Provide your warehouse with handheld data entry devices that allow real-time updating of your stock ledger coupled with the ease and accuracy of bar code operation.
 

10.1 Real-Time Operation

The device is connected, via a wireless network, to your server and, as stock adjustments are made (for example, during a stock take), those adjustments are updated automatically in axis diplomat.

The Hand Held Stock Control module provides simplified functions for key stock control functions, although any standard axis diplomat function, however, can be operated from the hand held units.

The key functions are designed specifically for use with these hand-held devices and are intended for use with bar codes but, as with other functions within axis diplomat , items can be selected by reference or by key word selection using the built-in keypad or touch screen.

Since the software is closely dependent upon the characteristics of the hand held data capture device, Axis First offers a bundle pack consisting of the axis diplomat Mobile Client Licence, together with the ruggedised data capture device itself, to provide everything (except the wireless network infrastructure) you need to be able to use the Hand Held Stock Control functions.

What specifically-designed functions are available for use on the hand-held units?

The list of axis diplomat functions that are designed specifically for these units includes:

  • Stock Take Adjustment
  • Positive Stock Adjustment
  • Negative Stock Adjustment

10.4 What Infrastructure do I need to be able to use these Devices?

Connection to your network is using standard wireless networking technology (802.11b or 802.11g). Your warehouse needs Wi-Fi base stations, known as access points, to which the devices connect. The number of access points that you require will depend on the size and layout of your warehouse.

The devices connect to your server using a protocol known as RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), which means that your server must be capable of providing Terminal Services.
