Auto ID & Data Capture

Google Glass is Google’s project to create augmented reality glasses. Google Glass is being designed for consumers, but the first clear business application may occur in warehouses.

At Lanter Delivery Systems, customers don’t have time to wait for standard shipping. They need reliable pre-8am, next day delivery. And, they need to know the shipment is on its way and when it will arrive; because every minute counts. Lanter requires the best in shipment management, end-to-end tracking, and reporting. From day one, Supply Chain has been by their side.

While automated data collection (ADC) solutions are not new, they are evolving with the automatic identification (AutoID) technology and enterprise technologies to provide more timely and accurate data; but, more importantly, more robust data.

If you need a data collection solution that delivers value and is scalable to grow with your company, depend on Supply Chain Services to deliver solutions that work … just like they are supposed to.

Solidifying Honeywell’s position as the leader in vehicle-mount computing, the Thor VM2 builds on the best-in-class Thor VM1 that was created specifically to address the unique challenges of supply chain applications. Comparatively equipped to reduce operator downtime and capital investment, the Thor VM2 leverages the same platform and innovative features as the well-known Thor VM1 vehicle-mount computer.

Remote MasterMind 3.0 Mobile Device & Bar Code Scanner Management Solution. Remote MasterMind™ is Honeywell’s comprehensive solution for companies looking to secure, manage, update, and remotely troubleshoot their mobile computers and bar code scanners from a single location.

Honeywell announced the Thor VM2, its tenth generation vehicle-mount computer (VMC) that provides the mobile workforce with unprecedented flexibility and productivity. Featuring a larger 9.7 inch XGA display screen, the Thor VM2 builds off the successful Thor VM1, utilizing breakthrough mobile technology to create immediate time savings and protection against unplanned disruptions in the supply chain.

For years, as the demand for Standard Logística’s services increased, the previous storage control technology was not capable of functioning properly at temperatures from -25°C to -30°C. The previous model used by the company frequently caused technical difficulties, which required moving the machines to another sector for maintenance or for software updates.

It's been a few weeks since Honeywell announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Intermec. While this continues to be subject to regulatory approvals, in this blog post I share some thoughts on how this deal may shape up and impact the barcode vendor landscape. Intermec is an active participant in two barcode technology hardware markets – Barcode Printers and Handheld Barcode Scanners.

Think about all of the paperless technology you have come to rely on in your personal life which dramatically improves efficiency, but has never been applied to operations in cyclic applications at your workplace… we enable real savings in the enterprise by applying our leading technology in e-paper, mobility integration and RFID combined with domain knowledge coded into integrated software solutions.

Intermec introduces the first tag motion software toolkit in a standardized reporting format. Intermec Advanced RFID Extensions (ARX) effectively identifies RFID tags of interest and discriminates surrounding tags, providing customers and software integrators the tools to essentially eliminate false-positive reporting of tags.

American Apparel was looking for a smarter way to meet their goals and, from what they had learned, item-level RFID looked like precisely the solution they wanted. Given the control the company has over its own manufacturing, distribution and retail operations, the plan was to reap the benefits of RFID not only on the retail floor, but throughout its closed loop supply chain.

Item-level RFID is becoming a competitive differentiator for several leading companies in the retail supply chain. Chain-wide rollouts by a number of North America’s largest clothing retailers are a clear sign that this technology will soon be broadly adopted by the industry.
