AS/400 Mobile and Wireless Applications
Applications that operate remotely from the four walls
of manufacturing and distribution facilities can have a tremendous,
positive impact on the supply chain. Automating and enabling
activities in:
 | Transportation |
| Logistics |
| Routing |
| Delivery |
| Yard Management |
| Field Service |
| Sales & Order Processing |
| Route Accounting |
allow your operations to be more effective, provide
higher levels of customer service, reduce costs, and improve
profitability. AS/400 Mobile and wireless applications can provide these
benefits to your organization.
When applications that have traditionally been
centered on the AS/400 are available in industry standard formats (such
as web browser access), they can easily be extended beyond the physical
facilities of your organization.
At Curbstone...
Curbstone provides the services of trained and qualified (APICS CPIM &
CIRM certified) professionals to analyze and optimize your operation. We have extensive
experience in AS/400 data collection and materials handling, as well as AS/400 mobile and wireless
computing, dating back to the first narrow-band RF systems deployed industrially.
This combines for the benefits listed below...
Visibility
Improving the visibility of your inventory -- whether
it is raw materials, in-process, or finished goods -- can have a
dramatic effect on your operations. Knowing that products are on
the way to a manufacturing facility allows improved planning processes
and less recalculations.
Using wireless and mobile computers and
applications, most companies can better track and use inventory that is
"on the move".
Manageability
Visibility alone can produce benefits for your
organization, but they do not stop there.
With increased information flow about where your
business resources (products, inventory, human capital, etc) are, you
can manage them better. With AS/400 mobile and wireless applications, you
can collect information about what your current needs are and deploy
your resources as is appropriate. You can identify the specialized
field service vehicle that can service your important customer, or
redirect the inventory scheduled for one distribution center to another
higher priority center.
Managing your resources wherever they are (whether on
the road, at a customer site, or in your own facilities) allows you to
get higher returns from them -- and increase your profitability.
