Barcode-IT have supplied Sony with new technology to update their web based order picking system at the Enfield warehouse. Following a period of consultation, Sony chose 63 Datalogic Memor mobile WiFi terminals to manage the picking of individual orders in the warehouse and 9 DLoG MTC 6/10 industrial fork truck mounted computers, for bulk replenishment to the pick face. The terminals supplied by Barcode-IT have been integrated with the new Sony web based warehouse management system, allowing products to be picked easily and quickly throughout the warehouse and replacing Sony's existing text based solution and terminals.

The Datalogic Memor is a compact, lightweight yet rugged mobile terminal ideal for the picking environment and uses a WaveLink Industrial Browser to connect directly to the Sony Warehouse Management System. WaveLink Avalanche is being used by Sony to manage all of the terminals from a central source. Avalanche management technology, is an innovative mobile device and infrastructure management solution that solves the challenges associated with managing the wireless ecosystem.. The incorporation of WaveLink Avalanche technology into the Datalogic Memor was a real selling point to Sony DADC, who value the ability to complete management tasks across the wireless LAN and WWAN, and ensures that the wireless environment is secure.

The DLoG MTC 6/10 mobile computers are mounted to forklift trucks and used to guide the operator when executing bulk replenishment to pick face tasks. The DLoG mobile computers are precision German-engineered and as such offer an ultra rugged yet high functioning solution for the warehouse. The MTC 6/10 allows the user to run an Windows XP embedded operating system, which was a priority for Sony, who wanted to run their standard desktop configuration and PC image on the fork lift terminal screens. Additionally, the DLoG MTC 6/10 were supplied with Motorola LS 3408 for barcode scanning and features a Freefloat, configurable onscreen touch keyboard for operators to use when inputting data and navigating the browser. This feature alone was a huge plus point to Sony, who could previously attribute 70% of failures to physical keyboard failures on their old terminals.

With a head office based in Salzburg, Austria, Sony DADC provides world-class optical media replication services and supply chain solutions in over 14 countries.
