Optimizing Port Operations with Implementation of CipherLab's RS35 and AppLock
Port Operations and Container Load Management
Established in 2003 in the Bali District of New Taipei City, this company has secured exclusive operating rights for several berths at Taipei Port, along with the rear-line warehouse storage area and land for harbor access roads. Taipei Port plays a vital role in automobile logistics, maritime express shipping, and the transportation of chemical products, serving as a pivotal node in the supply chain.
The port's linear facility is capable of accommodating multiple Very Large Container Ships (VLCS), each with a capacity of over 10,000 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units), simultaneously. With an expected annual throughput exceeding 4 million TEUs, the rear container storage area is positioned for significant activity. The company offers a range of services, including shipside assistance, container yard operations, on-dock logistics, CFS & fumigation, and more.
Efficient port operations rely on real-time access to data such as inventory status, cargo details, and shipping schedules. Mobile computers with barcode identification capability are crucial for tracking inventory stored in containers and warehouses, enabling workers to execute tasks safely, efficiently, and accurately, ensuring seamless port operations.
However, the company's previous method involved using the camera of smartphones for decoding barcodes, which proved slower compared to using a dedicated mobile computer. Furthermore, the smartphones they relied on have become outdated and lack newer successor models. Consequently, they initiated a search for a replacement. Through a recommendation from CipherLab's partner, they discovered CipherLab's RS35 touch mobile computer , which outperforms competitors in its class in reading performance.
Considering the need for faster and more stable network connections to facilitate real-time access and processing of large data volumes, alongside security concerns, this company opts for an internal network. One primary reason for choosing CipherLab is the availability of EnDeCloud , a mobile device management software developed by CipherLab for efficiently managing devices within the Intranet. Additionally, they utilize CipherLab's AppLock , a built-in utility that controls the user interface for work purposes only and limits the system resources available to users, enhancing device security and worker productivity.
