How to increase productivity in the logistics sector through portable printing

Warehouses have to manage hundreds of thousands of goods every day; a volume that has increased even more as a consequence of COVID-19. Warehouse activity includes many processes that are critical to the correct functioning of the entire logistics chain and the speed of stock rotation, such as traceability, labelling accuracy and the documents related to each process, which are increasingly important.

Any mistake made in the logistics sector can be very costly, as it has an impact on the cost of the product. Not having an item or a delay in distribution could stop the entire production chain, not to mention jeopardising consumer satisfaction with the service, something that cannot be allowed.

It is therefore essential to have an accurate, fast and efficient identification system that covers all the needs of a warehouse, from preparation to delivery to the customer through product labels, shipping labels, localisation labels, shipping labels, pallet tracking labels, etc.

In addition, every day there are situations where labels need to be printed at any time and anywhere in the warehouse. In fact, the success or failure of the company will depend, in large part, on the ability to print personalised, quality labels when and where you need them and without any kind of error.

And how do we get a labelling system anywhere? Simply by implementing one of the advanced portable label printing solutions that allow us to reduce the duration of goods-in, goods-out processes, as well as goods preparation times. At the same time, we improve the accuracy of the information on the labels we print to identify products and their location, minimising potential errors. These portable printing solutions allow us to increase and make printing points more flexible, as they are usually very compact and lightweight tools that can be transported to any location in the warehouse with a conveyor belt or mounted on a vehicle or forklift, which makes work much more flexible. They also offer greater freedom to perform all tasks on-site, with the highest quality, without errors in labelling and saving time to dedicate to tasks that are more crucial to the business.

What’s more, these solutions should be easy-to-use, intuitive tools that can integrate seamlessly so you can start capitalising on their benefits from minute zero. Because warehouse work is very intense and you can’t afford to spend part of your time learning how to use a new solution or having to install new software. Time should be fully dedicated to making sure the whole process runs smoothly so that customers receive good service and are satisfied.
