Challenges:
Purchasing professionals must check the goods received (type and quantity) on the spot and later enter them into the ERP system via a local computer. The process is time-consuming, with a high error rate and a risk of fraud due to lack of supervision.
Solution:
The Chainway Android-based handheld computer receives purchase orders from the company’s back-end server via 3G/4G/Wi-Fi connection. Warehouse managers use Chainway handheld computers to scan products’ 1D/2D barcodes or UHF/HF/LF RFID tags for automatic verification, and then wirelessly transmit this data to the ERP system.
Results:
UHF RFID tags can be scanned through packages in seconds in densely populated areas. The Chainway handheld computer accurately and instantly records the digital data of the goods received. It is error-free and cost-effective.
The system can guide the worker along the shortest route to the right place where each piece of the shipment needs to be.
If items are damaged, unclassified or deviate from purchase orders, workers can use Chainway’s handheld computer to take photographs as evidence.
Data on the received products is transferred to the ERP system, updating its database. Logistics administrators gain real-time insight into actual inventory and the supply chain gets off to a positive start.
