Vehicle Mount Computers

Vehicle mount computers are an integral part of warehouse operations. If you have any equipment such as forklifts moving through the warehouse, docks or yard, you will want a mobile technology with the capacity to increase productivity and reduce errors throughout the operation. Product information is accurate, complete and accessible in real time from receiving to storing, moving around, cross docking and picking.

Benefits of Vehicle Mount Computers

The primary benefit of vehicle mount computers is that the data is being captured, processed and applied where the action is.

• The vehicle computer tells your driver exactly what batch to pick up.
• The driver has detailed information at his fingertips on where to store the product such as a bin or rack number. He then confirms the putaway is complete.
• Moving product. A vehicle mount computer can track product in real time while it is being moved within your warehouse or even cross docked for immediate shipping.
• The real time accuracy of information right in the vehicle that is picking the product eliminates human error in selecting the wrong product.

You can see the results immediately.
