EVERETT, Wash., Feb. 2006--Large companies have already discovered the time saved and efficiency gained when warehouse workers hold the ability to track and update critical supply chain information right in their hand. The power of mobile warehouse operations is now available to small and midsized companies that use Microsoft Dynamics GP Distribution Software, thanks to collaboration between Intermec Inc. and ADC Technologies Group. The combination of Intermec's CK60 rugged mobile computer and ADC's QuickStart Warehouse Mobility Kit, featuring ADC's x10DATA Mobile software, brings every aspect of warehouse operations--sales order processes, purchase orders, and inventory control card and transaction screens--directly to the mobile user."Even very simple solutions can have a very high ROI because they reduce shipping errors and improve inventory accuracy," said the analyst group ARC Advisory Group in its study of the increased use of mobile and wireless warehouse management technology by small and midsized enterprises. "Improved inventory accuracy means either that companies do not have to carry as much just-in-case inventory or they don't have to spend as much time manually counting and recounting inventory to ensure accuracy.""Our QuickStart Mobility Kit featuring Intermec's rugged CK60 greatly enhances the investment made by Microsoft Dynamics enterprise software users," said Doug Migliori, vice president of business development for ADC Technologies. "Any data inquiry that can be performed from a desktop PC can be performed in real-time on the CK60 running x10DATA Mobile software."With plug-and-play instructions, the easy-to-use kit can be configured and deployed in minutes to mobilize warehouse operations and fully empower material handlers and managers using Microsoft Dynamics GP.The QuickStart Mobility Kit is available from ADC Technologies in the U.S., Canada and Latin America.Each component of the QuickStart Mobility Kit is designed for reliability and ease of use. The CK60 is engineered specifically to withstand the physical demands of the warehouse environment, with a magnesium top cover and rubber bumpers on each corner to cushion against drops. It is sealed against water and to IP64 standards. Designed for fast input and retrieval of information with a QVGA touch screen display, the CK60 runs both text-based applications and graphical interfaces and includes a large, easy-to-use keypad.x10DATA software fully mobilizes enterprise applications in real time, on both Pocket PCs and Smartphones, to empower the mobile worker with the same capabilities and efficiencies as the office worker.
