Inventory management plays a key role in delivering an exceptional and seamless customer experience. In today’s retail environment, customers can make a purchase inside a physical store or virtually from any location using a variety of channels and expect product to be readily available for shipment. To support the rising demands of omni-channel ful-fillment, retailers rely on Datalogic solutions to implement best practices and optimize product delivery from a multitude of inventory locations within their enterprise. Datalogic industrial handheld scanners, rugged mobile computers, smart cameras, fixed readers and vision systems help identify and track items providing an effective and efficient retail inventory management.

DISTRIBUTION CENTER

1. Receiving

When a new item, typically a pallet, or a parcel, arrives at a Distribution Center, Datalogic’D technology provides solutions for item identification (manual or automatic), dimensional checks, and verification of the printed & applied labels. From this moment, the item can be accepted into the Distribution Center and stored or processed, adapting to any Warehouse Management System (WMS) allocation strategy.

2. Tracking

Once the item has been accepted into the Distribution Center, the WMS decides for its temporary allocation. Datalogic solutions for identification, detection, and safety provide a reliable, fast and safe storage into the allocated target locations, even in low temperature areas. The effectiveness of these Datalogic solutions are critical to the efficiency of the warehouse and to keep the supply chain cycle running smoothly.

3. Order Fullfilment

This is a core function of the Distribution Center. Retailers adopting an omni-channel strategy are presented with different challenges, from varying order sizes to expedited delivery times of items located in different locations. Datalogic has a unique solution portfolio that helps increase speed and accuracy both in manual and automatic order-picking and sorting. Linear cameras can offer unbeatable advantage in high-speed automatic sorting, while mobile and hand-held products increase productivity.

4. Shipping

When items to fulfill an order are picked and/or sorted, they need to reach the correct outbound area. With thousands of items waiting to be palletized or directly shipped, the order accuracy is simply A MUST! Shipping mistakes costs money and affect the overall quality perception of the retailer. Datalogic is a strategic partner in this process, offering machine vision and imaging technologies with hand-held and mobile products. These solutions are essential to help maximize the order accuracy and improve delivery reliability.
