Retail

Getting the right product to the right store at the right time is critical in retail warehouse operations. That's why it's important to have flexible tools in place that can easily match the flow of inventory with changing consumer demands. Intermec's products are known in the industry for their ruggedness, giving retailers the assurance that they can depend upon these critical systems and that they will last for years, giving retailers the best return on their investment.

Using Intermec mobile handheld computers, printers and partner applications, warehouse workers will have the adaptable tools they need to run an effective supply chain. To help optimize the order picking and staging process, the Intermec CK3 mobile computer is used in a wide variety of warehouse applications such as voice-directed picking, pick-to-light, near far scanning and wireless printing.

A lot of time can be spent reading picking slips and searching for products. New technologies such as voice directed picking and pick-to-light systems can help speed up the picking process. With voice-directed picking, users no longer have to use their hands to key in information – instead, they are freed up to just do the picking. Pick-to-light systems combine light-directed picking and putting with integrated voice commands and Bluetooth bar-code scanning, which results in greater accuracy and productivity.

With the Intermec CK3, users can quickly scan any type of bar code, in any orientation, from six inches to 50 feet away, even through shrink wrap – opening up new efficiencies across the warehouse. Intermec's reliable line of bar-code printers are designed to provide companies with maximum uptime. And with mobile printers, companies have the convenience and increased productivity and accuracy of printing labels, tags and receipts on demand, where and when they're needed, via Bluetooth® and WiFi WLAN connectivity.
