Accu-Sort® Systems, Inc. will be exhibiting at the 2010 RILA Logistics Conference, booth 318, February 21-24, 2010 in Orlando, FL. The company will be demonstrating bar code systems that have helped retailers reduce losses from mis-picked cartons, reduce labor caused by no-reads, and reduce the cost of labeling through automatic print-and-apply technology. Accu-Sort bar code scanning systems are proven in 6 of the top 10 retailers in the nation.
In a year when retailers are squeezed by recession, distribution center efficiency is more important than ever. Accu-Sort offers hardware and software for bar code systems, print-and-apply applications, sortation and dimensioning that reduce cost in multiple ways.
Automated Receiving. Accu-Sort’s FAST Label® print-and-apply systems enable the implementation of cross-docking and automated receiving strategies that can increase throughput by 66%.
Picking Accuracy. Picking errors create immediate and hard-to-track losses. Accu-Sort bar code readers can compare the shipping label and product bar code to verify that items were picked correctly.
Sorting Accuracy. Accu-Sort bar code equipment can detect non-singulated (side-by-side) packages, preventing inventory problems caused by “phantom” packages.
Label size reduction. Better bar code scanners allow the use of labels that are up to 18% smaller, reducing the cost of labels. Accu-Sort offers retailers high read rates on a wide variety of linear bar code and 2D bar code label types with a full suite of imaging products, including area cameras, high-speed cameras, and long-range cameras.
Diagnostic Tools. Bar code cameras like the AccuVision® AV6010 can capture images of every no-read label for root cause analysis. This approach greatly reduces the labor of manually handling no-read cartons. Accu-Sort also provides software that makes it easy to monitor equipment performance and line performance.
