How to Make Your Cold Chain Logistics More Productive During Supply Chain Constraints

 

Mobility solutions are helping modern warehouses succeed by reducing costs and adapting to unrelenting demands while increasing sales and customer satisfaction. However, when it comes to effective cold chain management, traditional warehouse technologies may not always be up to par. To thrive in damaging low temperatures, devices need to be engineered for the environment they’re intended to operate in, otherwise, it may lead to a drop in battery performance that slows operations, frosted-up screens that make it difficult to read, and screens that are incapable of usage when your cold chain workers are wearing thick gloves.

 

Studies show that the annual global food industry loses $750 billion due to improper handling procedures in the cold chain. To prevent these effects, cold chain management depns on rugged and reliable mobility solutions that are specifically designed for use at low temperatures and sudden temperature changes. Freezer-ready devices ultimately facilitate better decision making which results in…

 

  • Reduced costs – Maximized operational visibility through interconnected devices allows you to target possible bottlenecks before they hinder productivity.
  • Increased throughput – When your efficiency is smoother because of boosted operational efficiency, more orders are processed and moved through your facility.
  • Improved task accuracy – Choosing to invest in optimized operational visibility eliminates confusion in your warehouse so workers can focus on completing critical tasks.
  • Ensured proper safety – Real-time data and visibility provides your cold chain with the confidence to precisely track shipments. Precise tracking ensures that delivery dates are met and products don’t expire.

 

 

Implement reliable performance in challenging environments.

 

Deploying rugged mobility solutions like computers, tablets, vehicle-mount computers and wearables provides your warehouse with options for your cold and condensation-producing environments. As an experienced solutions provider, CAN-AM partners with Zebra Technologies to further explore the results of freezer-ready modernization with technologies like:

 

  • The MC9300 mobile computer – Tackle sudden temperature drops with an ultra-rugged device built to handle the cold thanks to IP67 and IP65 sealings with per applicable IEC sealing specifications. Enhance your productivity with a heated scanner exit window, a freezer-rated battery, and the power to operate at extreme temperatures. This improves uptime in your cold chain because workers spend less time fixing devices.
  • The VC8300 vehicle-mounted computerCombat extreme temperatures in your operation with tough features such as IP66 sealing, true frost, and condensation-free operation with connectors and battery heaters. Additionally, it comes equipped with smart temperature sensors that automatically control the heater and heating speed. These features ensure device performance in your cold chain to keep workflows smooth. The VC8300 also comes equipped with a PC-like keyboard with heaters and drainage holes to avoid icing and a flat surface that is immune to catching ice, dust, or water.
  • Best-in-class intelligent scanning – Capture more successful first time scans for less downtime and delays even for frosted and small barcodes. Intelligent omnidirectional data capture also eliminates extensive training and onboarding since PRZM scan engines don’t require precise scanner alignment to read barcodes.
