A3 Technologies Completes Wireless Installation
A3 Technologies has just completed the deployment of a new wireless data collection system for a major chemical manufacturer in Georgia, Chemtall Incorporated, a division on SNF Inc.
(PRWEB) February 27, 2005 -- Chemtall’s new inventory tracking system, based on the Dolphin 9500 from Hand Held Products and centered around a Cisco wireless infrastructure, interacts directly with Chemtall’s MRP system for inventory control and logistical tracking.
“This is a great example of how A3’s Mobile Product Solutions and Custom Engineering experience enable clients to accurately track their assets and products”, stated Alan Morris, Vice President of A3 Technologies. “Chemtall needed a portable wireless scanning system which would seamlessly collect data at the dock, track assets through the manufacturing process, process for shipping, and print a label on the go. This process was mapped out in detail with Chemtall to accurately match their business process. A3’s Custom Engineering team created the application for the client devices as well as integrated A3’s Remote Server Application for handling the real time exchange of data in and out of the customer’s database.”
For the Wireless Site Survey, Chemtall used A3’s Professional Services Group to test the Warehouse and Manufaturing Areas for an efficient coverage pattern for uninterrupted connectivity to the network. Due to the varying size of inventory products and location, multiple environment scenarios had to be modeled and tested to insure wireless coverage.
To complete the project, the team from A3 provided classroom training for the employees on how to operate the system including:
-Instruction on the operation of the Dolphin 9500
-How to use the custom .Net Application
-How to use the Zebra Bluetooth Printers
The IT department received additional training on supporting the database and administrative practices. A3 was able to provide all of those services – on time and on budget.”
