Distribution & Warehousing

Lets work together to digitize and optimize your supply chain to meet the needs of the future while providing better insight into your operation.

Receiving ​

Shortages, discrepancies and damages happen, but they don’t have to negatively impact your downstream processes or your ability to respond to customer demand. Partnered with Zebra, Rugged Developments has receiving solutions that enable you to electronically capture data in real time, send it to your Warehouse Management System (WMS) and use Advanced Shipping Notices (ASN) and GS1 information to reconcile order details quickly upon receipt.

PUT-AWAY AND REPLENISHMENT

To ensure optimal inventory levels are maintained in the warehouse, you need to accurately document pertinent product information and location during the replenishment and put-away process. This is imperative for warehouse operations like picking, cycle counting, and reordering to run smoothly. Rugged Development has put-away and replenishment solutions paired with your Warehouse Management System (WMS). You can mobilize and empower your workforce to see exactly where something is stored and how much is available.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Performing cycle counts are essential, however manually counting takes time as well as a lot of resources. Rugged Developments mobile warehouse inventory solutions manage your inventory in real time, keeping an accurate count and location of everything from raw materials to finished goods.

VOICE-DIRECTED PICKING

Whether you have a distribution center that specializes in high velocity picking or a warehouse full of pallets and cases, Rugged Development has multi-modal and voice-directed picking solutions allow you to experience both speed and accuracy in either situation. Accuracy is essential to ensure consumer safety and satisfaction, as well as inventory and materials management. Using the power of voice, scanning, and visual cues, workers can perform hands-free tasks and dramatically increase speed, without sacrificing accuracy.

PACKING AND STAGING

Packing and staging are the most hands-on jobs in your warehouse and distribution center’s shipping department. Any distraction or error can lead to an incorrect shipment and dissatisfied customer. To ensure accuracy at this critical point, we have hands-free technology that confirms orders with a quick scan, prints a shipping label with the correct destination, and allows you to continue tracking each package to the right truck.

Using wearable or fixed-mount presentations, workers in the packing and staging area can focus on the task at hand so they can be more productive and accurate.

Capture data from 1D or 2D barcodes and RFID so you can continue to evolve your warehouse operations and ensure compliance and traceability with the right mix of data capture options.  

Achieve flawless fulfillment by doing a final check at the end of the line to ensure that each order has been accurately picked, packed, and staged for the right destination.

Cross Docking & Shipping

Coordinating cross-docking activities require a high degree of visibility of assets to ensure efficient and accurate movement of both goods, equipment, and people. Rugged Development and Zebra’s mobile solutions help ensure that right shipments are put on the right trailer in the right order. Your loading dock is the last touch point before goods are shipped to the customer. Eliminate many of your manual processes and ensure goods get on the right truck in the right order, while optimizing trailer space. Rugged Development has scanning, RFID tags and readers, and camera technology with analytics software provide you with the automation you need to effectively verify shipping details, trailer assignments, and space utilization to confidently ensure flawless fulfillment.
