We recognize the unique challenges businesses face in trying to manage their business mobility while also managing all the other parts of their business. From unboxing, to provisioning, MDM enrollment, repair services, and even on-site installation, Imprint has the solution you need.

Immediate Needs When Devices Go Down

When normal business operations are interrupted by a device (or several) going down, you may get notified by the staff member whose device isn’t functioning or by a notification in your MDM system (if you have one). Without a device management service, you have several immediate needs.

First and foremost, you need to get this device back up and running, fast. Which means you need to understand the reason for the downtime as quickly as possible to fix it. Then, when the issue is resolved and the device(s) is back up and running, you may want to understand the larger circumstances or variables of the downtime so that you can prevent it from happening in the future.

IM² can address all your needs, making our team members your team members, with specific time and attention allocated to managing and maintaining your devices for you.

Decreasing Downtime

Understanding Downtime

As your service provider/device manager, we can also help you understand downtime so that you address these occurrences and prevent future recurrences. We can run reports and identify information that may be useful – again, using one of our various applications that provide this visibility and oversight.

We can identify if there is a certain issue with a particular device or if there are certain devices that are more frequently creating issues than others and if so, why. We can look at dates and times for downtime and see if there are trends/patterns that offer information we can use to adjust a variable in the environment to prevent this from happening again. We can address updates and version control proactively, ensuring security measures, virus protection, etc.

The more information you have about why the downtime occurs, the more we can work together to address it, reduce it, or perhaps even prevent it from happening altogether.

Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)

Creating a smart warehouse for the future to keep up with demands and your growing needs is ever important. If you have a WMS, look around your warehouse to see if labels are fading and wearing down. If you don’t even have a system, how will you maintain growth?

Installing smart labels for easy scanning and enhancing the visibility of your signs will boost productivity and expedite order fulfillment. Barcode scanning will increase in use by as much as 67% for greater efficiency. Is your warehouse designed to keep up with that demand?

From the floor to the bins, from the shelves to the aisle signs, here are some of the solutions that will work for you and your warehouse. Warehouse management systems need to keep up with the changing times and increasing demands. This is your first stop to find out more about what you need to transform your warehouse for the future:

• • • Floor Labels & Kits
    • Retro-Reflective Labels
    • Rack & Bin Labels
    • Warehouse Magnets
    • Warehouse and Isle Signs

Wireless Sensors

Using barcode verifiers can make sure barcodes are readable. Verifiers are designed for accuracy and repeatability, checking your barcodes for the highest ANSI or ISO quality using a pass/fail or letter grade. A quick search will find a wide range of models and prices. It’s important to hire a specialist that can get the best fit for your size, your goals, and your budget.

Mobile Computing

Consumer grade tablets and even many commercial grade tablets are not durable enough for rugged industry environments. Consumer and commercial tablets have poor security and manageability capabilities, causing slow processing speeds with quickly outdating tablets. Zebra Technologies is always upping the standards in rugged technological needs, keeping up with demanding industrial environments.

Zebra has an entire line of mobile tablet options that incorporate rugged durability, security, and manageability. Rugged tablets, such as the ET5x Series and the L10 are waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof. Mobile computers, such as the MC9300, T8300, and MC3300x, can range in durability for extreme environmental conditions and offer multiple scanning and keypad options.

RFID 

RFID technology can increase operational efficiency, eliminate human error, and reduce capital costs. RFID technology also provides access to real-time data, offering insight for better decision making and precise asset management. Each tag has its own unique serial number.

RFID readers can be fixed for maximum visibility and pinpointing location throughout the warehouse. Readers also come as handheld readers and mobile computers to extend a network’s visibility beyond the walls of the warehouse.

Machine Vision

Machine Vision takes barcode scanning to the next level through automation. Matrox® Imaging expands industrial automation by supporting basic track-and-trace applications to complex inspection, recognition, and guidance tasks. Choose from a selection of fixed-mount scanning options that can meet any need of your facility.

Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)

Fetch Robotics AMRs are robots with built in intelligence systems to allow them to move and perform tasks autonomously. Most facilities do not have to be modified for AMRs to move around, using a localization map so they can start running upon deployment.

With better connectivity and enhanced safety features, AMRs can efficiently work around people and objects and can be scheduled to complete different tasks at different times. AMRs work great in warehouses for manufacturing, distribution, and fulfillment.

Warehouse modernization is just that. Modernizing the technology of your current facility, or helping you build your new facility, to help you manage modern complexities while thinking about future growth potential. With current trends in ecommerce, labor shortages, and economic disruptions, it is vital to business success to remain flexible.

Technology can often appear to be expensive or overly complicated. But with technology advancing at an increasing rate, it is more readily available and easier to manage than ever before.

Benefits Now & in the Future

SMBs can have greater operational complexity than large enterprises due to managing everything with fewer warehouses. One SMB facility can be managing all business operations within it. Technological advances are more accessible than before, making it easier than ever to incorporate and scale technology as needed.

Some SMBs wonder why they should bother incorporating technology into their current operations. Incorporating technology does not have to be a complex ordeal and does not require creating an entire department dedicated to learning how to manage it. The experts can help you quickly learn how to easily operate and manage everything, or the experts can manage it all for you.

You can quickly enhance visibility within your facility by incorporating technology. A small business can incorporate labeling systems, software, and mobile devices to more efficiently process and track orders. Medium-sized businesses can upgrade their current systems and software to better manage the complexity of their growing demands.

Automation can ease labor shortages and reduce unnecessary steps. It is more accessible than before, with more options to fit your current needs. Mobile computing, mobile scanning devices, and mobile printers makes it easier to reduce the amount of time employees spend walking around your facility.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires using a unique device identifier (UDI) on barcode labels in food, beverage, and medical fields. The United States, European Union, China, and Brazil have specific serialization requirements for pharmaceuticals, with more countries joining to include this requirement. The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) created industry standards to improve efficiency and accuracy. ANSI and ISO are barcode label grading systems based on a letter or a numerical score.

These standards play key roles in identifying, tracking, and tracing products as they move through supply chains across the world. Whether it is a simple traceability requirement or a complex regulatory compliance code, incorporating barcode technology can help your manufacturing company minimize fines and exposure.

Small to medium sized businesses are the backbone of the business industry, accounting for approximately 90% of all businesses in the world. As more businesses streamline their processes by incorporating technology that can grow with their future, you may end up being left behind. And as more regulations and mandates are released, it can be more expensive to still manage your processes with a pen and paper.

It is quickly becoming more expensive to not modernize your warehouse. How can your business grow without tapping into the technological advancements that are available?

Moving into the Future

Part of growth as a SMB is winning new contracts and expanding into new territory. Keeping tabs on inventory, processes, and information becomes more challenging as customers and contracts increase and diversify. Add in current shopping trends and keeping up with order demands and fulfillment can be stressful.

Technology is the future and it’s already here. In a world where ‘one-click-buying’ and ‘next-day-shipping’ are common terms, how can a SMB that is using a paper and pen processes, relying exclusively on the knowledge of a few individuals, keep up with current trends let alone move into a more efficient and profitable future?

Food Service Wholesaler Data Entry

A hummus manufacturer gained a large commercial contract that required immediate hiring to facilitate the demand of that contract. Their company went from 10 employees to 150 employees with that one contract. With that many employees, a manual entry system can quickly become flawed and filled with errors. Incorporating barcode technology can easily manage the data to minimize data entry errors and speed up processing inhouse.
