Inventory Management

Get a real-time view of the supply chain with Wi-Fi-enabled barcode scanners

One of the most effective ways to increase profits is to control or reduce costs. For a retailer, distributor or manufacturer, real-time inventory management plays a strong role in cost control. With a clear view into the supply chain, businesses can control the movement of their assets and maximize the utility of stock locations.

The Aruba enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) solution is ideal for inventory management.

  • Mobilize Wi-Fi-enabled barcode scanners. Aruba WLANs are certified for interoperability with multiple barcode scanners to ensure reliable operation.
  • Consistent coverage in harsh environments. Warehouses and stockrooms can present physically challenging RF environments. Heavy machinery and fluctuating inventory levels also present RF design challenges. Aruba’s Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) automatically adapts Wi-Fi coverage and capacity as physical conditions change, ensuring uninterrupted communications.
  • 24 x 7 operations. If inventory cannot be picked, packed and tracked, operations cease and revenue is lost. Aruba WLANs are resilient and reliable, with multipoint backups for RF coverage and multiple wired links back to Mobility Controllers.
  • Indoor and outdoor WLAN coverage. By deploying a single-vendor solution for indoor and outdoor WLAN coverage, businesses ensure a consistent user experience and lower their total cost of ownership. All Aruba access points (APs) can operate as a mesh, which makes it simple to extend coverage outdoors and in other areas that are typically hard to wire.
