Warehouse technology
Run warehouse work on phones, tablets or rugged devices.
Choose a device based on scanning volume, mobility, durability and how much information staff need on screen.
Ordinary phones
- Low extra cost when staff already have suitable devices
- Camera scanning and photos in one device
- Familiar interface
- May not be rugged enough for daily warehouse use
- Personal device policies, charging and damage need consideration
Tablets
- Larger screen for receiving, packing and complex order information
- Useful on a trolley, stand or packing bench
- Less comfortable for one-handed scanning
- Protective cases and mounts may be required
Rugged Android warehouse devices
- Integrated barcode scanner
- Physical scan buttons
- Longer battery life and replaceable battery options on some models
- Designed for repeated drops and warehouse environments
- Higher cost, but better suited to continuous use
Cameras are useful beyond scanning
A warehouse device with a camera can capture evidence as part of the process.
- Condition of incoming stock
- Damaged cartons or products
- Serial numbers or identifying marks
- The completed packed order
- Delivery, collection or handover evidence
