Challenge

Warehouses may look like “four walls and a roof,” but they’re complex, dynamic, and unpredictable, making them challenging for staff and their IT.

As industrial automation evolves, doing tasks with less people is not enough, tasks must be done better. Take medium-sized forklift trucks as an example. In the past, they relied on human memory and the human eye, leading to low efficiency and human error. But with a smart RFID reader, logistical efficiency can be greatly improved. Forklift trucks are specialized vehicles, with warehouse environments complex and constantly changing, which means any IT you add must be resilient, flexible, durable and shock-resistant, with excellent wireless communications, and a long battery life if mobile.

Solution

Digital China has partnered with Getac to provide warehouse logistics solutions, with the Getac F110, T800, and UX10 tablets serving as the user terminals.

With Digital China’s warehouse solution, barcodes and RFID readers collect inbound/outbound goods information through in-vehicle tablets, with real-time data (RTD) uploaded wirelessly, ensuring speedy accurate collation of all data-related warehouse management details. Real-time locations of all personnel, vehicles, and goods can be tracked and displayed at all times, making it easier to get forklifts where they need to be when needed. Through machine vision analysis and edge computing, real-time alerts regarding illegal entry and exit of personnel and vehicles are available, coupled with behavior and status analysis so thresholds can adjust to minimize false alarms.

Benefits

Digital China’s solution addresses real-world warehouse pain points, delivering clear and significant improvements.

Warehouse IT must tolerate drop, shock, spill, dust, vibration, heat, and cold. But tablets like the F110, rated at MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461G, and IP65, can handle it. And since warehouses have many obstructions, wireless connectivity must be reliable and powerful. Tablets like the UX10 offer Wi-Fi and 4G LTE, enabling reliable real-time speed indoors and out. And with multi-shift battery life a must, Getac offers multi-battery configurations, high-capacity batteries, and even bridge batteries. Getac also offers dedicated onboard GPS, enabling precise geolocation of irregularly-shaped forklifts. And the benefits are real. Digital China’s solution shortens inbound time from 180 minutes to only 30, outbound time from 90 minutes to 30, while reducing average inbound/outbound documentation by 70%, with near-100% inbound rate accuracy.
