Hardware and Equipment

Choosing hardware as part of WMS is conditioned by logistical processes and goals aimed at managing the movement of goods and materials. After a detailed analysis and defining procedures and processes, our team will recommend suitable hardware that meets all your needs.

Handheld mobile computers are by far the most common solution applied in logistics. Mobile computers integrated with WMS are a perfect solution for increasing efficiency and accuracy in all critical warehouse operations from receipt, storage, and inventory to picking and dispatch.

Most handheld mobile computers offer 1D or 2D barcode scanning capabilities or have RFID capabilities. Using mobile computers with long-range scanning or RFID, forklift drivers can scan desired cargo without needing to leave the forklift.

Wearable devices provide the same functionalities as mobile computers with an emphasis on the fact that both hands of the operator remain free during work, increasing efficiency and safety.

Check out our "Pick by vision" solution as an example of using wearable devices in logistics.

Label printers are an essential part of warehouse logistics, whether for labeling upon receipt of goods, additional labeling, or labeling during packaging and dispatch. In addition to printers at fixed workstations, mobile printers are also used in certain situations to increase productivity.

In high-throughput, service, or customs warehouses, it's often the case that parameters such as dimensions and weights of logistics units or pallets of items are not known in advance. Measurement devices for dimensions and weights connected to WMS accelerate the process of receiving and allocating goods using information about available pallet spaces or shelves and their dimensions.

Measuring the temperature of goods and vehicles in the cold chain process is an integral part of the WMS reception process.

Specific fixed workstations in the warehouse that are not intended for mobile computers are equipped with wireless scanners connected to computers.

AGV is an autonomously, automatically guided vehicle that receives tasks from WMS. Considering the cost of warehouse workers who must be equipped with mobile computers, the cost of such a vehicle is often worthwhile, especially when considering precision, safety, and speed of handling.

WMS is a system that issues tasks to human workers as well as automatic warehouse modules for receiving, allocating, or issuing pallets, boxes, and other logistics units.
