Productivity and efficiency in e-commerce

After the order is received by the respective eCommerce dealer, it is processed in the warehouse. An organized warehouse ensures more efficient workflows by optimizing processes and routes. S&K Solutions offers a variety of solutions which will take warehouse management in your company to a new level.

For applications in the warehouse, many markings, labels and signs which are printed and change frequently can be replaced by digital E-Ink displays. This makes it possible to display machine and shelf markings, flow charts or routing slips as digital signs on an easy-to-read E-Ink display or E-Ink label.

A further advantage of digital signage and marking on material boxes, chutes or similar is the integration of action buttons, which can be used, for example, to reorder missing goods on site. This avoids failures during operation. The content of the labeling is flexible and can be changed at the push of a button. Thus, warnings, new information in case of updates or changes of the content are quickly displayed. In addition, processes such as Pick by Light can be used via the LEDs on electronic labels or action buttons to check out the goods, so that an up-to-date inventory can always be displayed promptly. Supplemented by larger digital signage at the end of a shelf, inventory management becomes altogether clearer and more flexible. With our ESL displays, the constantly changing flow charts, the progressing handling processes, the pickup times of the shipping service providers, as well as general order overviews can be displayed on large electronic signs.

Thanks to digital labels, Digitalization and Industry 4.0 also moves into your production and logistics. Keep your product data, condition data and order data at storage locations, load carriers and kanban types always up to date in the form of electronic paper. Digital labels are highly efficient, especially in production processes, warehousing and logistics, because their networking with a central system completely eliminates the need for your employees to create, print and exchange paper labels. The labels are controlled and recorded with the help of the supplied access point including the appropriate software.

The advantage of the data acquisition devices offered by S&K Solutions, such as handhelds, barcode scanners and tablets, can be seen from two different perspectives.

Handhelds, also known as mobile computers, offer various options for registering goods in the handling process for order overview. A rapid scanning process is an essential part of the delivery and goods receipt process. While the camera of a conventional smartphone is not suitable for these requirements, handhelds are equipped with the scanning technology of a barcode scanner, which allows barcodes to be captured in almost any condition without the need for repeated, tedious alignment of the scanner. The scanned data can then be conveniently transferred using an app. The accelerated process of barcode capture will save your employees time and thus optimize the operational processes. Despite its high functionality, the handheld computer is very easy to use. Since the mobile computer is based on the Android operating system, every employee who owns an Android smartphone is familiar with the user interface and can operate the device without a long learning phase.

With the functional design and a shape that fits comfortably in the hand, the handhelds are suitable for hours of use and allow data to be collected on site without the need for cumbersome wiring. Each device has Bluetooth and WLAN function. So you can exchange the captured data with other devices or connect to the company's internal network. Due to the reasons mentioned above, handhelds are therefore ideally suited for the preparation and follow-up of the handover to the shipping service provider in the eCommerce order center.

A second perspective can be taken from the perspective of the shipping service provider. The shipping service provider is dependent on handhelds and barcode scanners to document the shipping process adequately and thus optimize the customer experience. The flexibility and handiness of our handhelds and barcode scanners is a clear advantage and a must have for a flawless shipping process.

To make product localization in your order center as easy as child's play, S&K Solutions, as a certified RFID specialist, offers innovative solutions for RFID labels and RFID scanners. RFID labels are located directly on the product and are used to locate a specific product in a large range of products. The RFID scanners, which optimize the order processing in the eCommerce Center through their extensive functions, serve as a complementary part.

What advantages does RFID offer?

• Contactless identification
• No visual contact between transmitter and receiver required
• High transfer rates and fast readability
• Simultaneous detection of many transponders
• High security through copy protection and encryption of information
• High resistance to environmental influences
• Deletion and rewriting of RFID tags possible

The basis of every order center and the foundation of successful eCommerce order processing is the printing of shipping labels. S&K Solutions offers an all-round service for label printing. The different models of desktop and industrial printers offer different functions and advantages which can be individually adapted to your needs.

In general, industrial printers are usually much more powerful and robust than other printer models and are therefore particularly suitable for printing large print volumes. Various, more reliable processors support fast processing of incoming print jobs and enable very high printing speeds, enabling you to handle large label volumes without any problems. Even stand-alone operation, without direct connection to a computer, is possible without any problems. In addition, industrial printers have very robust housings that are resistant to external influences. This feature is indispensable especially in dusty environments or in high humidity and contributes significantly to the longevity of industrial printers compared to other label printers.
