Thanks to Datalogic devices, all production processes have been improved, costs reduced, and productivity enhanced.

Receiving service orders goes remarkably faster. We save about a half day of work each day with the new bar code system.

The project resulted in an improved inventory management system, which allowed the company to recoup about 30% of our space. We’ve also considerably reduced our risk since the automated tracking of raw materials eliminates the chance of using the wrong product. All of these benefits translate into improved standards of uniformity and security of processes, resulting in savings for our company.

A few complications also had to be taken into consideration. We never know beforehand what exactly will come in, and the goods that arrive at the warehouse must be delivered within 48 hours, 72 hours at the latest. The challenge we faced was developing an intuitive, flexible and custom-made solution for the dynamic environment in which we work, completely geared to our business.

I used to write down all of the article and serial numbers for an order by hand and then key them into the computer manually. It was very time consuming and easy to make an input error.

There were a number of factors that influenced our decision to introduce the solution that we now have. The ‘Green Spot’ confirmation of successful scanning meant that there was no interruption to continual scanning activity, the ergonomic design of the unit was key and the trust that we had in Datalogic ADC and Ensign to deliver a solution that continues to meet our business requirements both at store and in the warehouse environment. The accuracy/efficiency that we have seen, particularly in preparation for sales and stock takes have resulted in freeing up staff resources to spend more time on the shop floor and further insure that the customer receives the best possible experience and most accurate information available. We are constantly developing the functionality of the Skorpio mobile computers. If we can cut down on the time spent away from the shop floor or doing what was traditionally paper-based or labor-intensive, then our internal development team will write a solution for the activity and deploy it via the Skorpio mobile computer.

We deliver approximately 45,000 machines each year and to save seconds on each order quickly adds up. Picking errors have also ceased to exist, which provides even higher quality of delivery to the customer.

Datalogic mobile computers provide an important contribution to work efficiency today regardless of the ERP in front. The use of mobile computers in the coming years will increase and Autoliv Europe is looking forward to continuing the constructive partnership with Datalogic and Groupe Prisme. Our products save lives and by providing smart products that allow us to ensure our quality of service, Datalogic contributes to this objective.

The new scanners with the oscillating mirror read the labels much better that the previous scanners. Before, we had a lot of problems reading the labels due to the placement of the labels on the pallets. With the new scanners, it doesn’t matter where the label is, it gets read. It’s great!

The primary reason we wanted to introduce bar code technology is for the high level of accuracy, which is vital to our business.

Our new BDGRetail hand terminal solution with the Memor mobile computer was quickly and easily implemented in the stores. We have reduced our staff costs and the administration in-store system has been significantly simplified.

Being able to use the PDA’s, the printers, and ServicePro’s Realtime Mobile software has cut down on the time the office staff has had to manually post tickets because the technicians are already doing it for them.

We were tasked to deliver suspension modules in sequence to our customer’s production line. We needed to have a robust and reliable error-proofing system that ensured our customer would be consistently supported, and protect Delphi with a fully traceable document and scanning audit trail.

The reporting of spare parts is much quicker. Before the new system was installed, we had to manually count and write down all spare parts, which was not always error-free.
