autoscan versus “pen & paper“: Incoming goods
How much time can you save by using autoscan? To give you an idea, let’s take a closer look at the incoming goods process in a warehouse with and without autoscan!
The comparison
In our (fictitious) example, there’s a warehouse with a daily truck delivery. The corresponding delivery note lists on average of 200 positions. The warehouse does not receive a digital delivery note from the supplier but the item master data is already available in the ERP system.
70 MINUTES AND
17 MINUTES AND
The above-mentioned numbers are estimates based on our experience gained in various warehouses – of course every customer is different. But one thing is for certain: autoscan makes working more efficient and completely eliminates certain steps.
Time is valuable!
The time saved in the above example is impressive: About 53 minutes are saved for each delivery – which adds up to about 220 working hours in a year! And we are just talking time saved in incoming goods – we haven’t even talked about other processes like inventory, goods issue or item relocating. Not to mention positive “side effects” like superior data quality, which is essential for every well-organised warehouse.
