Kansas City, USA
and Cambridge, England -
Arcom, a leader in embedded solutions, and
member of the Eurotech Group,has entered into an agreement with
ProCat Management Services for 500 Zypads to assist in their
warehouse management solutions.
The Zypad is an application ready wearable computer.
Because of its diverse assortment of features and functionality,
ProCat has chosen to use the Zypad as the foundation for PickRight,
its latest technology application. PickRight has been developed to
improve the order picking process in distribution centers. Most
distribution centers still use paper picking tickets to pick
customer orders. This process is slow and prone to costly picking
errors. The ProCat solution uses Zypad technology to replace the
current paper pick tickets and allow picking to become a hands free
process. Order picking instructions are wirelessly transmitted to
the Zypad units. Picking accuracy is insured with the Zypad
accessory ring scanner that allows the picker to easily scan product
bar codes at the time of each pick. Training time is greatly reduced
with the easy to use displays that appear on the Zypad touch screen.
The ProCat solution significantly improves the product picking
process by reducing labor costs and delivering perfect accuracy.
“We are very pleased with the functionality that we are
getting from the Zypad. We have developed an outstanding solution
that we believe will be implemented in 100’s of distribution centers
across North America in the next few years. The Zypad is an
excellent device for us.” said Dave Copestick, President of ProCat.
ProCat Management Services develops specialty software
applications for convenience store chains and wholesale
distributors. ProCat looked at competitors in the industry but found
that the Zypad had an open platform which allowed them to design
their own application and utilize the ring scanner accessory to
build the right solution for its clients.
“This order shows the value for our clients in Arcom
cross selling products from the Eurotech Group. Arcom is now able to
offer its client’s and future client’s finished products that are
open, application ready platforms.” said Arlen Nipper, President of
Arcom.
