A classic example of this would be grocery price validation. Instead of
downloading a 10 MB file into a hand held, the computer does the table lookup
and lets the operator know what prices need to be changed on the floor. Any
store without prices on the items must have price validation by RF Terminal to
be sure the prices on the floor are the same as the price in the computer. Direct
Store Delivery by vendors is also a must for RF Terminals, allowing the store to
monitor the price being charged by the delivery personnel to the store.
The best example is stock-taking. Based on the outage or overage, the computer
would instruct the operator in different things to do: count again, see supervisor,
etc. The counts could be double-checked on the spot, yielding a faster more
accurate inventory count.
Receiving - As a purchase order is received, the operator scans and key what
has been received, with the computer pointing out shortages that are double
checked on the spot rather than after the items have been moved or partially
used.
Shipping - As items are loaded, they are scanned. Shortages or misloads can be
detected immediately.
Put-Aways - The computer can tell the operator where in the warehouse to
place items from receiving and the items are then immediately available for
picking to satisfy the next order.
Warehouse Picking - The computer instructs each picker what to do with up to
the second stock status from Put -Aways. This would be especially valuable
with items in multiple locations and where substitutions are possible.
