RTS provided a solution that included the Honeywell VM3 Windows 10 rugged computer with a CITRIX client installed and integrated it to, a Honeywell 1980I Granit rugged scanner. RTS also provided a CISCO RF network for the freezer environment.
It was also discovered that there was a need to extend the distance from the scanner to the barcode to enable the forklift driver to comfortably scan all barcodes which was easily resolved by RTS recommending specific changes to the barcode layout printed on the labels which increased the scanning distance by 70%.
RTS continues to work with Peerless who are currently reviewing their processes to further improve efficiencies and it is anticipated that a fixed scanning solution will be employed to further achieve this. This type of solution will reduce or even eliminate any driver input to the terminal for regular tasks.
With the additional site expansion, RTS are consulting on process improvements to better improve the flow of product throughout the business. The solution will be duplicated into the expanded cold store facility.
