.

In July 2015, a Rakinda survey of hundreds of 263 distribution center IT decision makers at companies with at least 500 employees across the U.S., U.K., Germany and France showed that 87 percent of U.S. respondents plan to adopt voice direction — using wireless headsets to direct warehouse workers with voice commands — within the next five years. That figure was at 94 percent for Germany, 82 percent in the U.K. and 78 percent in France.so with the development of technology, many brands barcode scanner is widely used for warehouse application.

Manufacturers have begun to take note that scanning technology is no longer simply a technology that will drive cost reductions. In fact, cost reductions are no longer the driver of this technology. Many manufacturers have begun implementations to improve accuracy of inventory and to resolve space issues in their warehouses and facilities. When you can integrate barcode reader and Warehouse Management Systems, you can achieve better accountability and visibility to workers on the floor. Additionally, some businesses now offer employee performance incentives as a way to retain their workforce. With voice technology, these businesses are able to access analytics that quantify incentives easier and more accurately.

The key to improve efficiency is to take the decision out of the user’s hands. 60 percent of worker time is spent traveling throughout the warehouse floor. barcode technology can reduce the time that the worker uses to pick by giving them the most efficient path through scanning -directed workflows If organizations are looking for cluster or batch picking (and their WMS supports the functionality), scanning technology immediately reduces the amount of travel time needed and improves overall workflow processes.

Scanning technology is extremely effective when it comes to safety as it inherently removes the need to use your eyes to look at a handheld scanner. Removing this need ensures workers’ heads are up and their eyes and hands are free — workers’ eyes are focused on the task at hand and not distracted by looking at a screen or handling the scanner. Organizations are now also using barcode modules tech integrated with apparel called “scanner”. scanner removes the need for a headset and eliminates another distraction for workers. Think of this as Hands-free, eyes-free and headset-free. The optimum solution in worker efficiency and worker safety.
