Meet the Experts
As customer demand and expectations become complex, associated warehouse operations also become complex. Advances in computing and technology, specifically on the edge, allow organizations to leverage smart devices and mobile solutions in a tactical way to address warehousing operations challenges. Miniaturization, increased performance & energy efficiency, and lower production costs of smart devices, have all contributed to the adoption of smart mobile devices on warehouse floors. Smart sensor computing capabilities have improved significantly, allowing data processing and analysis to take place at or near the source (“edge computing”) and minimizing the quantity of data that must be transferred between the device and the platform. Large, complicated data sets are becoming easier to handle and store thanks to systems like Hadoop. AI and ML algorithms are being developed and tested all the time, increasing our ability to predict and prescribe actions more accurately. All these aspects create a ripe ground for the proliferation of mobility solutions.
