「HAKO-FLO®」
– Enhansing Warehouse Floor Operations Efficiency Using Images –
In our previous newsletter, we introduced “EZ Snap Air,” a new service in the HAKO-FLO® family that allows easy capturing and instant sharing of cargo and goods photos in warehouses using smartphones.
In this issue, we’ll explore how to utilize photos for warehouse floor management using EZ-SnapAir and EZ-report.
Visual Records Improve Inventory Accuracy
Using HAKO-FLO® EZ-SnapAir and EZ-report in logistics warehouses significantly improves inventory accuracy. Compared to traditional management methods using only numbers and barcodes, visual records allow for immediate confirmation of cargo and goods conditions and placement. This enables early detection and resolution of inventory conditions and damage issues, leading to improvements in various aspects of warehouse operations.
“A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words”
Digital image records of incoming cargo and goods enable more accurate sharing of their status with relevant parties. When searching for items in the warehouse, referencing recorded images makes it easier to identify the target objects. Additionally, when asking warehouse floor staff to locate specific cargo or materials, sharing images allows for more accurate information exchange about the target items.
Enhanced Traceability
Photo-based warehouse floor management contributes to improved traceability. By recording the condition of cargo and goods at the time of receipt and shipment, swift and accurate responses are possible in case of any issues. This leads to improved customer satisfaction and reduced costs associated with complaint handling.
Real-time Information Sharing
| Information read and recorded image data can be instantly updated in inventory records through the HAKO-FLO® CLOUD service, allowing real-time confirmation of the status and placement of goods in the warehouse. This enables early detection and prompt handling of issues such as cargo conditions or damage. |
| Moreover, managers and relevant parties can check the status of cargo and materials on the warehouse floor anytime, from anywhere, without having to physically visit the warehouse floor. |
Automated Information Reading: EZ-report
Compared to traditional methods relying on barcodes or RFID tags, EZ-report offers several advantages:
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for reading text information from captured images
- Direct reading of product information using barcodes and QR codes
- Augmented Reality (AR) functionality for measurement
These features help reduce human errors such as misreading or miswriting information and enable instant reading of large amounts of data, leading to reduced work time and improved efficiency in inventory management operations.
