How the Use of Smart Devices as

Barcode Scanners Can Streamline Supply Chain Workflow

What You Will Learn

• How smartphones and other smart devices are becoming preferred

data capture devices

• How data capture innovations like Augmented Reality (AR) are

streamlining supply chain and logistics operations

• How hands-on, hands-off, and hands-free mobile data capture

platforms can be used to streamline your supply chain

• Specific use cases across these platforms

• Business and cost benefits of mobile data capture vs. dedicated

scanning devices

Smartphones as Mobile Data Capture Devices?

• Excellent UX

• Modern Operating System

• 3-5x Lower Total Cost Of Ownership (TCO)

• But …

• Barcode Scanning Performance?

• Battery Life?

• Durability?

• Ergonomics?

Enterprise-Grade Barcode Scanning on an iPhone 6

Smartphone Devices Have Evolved Into Outstanding

Data Capture Devices

• Battery Life: Scan every 5s on a single charge for 10.5h (7,500

scans) on an iPhone 6 SE and 15h (9,000 scans) on Samsung

Galaxy S7

• Durability: Many rugged phones or cases available

Ergonomics and Durability via Specialized Cases

INNOVATION: Advanced Data Capture Innovations to

Streamline Logistics Operations

• Multiscanning enables high-

speed scanning and tracking

of multiple barcodes for rapid

inventory checks and single-

scan receiving

• Augmented Reality (AR)

allows guided picking,

automatic price verification,

identification of specific

products from a shelf, carton

or pallet of similar goods

INNOVATION: Advanced Data Capture Innovations to Streamline

Logistics Operations

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Adds Text Recognition to Mobile Scanning Workflows

• Key Capability:

• Mobile scanning apps can be enabled

to read predefined data from sources

such as packages, forms and labels

• OCR Use Cases:

– Reading serial numbers

– Capturing data from other sources

when code is damaged

– Reading lot numbers after a code is

captured

• Video: Link to video

Targeting Different Device Platforms …

Hands on Hands free Hands off

Hands on Use Case – Shipping & Receiving

• Authenticate shipments and

instantly report damaged or

missing items

• Save time and resources on the

loading dock

• Easy to use and ergonomically

optimized

• Capture shipment data in bulk

with multiscanning

Hands on Use Case – Proof of Delivery

• Geotagging and geofencing capabilities ensure deliveries go to the right place

• Mobile device built-in camera and touchscreen enable image, data and signature capture

• Document and signature capture features quickly collect and e-file documents

Hands on Use Case – Order Entry

• Make it easy for customers to

place orders at any time

• Reliable, simple mobile order

entry improves customer/client

efficiency and productivity

• Orders can be entered,

retrieved and delivered to the

customer with no additional

steps

Hands off Use Case - Order Picking

• Smart glasses enable

employees to pick items with a

glance

• Multiscanning and AR

capabilities allow associates to

identify correct products with

visual scans

• Hands are left free for physically

picking and packing orders

Hands-off Use Case: Track and Trace

• Using smart glasses,

employees can instantly track

and trace items, products or

assets

• Out-of-stocks are reduced at a

glance

• Awkward, bulky dedicated

barcode scanning hardware is

replaced with unobtrusive

eyewear

Hands-Off Use Case: Inventory Management

• Drones or robots can quickly

capture data from an entire

warehouse full of products

• Drones and robots can

automatically scan inventory on

nights, weekends and holidays

• Using hands-off data capture

platforms, logistics organizations

can reduce labor costs and error

rates

Hands-Off Use Case: Asset Management

• Drones and robots can easily

scan remote or hard-to-reach

assets in the field

• Hands-off mobile data capture

platform streamlines finding

and tracking assets across the

supply chain

• Fewer human resources spent

locating and maintaining assets

boosts revenues and improves

employee focus

Other Benefits of Smart Devices as Barcode Scanners

• BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) – Associates can use

their own smart devices to run scanning apps,

eliminating cost of providing and maintaining hardware.

• Ergonomics – Dedicated scanners are bulky and

awkward. Smaller, sleeker smart devices are lightweight

and easily fit associates’ hands. This reduces fatigue,

errors and repetitive motion injuries.
