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.
Benets 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 patient’s
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 Mark II 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.
