From converting raw materials into finished goods to delivering items to end users, products are constantly moving in the supply chain. Mobile printers are essential in this dynamic setting, particularly after manufacturing when items need to be stored and transported to customers. Although all mobile printers are made to be used “on-the-go”, specific requirements can vary as items move down the supply chain.
Logistics
Logistics operations facilitate product flow from producers or suppliers to end-users, or vice-versa. Proof of pickup and delivery is often necessary, requiring receipts to ensure confirmation of delivery. Additionally, labelling may be required for occasional tagging when labels are missing or illegible.
Elements to consider:
Mobility requirements
Media usage
Durability
Charging capabilities
Working conditions
Warehouse
Warehouses serve as large storage centres for bulk inventory. There are two major labelling applications in a warehouse: labelling incoming items for accurate storage and relabelling items with illegible labels. For operations that rely heavily on warehouse vehicles, a mobile printer with a shoulder strap alone isn’t sufficient. Additional accessories are needed to create operational synergy and streamline labelling processes.
