Manufacturing companies are implementing wireless and mobile technologies such as laptop computers, Pocket PC- and Palm OS-based handheld devices, barcode scanners, smart phones and specialized industry specific tools. The use of wireless bar code scanning equipment helps with inventory storage and relocation, cycle counting, creating shipping documents, receiving operations, shop floor alerts for more parts and the ability to look up pertinent items.
Wireless devices such as wands, scanners and imagers can be used for identifying, tracking and monitoring mostly everything that moves within a manufacturing environment. The ability to track materials is enabling more efficient inventory management, enterprise asset management and maintenance, as well as order fulfillment and field support operations.
