Fran Rifkin, the WMS Product Manager from AFSTechnologies, presented on the advantages of going mobile in the warehouse. Mobile devices allow workers to check in trucks upon arrival, capture receiving information electronically, and finish receiving - eliminating pain points. Features of the mobile system include viewing deliveries, searching, updating statuses, and capturing details. ROI comes from increased throughput, reduced errors, real-time visibility, and cost savings versus other devices. A demonstration showed the mobile receiving process, and future enhancements were outlined.
