Powered mobile carts for retail eliminate the challenges of stationary point of sale infrastructure, providing the best customer experience possible. Here’s how (free infographic included below).

Are You Prepared to Adapt Your Checkout Technology?

POS in many stores tend to be anchored to checkout aisle stations. You have a monitor, printer, a handheld barcode scanner, stationary conveyor scanner, and a touchscreen payment terminal. The cash register, network, and wiring do not give you much leeway to reconfigure checkout for optimal revenue in peak shopping periods.

Customers won’t be eager to return to a checkout environment with long lines and suboptimal item scanning.

Introduce curbside pickup, e-commerce fulfillment and returns, and the need for a clear picture of inventory counts at all times – soon the need to mobilize a wireless, all-in-one checkout station becomes apparent.

4 Impactful Ways to Incorporate Powered Mobile Carts in Retail Environments

Newcastle Systems has long been an industry leader in mobile carts (picture computer, printer, scanner, and shelves on wheels with no power cords).

The CR7010 and CR7020 mobile charging cases are here from Code Corporation.

Designed for fast-paced healthcare settings, the CR7000 series is complete with a disinfectant housing, sleek design, and rapid charging. All under the protection of quality charging cases that Code is famous for.

Mobilize and Supercharge Your Patient Care Technology

A mobile device used in healthcare must be able to withstand the same chemical disinfection protocol as any other piece of medical equipment.

A phone would not last six months without some kind of case for protection, depending on the severity of chemical baths. Some hospitals have even predicted that handheld mobile devices are on track to substitute high-priced computer workstations and all of the additional peripherals they require, such as barcode scanning equipment.

From a single mobile device running a mobile health information system, you can scan (using soft-scanning software and the mobile device camera), chart, verify, and document (HIS). Previously, a convenient and fast way to charge mobile devices on the go in a hospital environment meant substandard disinfections and poorly optimized workflows.

That’s no longer the case with the CR7010 and CR7020 cases.

A mobile device used in a hospital setting must also be resistant to disinfection protocols and accidental drops. With many employees scanning and managing sales and inventory on the device, the cases provide protection for both scenarios and keep employees and devices safe.

Protecting your mobile investment with a fully enclosed battery backup case extends device longevity in any environment.

If you want to use the mobile power of iPhone devices in your facilities, CR7000 series cases can protect your patients, employees, and devices. In contrast to the partial protection provided by most consumer-grade cases, full enclosure means complete protection.

Code CR7000 Series Mobile Charging Cases: Ready to Deploy in Healthcare Environments Nationwide

The CR7000 series mobile charging cases feature bi-directional data pass-through, an easily swappable external battery power that more than doubles the life of your phone, and a flexible battery charging system with multiple battery charging station options. The charge status of each battery is clearly displayed, eliminating the need for guesswork.

Improve daily productivity with a protective mobile charging case you can rely on. For detailed product information, download our CR7010-CR7020 PDF:

The Rise of Mobile Robotics

Wednesday, November 9^th, 12:00 PM ET

Presented By

David Lin – Product Manager, Robotics Automation at Zebra Technologies

Manthan Pawar – Product Manager, Autonomous Mobile Robotics at Barcodes Group

About this Robotics Webinar

Labor shortage and an increase in consumer demand continue to surge the need for technological innovations that improve and automate processes. Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are the latest advancement in automation to deliver the speed and flexibility needed to fill the gaps. This webinar will demonstrate the benefits of AMRs and how they empower organizations to utilize their labor resources more efficiently.

During this webinar, we’ll be covering the following AMR topics:

• Industry drivers and trends generating the demand for AMRs
• How AMRs can help achieve higher operational speed and throughput
• AMR use cases and workflows within warehousing and distribution, eCommerce, 3PLs, and manufacturing

Businesses and enterprises are exploring robotic systems to help them overcome challenges. Finding the balance between meeting demands and controlling costs is familiar for Fulfillment and e-commerce, distribution centers, and manufacturing. However, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, companies have found that the information technology and operational technology (IT and OT) that helped them operate effectively in 2019 no longer allow them to keep up. 

Robotic systems, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), support the intelligent, automated operations that enterprises need to stay competitive and profitable.

The Challenges Driving the Move to AMRs

Robotic systems and autonomous mobile robots give operations solutions to some of their most serious challenges. 

Labor

Job openings in the U.S. have totaled more than 10 million each month from 2021 to 2022. More than 800,000 of those positions are in retail trade, and 795,000 are in manufacturing – and industry growth is outpacing available labor by a 6:1 ratio. Furthermore, businesses are not only struggling to fill positions. They are also finding it difficult to retain them. 

AMRs can easily accomplish tasks in the warehouse or distribution center, such as transporting freight, replenishing parts to manufacturing lines, and transporting items or consumables to packing stations. As a result, robotic systems allow enterprises to make the best use of their labor as they automate basic tasks.

Supply Chain Disruptions

The pandemic also disrupted and slowed the supply chain worldwide. Fulfillment centers, warehouses, and distribution centers have had to respond with greater efficiency and visibility into inventory movements. 

Robotic systems enable operations to move materials, cargo, or merchandise effectively to keep the supply chain moving and make the best use of warehouse capacity. 

Customer Expectations: While labor shortages and supply chain issues increased, customers became more demanding. Expectations of instant, flawless service drive a greater need for speed and agility in operations. 

Robotic systems work consistently and quickly to move materials, deliver them where needed, and fulfill orders accurately, increasing throughput and customer satisfaction. 

The Added Benefits of Robotic Systems

Operations are deploying autonomous mobile robots to address some of today’s monumental challenges, but they’re discovering that they also provide additional advantages.

• Cost savings: With AMRs moving inventory and materials, replenishing processes, transporting recycling, and performing simple –yet time-consuming and necessary – tasks, businesses can more easily control labor and overtime costs. Operations can see significant ROI from deploying robotic systems. 
• Scalability: With less dependence on labor, operations can scale with the volume of work. 
• Space optimization: Many robotic systems require only a small footprint, enabling operations to utilize their space efficiently. 
• Enhanced safety: Autonomous mobile robots minimize unproductive travel and are designed to prevent accidents in a busy industrial environment. 
• Operational data: Because robotic systems are connected to the enterprise’s network, they can provide real-time data on their tasks, information that allows operations to digitize and catalog workflows, and insights that can help improve processes.  
• Employee satisfaction: Assisted by AMRs, employees can focus on higher-value tasks and quickly complete their work.
