…process. While the pouch system is automated, loading and unloading of items is a manual process. Thomas says the benefit is a smooth and continuous flow of returned items as they move at a rate as high as 12,500 items an hour. Powered mobile workstations process returns in real time with maximum flexibility in the facility. Decidedly different tech are mobile workstations from Newcastle. Ledversis says these powered platforms provide up to 11 square feet to process returns alongside a bar code scanner to collect data, label printer and a mobile terminal that communicates directly with the WMS. “It’s always…
