A truly large warehouse is a whole world in which each cargo travels a long way from entrance to exit. And each warehouse owner has a desire to make this path as short and fast as possible.
One of the recognized experts in organizing an efficient warehouse is UPS . But even she was faced with a lack of tools for automating logistics. Therefore, especially for her, HP has developed the first of its kind wrist multifunction device (MFP) HP Handheld sp400 .
His purpose is
All existing similar purpose devices today use at least one stationary link to which you need to deliver a box for processing: a workstation with a database, a scanner or a large thermal printer for printing sticker labels. Using the HP Handheld sp400 MFPs , you can do all this anywhere in the warehouse thanks to the built-in scanner, wireless connectivity to the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth database, and a printer that prints directly to the packaging - up to 5,000 prints per cartridge.
Advantages: the cargo is processed much faster, the application of information becomes cheaper by printing directly on the packaging, rather than on labels, and staff training takes several minutes. According to UPS estimates, all together this will save her millions of dollars a year.
And what other applications for the technology underlying the HP Handheld sp400 MFP can you imagine?

His purpose is
- scanning the barcode on the package of the goods,
- obtaining complete information about his future path and
- applying this information to packaging in human-readable form for subsequent shipment to the recipient.
