Modernisation and Digital Transformation
Warehouse managers must allocate resources to adopt mobile technologies that sustain competitiveness and meet the demands of the contemporary market. While modernising warehouse operations entails a substantial investment, it is a prudent endeavour that will yield long-term benefits. By embracing mobile technologies, businesses can enhance productivity, minimise errors, and heighten customer satisfaction levels. These investments cover both software and hardware, with the latest developments in hardware being easier to adopt as in-place upgrades.
Digital transformation can help warehouses to improve in a number of key areas, including:
- Productivity: Automate tasks, improve real-time visibility, and empower workers to significant increases in productivity.
- Accuracy: Reduce errors in picking, packing, and shipping improving customer satisfaction and reducing costs.
- Agility: Adapt to changing demand patterns and disruptions allowing a competitive advantage.
- Sustainability: Reduce the environmental impact to optimise energy consumption and reduce waste.
Gain Real-Time Visibility Into Inventory
Avoiding human error and ensuring accurate inventory management is crucial for businesses. By incorporating rugged long-range mobile scanners that can wirelessly communicate with the inventory system, real-time stock updates are possible. This enables warehouses to maintain up-to-date inventory counts, improving order scheduling and providing warehouse managers with real-time visibility for effective decision-making.
Optimise Order Picking
Warehouses strive to improve efficiency to reduce cost and shorten turnaround time. The largest component of readying an order for fulfilment is the picking process. Introducing mobility and barcode scanners can rapidly improve productivity by up to 20%. Gain extra competitive advantage through freeing up picker and packer hands by rolling out wearable devices to complete their tasks easier, quicker, and with fewer errors.
Increased Order Accuracy
Pick errors in UK warehouses typically range from 1-3%. For businesses that handle around 250 orders per day, with an average of 1.5 items per order. Considering that an additional 23% of orders are returned due to inaccurate packing, the impact on timely accurate deliveries has a massive effect on customer satisfaction, but future orders as well. Improve the accuracy of picking and packing by introducing smart barcode scanners that are built for purpose.
More efficient space utilisation
The time it takes to travel between picking and packing an order has a compound effect on not only efficiency but cost. This turnaround time can comprise as much as 50% of the picking process. Tracking inventory and scan movement can help streamline stock locations for better movement, while keeping stock holdings to minimum for optimised space utilisation.
