The Mobile Warehouse: Returns
Â
Check Returns Quickly and Accurately
Warehouse returns are one of those “little things†that can have a major impact on your warehouse operation.
In a Motorola mobile warehouse you can check returns quickly and accurately, re-label them right on the spot, decide whether or not to return them to stock, and eliminate the countless other problems associated with working at a fixed workstation.
The Mobile Warehouse: Receiving
Â
Reduce Errors and Increase Accuracy
Receiving goods at the loading dock isn’t just labor-intensive; it can be error-intensive as well. Especially when you do things manually.
Simplify the Receiving Process
Receiving is much simpler in a Motorola mobile warehouse. Things you used to do by hand are now done using intelligent devices. You no longer have to worry about reading an unreadable label or punching the wrong number into your inventory system. The result: accuracy is increased. Costly errors and customer turnaround times are reduced.
Motorola’s mobile computers are rugged, multi-mode scanning devices with bar code, imaging and RFID capabilities. Combine them with wearable printers and you can print labels on the spot, reducing errors and increasing throughput.
To stay in touch with floor personnel in high-volume receiving areas, Motorola has a digital two-way radio system with a long battery life for clear and reliable communications.

The Mobile Warehouse: Managers Assistant
Â
Take Care of the Office while Running the Floor
In today’s fast-paced warehouse, it’s easy for managers and supervisors to lose touch with operations on the floor.
But Motorola has a solution. With a personal mobile computer and communications system, you can supervise operations on the warehouse floor even when you can’t be there. Conversely, you can take care of business in the office while you’re on the floor, running things.
Multitask Like Never Before
With a rugged enterprise handheld digital assistant, you can perform multiple management functions simultaneously.
Utilizing integrated scanners and imagers, you can capture data on the floor and transmit that data back to a main office over an existing wireless local area network.
Increase Visibility to Keep the Floor Productive
Voice over IP (VoIP) capability, optional cellular connectivity and our digital two-way radio systems allow you to stay in contact with personnel on the floor — even in noisy settings. Use email and text messaging to share critical information quickly.
Need a wireless network built to your precise specifications? Or simply need to expand your current one. We’ve got you covered.
Take advantage of mobile voicemail, email and voice communications that work seamlessly with your Warehouse Management System (WMS) — as well as WMS and ERP applications like purchasing, inventory and dispatch.
In short, a Motorola digital assistant gives you access to the entire enterprise. This helps make you more efficient and gives you the visibility necessary to keep your entire floor productive.
It’s just another way Motorola puts Enterprise Mobility in the palm of your hand.
