Virtually all cold storage warehouses, and particularly
those that also specialize in deep freezer storage, tend to face a really high number
of operational challenges while working in such harsh environments. Here, the
core challenge is to maintain fairly consistent temperatures even as the
various frozen products move in and out of the storage area. Apart from that,
such warehouses also have to contend with, energy use, and also the myriad
complexities of storing goods that must always be maintained at variable
temperatures, all the time.
o Keeping mobile devices operational in low
temperature conditions
Another important challenge is the necessity of keeping mobile
computers operational even in extremely cold temperatures. Condensation, cold
air, and frost are both capable of quickly rendering most standard mobile
device completely useless. The usual solution of using insulation in the cold
storage area has one significant problem.
It degrades wireless signals to a great extent and it is
also very difficult to label goodsreliably enough. This is why a cold storage
device,tailor made for use in freezers and other extremely cold environments can
help most such warehouses both maintain as well as increase productivity, quite
substantially indeed.
This is the part where Zebra comes into the picture, with
its state of the art cold chain management devices. Operating in extreme
temperature conditions brings with it, very own set of requirementswith
reference to functioninginchillers, coolers, refrigerators, as well as freezers.
Here certain devices are required that are both rugged and specialized enough
to get the job properly.
Zebra’s freezer compliant devices have been engineered to provide
highly reliable operation, irrespective of the extremely dramatic temperature
swings. This also makes the entire supply chain considerably more efficient and
also helps protects then end customers from receiving spoilt products.
o Streamlining cold storage handling procedures
Thanks to Zebra’s innovative cold storage products, it is
now quite possible to fulfill far more orders per day along with improved
safety and comfort, while simultaneously handling multiple cold storage cases
and containers with the help of hands free technology.
o An opportunity to increase both productivityas
well as accuracy
These products have been designed in such a way that the
operator can both quickly and efficiently enter the required data, even when
using gloved hands. He can do this, thanks to the large keys as well as an
ergonomically designed ‘easy to use’ touchscreen system, that is present on
many such Zebra handheld mobile computing devices.
o Reduce errors safely and easily
These devices can also help with the alleviation of many common
problems that are associated with many ‘off the shelf’ mobile devices available
today. Such problems include condensation and fogging of the screen, irregularities
of data while moving between coolers and freezers etc.
With the help of the right Zebra device, you can be sure
that your cold storage facility will be able to move evermore quantities of
goods, safely, securely and accurately.
