Markets and Applications
Distribution/ Warehousing - Printing from the Picking Cart
A cart picking system allows the operator to work on multiple orders that
are much smaller than those requiring a forklift. It is also used for inventory
purposes to re-mark items and generate shelf locators. Incorporating a
Compact4 Mobile printer into this system has allowed users to realize
increased efficiency and a reduction in labeling errors. Having a mobile
printing system enables the operator to pick and package orders while
moving down the aisle without going back to a central location to print
documents. The Compact4 Mobile is used to re-mark items and print
special instructions, package contents, invoices, and shipping labels.
Benefits of Printing from the Picking Cart
Implementing a cart system has similar benefits to the forklift system, but on a wider array of applications
across numerous industries. Benefits include:
• Time Savings – Reduces the time required to move to and from a centralized
printing location.
• Error Reduction – Printing on demand and on location means you no longer
have to move to a centralized printing station where the possibility of
selecting and applying the incorrect shipping labels greatly increases.
• Reduce Waste - Reducing the amount of travel to a centralized printing
location saves time and fuel.
• Additional Picking Cart Applications
- Healthcare: Hospitals use carts for collecting specimens and labeling at patientʼs bedside.
- Retail: Stores use carts for generating shelf tags and item labels on the floor.
- Manufacturing: A power cart can be easily moved throughout the line to provide labeling at different
locations or when an additional printing station is required.
Transport/Logistics
The Compact4 printers have been used successfully in shipping and mailing applications due to their
small size, rugged reliability, and ease of use. These printers are able to print labels and tags, and have
options to support a semi-automated process, making them ideal for transport and logistics applications.
In addition, the printers offer the mobility and versatility that cannot be found in traditional desktop
printers.
