Mobile computers are a key component in improving warehouse operations, due to their ability to streamline processes, increase accuracy and improve efficiency.
Transport and logistic firms are gaining better results than ever before. However, as warehouses continue to grow in size, so does the need for suitable devices.
Here are some of the key benefits of mobile computers, and what to look out for when purchasing the right devices for your business:
- Accuracy
Mobile computers can scan barcodes and QR codes, while seamlessly providing accurate data.
Barcode and RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology tracks and manages inventory, so you can ensure the right products are delivered to the correct location.
The Memor 11 has superior scanning performance and is equipped with a high-quality scanner, which allows users to capture data quickly and accurately- even in low light conditions.
However, the Skorpio X5 can read barcodes in the blink of an eye from a range of distances. It also has a Mid-Range imager and a 2D Extra-Long-Range imager, so workers can read any barcode, in a variety of conditions. This can lead to a reduction in error and mistakes.
- Robust
The best mobile computers on the market are durable, versatile, lightweight and easy-to-use.
The Skorpio X5 has the largest, brightest and most rugged Gorilla Glass screen display in the market, with a large 4.3-inch screen.
It is also strengthened by additional bumpers and a specifically designed rubber boot, so it can withstand multiple drops up to 1.8m onto concrete.
Many mobile computers also come with bespoke fittings to keep them visible and secure in a moving vehicle, or are designed to be able to use in a range of environments.
The Skorpio X5 offers the choice between two convertible form factors, three scan engines, three keyboard layouts and much more – so you have a tailored solution to sort your needs.
If you are looking for a sleek, compact, and durable design, the Memor 11 is a great solution.
It has been proven to withstand more drops than comparable devices on the market and is an ideal choice for environments where durability is essential.
- Productivity
Due to the demands of modern supply chain, mobile computers have been designed to execute multiple jobs while using the most demanding applications.
The Memor 11 can allow multiple applications to run simultaneously, without comprising performance. You can also easily switch between applications without lag.
With Datalogic, employees can work seamlessly and with maximum productivity.
- Reliability
Many mobile computers have power management capabilities, which enables them to remain charged throughout a shift.
The Skorpio X5 comes with hot swappable battery technology and state-of-the-art charging and battery management, making the device suitable for those long-haul shifts.
However, the Memor 11 comes equipped with advanced battery management and wireless charging features. Users can easily swap out the battery, without having to turn off the device.
Users can also customise the battery profile in the Memor 11 to extend battery life by up to 20%, perfect for operators who rely on their devices.
- Speed
Users can capture a wide variety of data much faster, compared to manual data collection.
Mobile computers are always handy and easily accessible, so you can perform transactions on the go without any delays. Once this data is collected, it can be uploaded into warehouse management or an enterprise system.
You can carry out tasks efficiently and quickly with the Memor 11, with its high-end 2D scan engine. At ExPD, our range of Datalogic products are the best solution for applications that require high-speed scanning.
