How Can Mobile Printers Improve Warehousing Efficiencies?

Looking for ways to optimize your supply chain processes and warehouse distribution networks? Integrated mobile printing systems are exactly where to start. Studies show that mobile printing devices and software can improve production levels by at least 20%1. By reducing workers efforts and the time spent printing labels and applying them to materials, mobile printers provide the following benefits:

• lower labor costs
• lower operational costs
• faster return on investment
• improved overall performance and accuracy levels

The key is to decentralize and move away from the centralized workstation layouts. Providing workers with access to their own mobile printing devices conveniently located near or with the worker, at the point-of-use. This frees up the worker empowering them to utilize the technology when they require the functionality. So, simply put, they don’t have to spend extra time going to other areas to access the equipment and retrieve labels. They are able to do it all right there – scan, print, apply.

Removing the labor-intensity of the tasks reduces many mistakes and inefficiencies within the process. It speeds up the time of task completion, improves worker compliance and reduces potential labeling errors.

These efficiencies are seen in all areas and aspects of warehousing from receiving, cross-dock, inventory, picking, packing and shipping.
