Mobile tool has voice, bar coding features

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 5/1/2004

A new solution incorporates speech-directed operations with bar code scanning and browser information on off-the-shelf wireless Pocket PC clients via a standard 802.11b network.

Cadence Mobile Logistics (CML) to be deployed later this year by Cadre Technologies Inc. will enable mobile workers to execute all warehouse operations within the Cadence Warehouse Management System on a single mobile computer utilizing multiple modes of communication.

The system's controller software finds tasks for workers to complete and sends information to the mobile computer about the location and nature of that task. This information is then displayed on the screen by the browser and spoken to the worker. As workers perform each activity and confirm it to CML, the software gives directions for the next task.
