The pallet is scanned. Is it ready for the next truck?

navichain perspektiv · NP-0092

A beep identifies the goods. navichain connects receipt, location and the next transport in one workflow.

Summary

navichain combines barcode scanning with warehouse locations, customer goods and transport bookings. A terminal can therefore connect receipt, placement and release in one coherent workflow. Zebra equipment uses established input methods and is configured for the operation’s code formats, screens and events. Follow six pallets through a changed evening departure: four continue while two receive a clear new next step.

Six pallets arrive

The receiver checks customer, goods and quantity. The record states clearly what the terminal has actually accepted.

Identity first

The label carries an identity. navichain uses it to find the record where owner, quantity, location and transport belong.

Give the goods an address

Zones and storage locations give the pallet a defined position. The next person can find it after the receiving colleague has gone home.

One plan for office and dock

The transport booking and terminal work use the same information. Dispatch plans the departure and the dock sees which goods should travel.

The departure changes

Two pallets must wait until tomorrow. Dispatch changes the plan and the terminal receives a clear new task.

Four leave. Two stay.

Four pallets are released against the evening transport. The remaining two enter the storage routine and receive a known location.

The next shift finds them

The morning shift searches the identity and finds both pallets immediately. Yesterday’s decision remains visible in the workflow.

Zebra feeds the workflow

DataWedge or Bluetooth HID brings the scanned code into the active screen. Scanning becomes part of receipt, placement and release.

Configuration is part of implementation

Scanner, code format, field mapping and subsequent events are set up for the terminal process. This is a normal part of implementation.

The right event for the right recipient

An internal move rarely deserves a customer message. navichain keeps documents and customer information close to the transport and the correct organisation.

From scan to handover

When identity, location and the current booking agree, the terminal can confirm the handover. The next role receives a clear result.

One flow through the terminal

From first receipt to confirmed handover, the team uses the same identity and current information. The next person knows what to do.
