Advantech - Embedded Software Solutions

Wireless communications and remote dispatch management can optimize the workflow in a logistics or transportation based company. Though the integration of in-vehicle devices such as Advantech's Mobipanel, RISC-based open frame PCs and GSM/GPRS and GPS, a central control center at the headquarters or branch office can more efficiently track the location of all fleet vehicles, report delivery status, as well as deliver new tasks and instructions while optimizing pickup/delivery routes and scheduling. All these factors reduce cost, increase efficiency and improve customer service.

The on-site inspection and inventory systems are conducted to facilitate the warehouse and manufacturing operations in time and cost efficiency. The handheld devices connected to bar code scanner or other devices propel workers past the limits of paper and clipboard, delivering reduced costs and significant operational advantage. In-vehicle terminals of lifts provide operation interfaces for connecting operators to warehouse management systems in real time. Information terminals mounted around the plants and warehouses secured the working areas with entry identification and inbound warehousing information on-demand.
