The advantages of mobile powered workstations
Mobile powered workstations (MPW) can boost efficiency at loading bays, as illustrated by Southgate Global, an operational logistics provider.
With consumers and B2B customers expecting faster and more efficient order handling and deliveries, warehouses can no longer afford to have inventory sat at docks waiting to be processed. MPWs can help with this issue.
Phil O’Driscoll, head of innovation & new product development at Southgate Global: “By implementing an MPW at the dock door which has its own integrated power system used to power laptops, barcode printers or scanners, you can reduce your processing time for each delivery by dealing with all the stock entry requirements and ERP updates at the point and time of arrival.”
Southgate’s product has been implemented globally and has calculated it can cut businesses costs by GBP 5,691 per operative per year. (mk)
