So how can processes be streamlined for greater efficiency and production? By incorporating rugged mobile powered workstations designed for ergonomic solutions.

Newcastle Systems pioneered the industry in 2005 with the thought that there had to be a better, more efficient way to get work done other than constantly walking back and forth for different pieces of equipment.

The company found that their rugged power carts quickly increased productivity, minimizing the time it took for employees to walk back and forth from products to computers, to barcode printers.

Labor shortages can be a challenge. The mobile powered workstations cut back on wasted time while minimizing data and mislabeling errors for greater efficiency and production. Mid-level managers become more involved, and QA can easily test and input data on the spot.

Newcastle power carts are fully customizable with accessory and battery options to keep work flowing throughout an entire shift. The ROI can be seen in as little as 4-6 months, providing lifetime rewards. And as they are mobile power carts, there are no infrastructure changes required.

Use the innovative mobile workstation systems in a variety of industries:

• • • Retail for mobile POS
    • Manufacturing for QA, Shipping & Receiving, and labeling of finished goods
    • Warehouses, Distribution, & T&L for Shipping & Receiving, inventory control, supervisor use, picking, etc.

Enhance Production while Saving Money

Employees can spend a needless amount of time walking around warehouses to constantly get all the items needed to complete their work. This can cause fatigue and burnout, potentially creating a loss of employees while causing others to work overtime to complete their workload.

Tasks can be completed in less time with rugged mobile workstations from Newcastle. Employees could transport everything they will need during their shift on one cart that is designed for industrial use. The ergonomical design allows employees to modify the specifics so there is no strain on their backs. Computer screens are adjustable to accommodate different heights.

What are people saying about Newcastle power carts? The I Heart My Cart campaign is a growing trend, as more people experience efficient mobility.

• • • “With my cart, I beat my targets every day. Someday I might just run this place.”
    • “I walk a lot less and still get twice as much done. And I get to go home on time. Love it!”
    • “It holds everything I need: Computer, printer, coffee. Especially coffee.”

Supervisors become more involved on the floor with their employees, increasing engagement and productivity by up to 30%. Quality Assurance can input data on the spot instead of carrying results back and forth, decreasing potential data errors and reducing wasted time.

How much money is your business spending on data errors, overtime, and employee fatigue?

The benefits of using Newcastle power are seeing your business running smoothly and efficiently, revolutionizing your processes while moving ahead of the competition.

Warehouse Use Case

In a warehouse, the average worker will waste about 277 hours a year walking the facilities, which is equivalent to almost 7 weeks of non-value-added work. This can cause employees to get behind in their work, building overtime. Take the singular label printing room in a warehouse or static station. Employees will have to walk back and forth to get the labels to the correct products.

Mislabeling a product, such as produce, can cost a business thousands of dollars in fines and chargebacks. Having the mobile power carts with label printers on them allows employees to print as they go, minimizing mislabeling on the floor.

Employees can have full access to ERP/WMS systems to print new barcode labels as soon as changes are made, instead of waiting on them to be printed in another location. For example, if some produce is organic and the wrong labels were printed, they can make that change on the spot.

Sometimes products are too heavy and bulky to be hauled back and forth for correct labeling. Examples would be flatscreen tv’s, large automotive and airplane parts, and large bundles of cables. It can take valuable time to wait for a forklift to be available for transportation. One company saw a 30% improvement in processing within 6 months using mobile workstations in their warehouse.

Manufacturing Use Case

Transportation & Logistics Use Case

T&L can require processing items at a dock, while on pallets or even in piles. Power carts can easily move around pallets and print labels on demand. Large and bulky items can be immediately processed without transporting them to different areas before storing.

Having all the tools needed in one location that can move around with the employees makes it easy to grab, pick, label, and ship at fulfillment warehouses. Getting the right number of items processed every minute of every hour of every day as quickly and efficiently as possible increases throughput efficiency.

Thousands of installations prove that Newcastle customers get more done and save money.

Mobile carts are offering companies many benefits, including:

• Fast dock-to-stock – Reduce cycle times by up to 60% for more capacity with the same resources.
• Trimmed payroll – Get higher throughout in fewer hours, and up to 75% less overtime.
• The end of mislabeling – Mislabeling is crazy expensive-and pretty much eliminated when you input, print, and apply at the pallet. Easy with a cart.
• Untethered workforce – Paying workers to wear out their shoes? A cart will have them adding value instead. Watch their satisfaction grow along with their productivity.
• Small footprint. Big Return – Carts deliver huge gains without infrastructure or software changes. You won’t find a better cost/benefit equation, with predictable 6-month ROI and lifetime rewards.

If you have already invested in mobile cart technology, then you know these benefits are significant. But like all technologies, they need to be upgraded over time. Some batteries may last years, others may not. Some may not offer the continuous power they once did. Not being able to use mobile technology for as long can present a new set of issues.

Making the switch from lead acid to lithium batteries will increase your efficiency. The new lithium batteries allow for up to 3,000 charges over 8 years, compared to 300 charges on a lead acid battery. That’s 10 times the current lifespan.

Now is the time to make the commitment to mobile cart technology if you haven’t already. Batteries, carts, and charging equipment are all quickly advancing, allowing businesses in all industries to reap the benefits of this switch.

Mobile carts can increase your efficiency and save you money at the same time. One Imprint Enterprises customer found that the efficiency of using mobile carts equated to 2 hour per day of productivity increase per employee. This is because they weren’t going back and forth to the printer, or other terminals. At $20 an hour, with 220 working days per year, that equated to about $9,000 savings per year. This savings more than covered the cost of the carts.

With upcoming advancements in the technology, now is an excellent time to update your mobile cart technology.

What’s New in Mobile Carts?

Newcastle Fixed Lithium Battery

The Newcastle fixed lithium battery is light weight and offers 10 times the battery life of the standard sealed lead acid (SLA) mobile cart batteries. It works for as many as 3,000 battery cycles, or 8-10 years. This empowers employees to do their work without constantly having to worry about replacing the batteries on the mobile cart to maintain power.

These batteries are for the NB and PC cart series, with multiple options available. The fixed lithium batteries fit the powerpacks: PP42LI, PP45LI, or PP55LI. They are capable of charging on the cart and use Bluetooth technology.

Newcastle Nucleus Mini and Classic Batteries

The lightweight mini batteries weigh 6 pounds while the classic batteries come in at 12. Both battery versions last 3,000 cycles or about 8-10 years so that you won’t need to worry about replacements for a long time.

The mini has an 18-hour battery life, while the classic has a 36-hour life, so both offer the capability to easily get through a shift. You can carry more than one charged battery on a cart, so that when one is depleted it can simply be swapped out for the other.

The mini requires a 2-hour charge and is ideal for lightweight mobile equipment. The classic requires a 4 hour charge and is good for PC monitors and other equipment.

LT Series Laptop Cart

The LT series laptop cart offers a lightweight mobile solution that is ideal for those who might not want to be bogged down with a heavy cart. It’s ideal for those looking to utilize a laptop, scanner, or other lightweight equipment. There is no monitor mount for this cart.

The cart does include a top and middle shelf, with a low price point, between $995 and $2,065.

QC Series Cart Redesign

QC carts are designed for you to keep all the tools necessary for the job right next to you at your mobile location. It’s ideal for employees who perform quality testing, measurement and inspection, or other processes that require significant storage.

The redesigned QC series prioritizes productivity with seamless AC mobile power to all devices. The cart allows employees to be able to perform quality control assessments at the product. It also allows for vast storage and device usage options and comes with the same accessories including: optional printer shelf, optional scanner holder, and up to 3 lockable storage drawers.

The redesign comes in at a lower cost, and the materials shifted from plastic to metal, allowing for enhanced durability in rugged environments. Newcastle has prioritized maintaining the same functionality out of this cart.

Mobile Cart Technology is Advancing

Mobile cart technology offers businesses a tremendous advantage in productivity and efficiency. Like most technologies, the benefits are quickly advancing, and the carts and batteries of today are even more powerful with more potential benefits than just a few short years ago.

There is no need to keep working with carts that are decreasing in battery life, or not offering the same level of performance that they were when they were purchased. And with the new charging rack from Newcastle, being able to charge all batteries in one location became much easier as well.
