Barcode scanning is commonplace, yet scanners often prove costly while still failing to improve efficiency and workflow speed. Moving barcode and QR code scanning to a smartphone or tablet enables key benefits, including:
Unplanned downtime takes a heavy toll on manufacturers — as much as $50 billion annually. But preventive maintenance can keep production on schedule. By keeping workers informed with alerts about potential failures, mobile devices act as powerful edge processors, helping workers:
When workers have a single tool to tackle all their administrative needs on-the-go, it’s easier to keep production flowing. By streamlining processes from punching in and out to requesting time off, mobile devices act as a single place for workers to access tasks and manage their activities.
Customer-centric production means little tolerance for defects. Versatile mobile devices help ensure optimal quality in a number of ways, including:
Every microsecond matters when a machine is about to fail. Hybrid computing — a mix of cloud and on-premise data processing centers — ensures almost zero latency in computing and alerts. While machine learning algorithms still reside on the cloud, mobile devices can deliver more computing power directly from the production floor.
Insight and Samsung offer best-in-class devices designed to help companies pivot seamlessly to smart factory capabilities. With the Samsung Tab Active2 and Samsung Galaxy Note9, workers can access exceptional processing capabilities on the go. With the Samsung DeX, you get a complete desktop experience from a docked mobile device, for powerful functionality with all the benefits of advanced mobility.
