Warehouse is a storage facility that receives goods and eventually distributes them to consumers or other businesses. Warehouse management is the process of coordinating the flows of receiving and putting away, making an inventory, sorting and picking, and finally, shipping goods to their proper destinations. Precise and effective warehouse management is the key to make the supply chain profitable. It requires that at every step, accurate information is recorded.
 
Chainway mobile computers transform paper-based data recording and manually inventory counting into automate electronic data capture and transmission. Based on Android system and integrated with 1D/2D barcode scanner, UHF/HF RFID reader, GPS positioning, clear camera, and 4G/3G/Wi-Fi wireless connectivity, those mobile computers increase accuracy and productivity when warehouse workers manage goods. Due to the real-time data transferring, you will have a more connected and smarter warehouse while enjoying an enhanced visibility into all uploaded information to speed up turnaround times and optimize replenishment plans. Later in shipping, Chainway telematics-based vehicle-mounted computers monitor drivers’ behaviors, fleet’s condition, and cargo status in real time to ensure on-road safety.
 
Warehouse Management
Warehouse operators can easily know the quantity and type of a bunch of received products by scanning their 1D/2D barcodes or RFID tags with Chainway mobile computers. Those data will be automatically sent to the warehouse’s backend server under 4G/3G or Wi-Fi connectivity. In put-away, Chainway mobile computers intelligently assign all products to their suitable storage slots. Pick path is also generated and transmitted to Chainway mobile terminals wirelessly so that workers can always pick the wanted products in the shortest time.
 
 
Shipping
Workers scan barcodes or RFID tags with Chainway mobile computers to confirm that pallets and parcels are being loaded on the right trailer. Every truck is equipped with a Chainway vehicle-mounted computer to perform a safe and efficient shipping. This vehicle computer has an OBD port to transmit the truck’s OBD data, GPS to locate the vehicle, multiple cameras to record drivers’ behavior and cargo’s condition, and 4G wireless connectivity to transfer all captured data to the backend platform in real time. Fleet administrators can have an enhanced visibility into this shipping.
