Mobile devices have quickly become a real game changer for businesses. Distribution centers of all sizes are starting to realize they could also benefit from mobile technology. As many older warehouse managers are retiring and getting replaced by a younger generation, the younger leaders are starting to employ more efficient technology solutions to common distribution center challenges. Technology in the distribution center is not only useful for tracking product data, but also for labor supervision within the warehouse. Specifically designed for the needs of the ever-growing distribution industry, mobility in distribution centers offer solutions could accelerate the pace of your distribution business and increase profitability.
How is Technology Used Currently in Distribution Centers?
When products are first received in the system, they must be trackable. Whether it becomes inventory or is only passing through to another destination does not matter. The picking and shipping areas are where the system picks up speed, and accuracy is key. This is also the area where distribution centers meet most of their challenges:
- Quick turnaround times
- Orders being accurately packed
- Correct shipping information
- Transfer to shipping/delivery service
- Notifying customers of order status
Already, the need for a more adaptable management system is evident for both product and labor. Some distribution centers have added different tiers of inventory including consignments and special orders. Supervisors are responsible for overseeing the normal tasks that need to be done, but also need to address problems. For instance, supervisors are regularly looking to find out where bottlenecks are forming, handling employee issues, and addressing productivity levels that are not where they should be.
