With the timely and accurate collection, transfer and management of data being every bit as important as the physical movement of goods through the supply chain, Dematic has launched a new website aimed at making supply chains smarter.
General manager of Dematic's Real-Time Logistics Division Brian Lang said the initiative was customer-driven and reflected the ongoing development of new, smarter, integrated IT solutions for supply chains.
"The logistics IT area is so dynamic, with new technologies and software breakthroughs occurring at such a rapid rate, we felt it best to create a new portal where logistics and IT professionals could keep up-to-date with ongoing developments," said Mr Lang.
"Dematic's unique skills across the supply chain industry come from having the specialist experience to work in warehouses, manufacturing plants, retail operations, yards and ports, with safety compliance and the necessary knowledge to develop value-adding solutions that take into account the industrial environments in which we operate."
The new website presents the latest information on technologies, software and applications across a broad range of supply chain applications. Some of the technologies addressed in detail on the website include voice-directed computing, wireless networks, handheld and vehicle-mounted computers, printers, scanners and the wireless infrastructure that connects field computing capabilities with management information systems.
Over the past decade, Dematic says its Real Time Logistics Group has integrated tens of thousands of wireless mobile computers across hundreds of sites throughout Asia Pacific.
Key services include:
IT and logistics systems integration. Wireless network design and implementation (WLAN/WWAN). Scanners and other data collection technologies. Handheld, wearable and vehicle-mounted wireless mobile data computers and RF terminals. Voice-directed computers and voice over IP (VoIP). Real-time locating systems (RTLS). Printers and peripherals.
