Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Solutions enable you to track, service and maintain assets no matter where they’re located.  Mobile computing greatly enhances asset management and allows you to better utilize resources, improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.  Ruggedized handheld mobile computers and the right software can improve a variety of key processes, including:

• Work order scheduling
• Inventory management
• Preventative/corrective maintenance
• Inspection
• Asset audits

The following are some typical characteristics of organizations that benefit from an EAM system with wireless mobile computing:

• You have 50 or more technicians servicing facilities, office equipment, machinery and fleets
• You use paper-based work orders
• Your technicians perform numerous jobs per day
• Your organization is spread across a large area or your workforce is widely dispersed

From receiving to picking, there are numerous warehouse mobility solutions that are designed to reduce errors and improve productivity.  Picking in a retail warehouse environment is an important part of your internal supply chain and can dramatically affect customer satisfaction.  Accurate picking operations ensure that your customers receive the right product without any shipping delays.  End-to-end mobility solutions provide the pickers in your retail warehouse with the tools to:

• Increase speed
• Improve accuracy
• Improve output
• Ensure the correct items are shipped on time

With a mobile computer (or wearable mobile computer) and a mobile printer your employees can scan, verify that the right product was selected and print pick slips and packing slips on the spot.  The mobile device organizes the picking order route to minimize travel through the warehouse and the mobile printer eliminates the need to travel to printers located elsewhere.  Everything is completed right from the warehouse floor in only a few steps— minimizing picking time and maximizing accuracy.

In our June 23rd post we provided information about some of the healthcare businesses that rely on workers outside of the four walls.  Today I’d like to take a look at the ways that pharmaceutical and medical equipment suppliers are using mobile solutions to better serve their customers and increase efficiency.  With a mobile solution in place you can:

• Schedule drivers with Web-based order dispatching that is sent directly to their mobile device
• Assign and track the status of pickups and deliveries in real-time
• Dynamically dispatch the nearest courier
• Automatically capture and report mileage driven
• Export collected data to the back office for extensive reporting

In addition, the use of electronic forms reduces errors and enables:

• Bar code scanning of prescription number, part number and serial number
• Correct and complete deliveries validated against order line items
• Signature capture
• Image capture of damaged equipment

In past posts we’ve provided information about Near Field Communication (NFC) and Chip and PIN Payments, today I’d like to provide information about another payment option entering the retail market ̶ MEEPASS.  French company MTag created MEEPASS, a service that uses 2D bar codes to identify a mobile device user at the Point of Sale (POS).  The service creates a unique and secure 2D bar code known as a MEEPASS and can be used for payments, loyalty programs, coupons and ticketing anywhere that has a bar code scanner connected to MTag.

MEEPASS offers an alternative to chip-enabled payments and doesn’t require an active Internet connection for the service.  Once the bar code generating software is downloaded to a smartphone it’s ready to go. MEEPASS also requires users to create a security code that they present with their mobile phone to reduce the risk of abuse if their mobile phone is stolen.

The retail industry is changing, if you’re ready to take advantage of new customer-facing applications that utilize mobile phones to increase loyalty and improve the shopping experience turn to DecisionPoint Systems.

Direct store delivery drivers that use hand carts to deliver products such as soft drinks and other beverages have to deal with stairs, curbs and other types of terrain, all while in and out of the elements.  DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. and Datamax O’Neil recently worked with a customer to address this issue and created a hand cart bag to hold a PrintPAD mobile printer and Windows Mobile Device.
