About this Webinar:

The Connected Associate: Accessing the Wealth of Data and Work Effectively Any Place, Any Time

Thursday, October 12th, 2:00 PM – 2:30 PM Central

Presented By:

Rocky Rickard – Director of Business Development

Scot Sinnen – Strategic Channel Accounts, Samsung

What to Expect from the Samsung Connected Associate Webinar

From retail workers in stores to logistic drivers on the road and healthcare professionals in hospitals to technicians in the field, associates struggle to access the wealth of available information and communicate effectively with each other. Frontline workers far too often still rely on outdated technology and, therefore, outdated data.

During this webinar, Samsung will share how to empower your team by democratizing data, increasing their productivity and job satisfaction. The speakers will also cover how to provide busy field workers who are constantly on the move with familiar walkie-talkie experience while using a smartphone.

Key Takeaways:

• What to do to keep teams agile in various verticals, including transportation, warehousing, retail and healthcare
• Why rugged devices designed to withstand rough environments don’t need to be more expensive, less powerful and bulkier than consumer smartphones
• How the Galaxy XCover6 Pro push-to-talk technology allows workers to initiate two-way or group conversations with a single press, even when wearing gloves

Watch the full recording below. If you have any questions about what a push to talk solution might look like in your organization, do not hesitate to contact us.

Measuring large quantities of spatulas, machinery components, bolts, and apparel can be a challenge for order pickers and warehouse operators. Non-uniform shapes are hard to measure, and high turnover and rotating shift workers means you never get consistent measurements on your ever-changing library of SKUs. Inconsistency in measurement and process leads to unreliable master data, and inefficient downstream processes. Enter the Cubiscan 325, an automated object dimensioner and scale.

If you want to reduce inefficiencies in your supply chain, this machine is an excellent starting point. Master data collection, storage, carton selection, and pick and pack are much easier processes with the Cubiscan.

Accurate, Efficient Dimensioning with the CubiScan 325

The Cubiscan 325 eliminates the need for manual measuring and weighing by automating the dimensioning process, reducing physical strain on employees, limiting manual data entry errors, boosting overall productivity, and improving cost savings across every operational area.

Smarter Dimensioning Today

We’ve covered how useful the CubiScan 325 is. It’s also just plain magical to see in action. Contact us for your dimensioning needs today – we’ll deliver a custom solution for you.
