Surprise Performance of CipherLab 9700 Series in a Cold Storage Warehouse
A leading food importer in Taiwan, offering the best food products around the world, has its own cold storage warehouse to ensure quality and consistency for customers' best experience. Today, the enterprise continues to build a winning 

business model as a professional supplier of fine foods. 

Being able to work without interruption in low temperature environments is a must for a cold storage warehouse. Combined with CipherLab 9700 series industrial mobile computer and the additional heater option, it has helped in avoiding frosts on screens, maintain the reading efficiencies and reduce battery consumptions in a cold storage warehouse under temperature of -20°C. The 9700 series with pistol grip provides workers a great operational experience. It makes it convenient for users to utilize the device in low temperature environments. In addition, the physical keypad allows users to key-in the picked inventory amount easier. The 9700 series also has been used at the storage cache area, without the additional heater, at the temperature of 5°C while waiting for the goods to be loaded in the transport truck.

 

The implementation of CipherLab 9700 series fulfills the user demands in both frozen and refrigerated environments, especially when the temperature differences may cause malfunctions in different devices. However, the 9700 series, with heater, (unexpectedly) surprisingly solved the problem of device coldness and frost in a cold storage environment. These benefits highly support user satisfaction and willingness to purchase more 9700 series with heater function for the new cold storage warehouses in Taipei and Taichung.

A leading stationery supplier enterprise, offering a wide variety of stationery supplies for offices and schools, has over 6,000 exclusive distributors and more than 50,000 retail sites throughout China. This enterprise has set up a well-known brand

In such a large stationery warehouse, the enterprise faces unstable Wi-Fi connections, needs of switching systems under Browser/Server structure and inaccurate data input due to small physical keypads. Due to these existing issues, it caused the reduction of user operation efficiency. This enterprise decided to change their devices to the RK25 series rugged mobile computers, which provided the user-friendly operation and enterprise-oriented usability.

 

CipherLab RK25 is built with the most reliable LTE connection for constant back-end system connection and real-time data transmission. In addition, the light weight RK25 has the option of 25-key wide numeric keypads, which gives more accurate data input to users in a non-visual operation environments. Combined with certified browser and emulation software, the RK25 allows the users to run the warehouse management system under the existing operating system.

 

The adoption of RK25 series, together with our SI software, fulfill the user demands in both functionality and usability, especially resolving the operating issues on function keys. With the good user experience of RK25 and strong service and supports, the enterprise replaced the old handheld terminals with CipherLab 9700 series industrial mobile computer for better efficiency in warehousing management. As a result, the enterprise is expected to deploy 500 units of RK25 series in stationery warehouses and 100 units of 9700 series in distribution centers.

CipherLab provided the RS31 which utilizes easy-to-use Android interface, making it easy to adopt for anyone familiar with smartphones. With 1D and 2D barcode capturing of RS31, staffs easily took control of inventory status and connected with back office systems in real-time. When the staffs were facing customer's queries on shop floors, they could immediately look up products and price information. The RS31 helped the staffs deliver great customer services.

 

In addition to scanning capabilities and a smooth touch-centric big screen, the RS31 provided a rugged design with IP67 rating that could withstand splashing water from fridge food. The IT department also used SOTI MobiControl to remotely manage and deploy RS31.

 

With CipherLab's RS31, the retail chain improved its sales, services and satisfactions. The RS31 mobile computers are now deployed for in-store operations. In order to compete in today's changing retail environment, the RS31 will possibly be used for more new applications such as click and collect for online shopping or direct-store-delivery.

Reader Configuration Utility
Mobile computers are capable of reading printed barcodes. These barcodes can be either 1D or 2D. CipherLab mobile computers are installed with a Reader Configuration Utility that configures the internal scan engine for the need of creating settings that best suits your needs.  

Just tap All Apps and then ReaderConfig on the mobile computer screen to open the Reader Configuration Utility. It contains everything you need to best customize the settings you want. In “Decode Timeout”, maximum time for the decoding process during a scan can be set. A LED light beam that aids barcode reading can be enabled under Decoding Illumination. You can also project a crosshair at the center of the laser light beam to facilitate barcode reading to better assist the reading process. Aside from that, the format of data output can also be set. Notifications such as LED, vibration and beep can be chosen to help notify the user of a successful decoding.
