Data Capture Technology
in Logistics & Distribution
Data Capture Technology is essential for Logistical and distribution operations which often depend on speedy and precise collection and allocation of information to keep its relevant processes moving. RF tag technology feeds data directly into host systems, enabling speedy management through wireless linear and area imaging.
Linear Imaging: This technology is used to quickly read even damaged or badly printed bar codes, speeding the process of order picking in scanning short-distance products.
RF Tagging (Radio Frequency Tags): RF tags are placed strategically in around dock doors, where tags on pallets and cartons are read automatically. Instructions are then immediately relayed to the next stage of management to complete the transfer of goods.
2D Area imagers: Used in collection and delivery, this technology commonly used by 3PL shippers such as FedEx provide short-range linear bar code scanning potential.
