NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Distribution center, loss prevention and in-store point-of-sale device managers can now automate management of expensive handheld scanners, data terminals and other critical assets with Apex Supply Chain Technologies Axcess smart locker systems. The intelligent, self-service, Cloud-based lockers automate the check-out and check-in process and provide visibility into asset inventory and item status to improve productivity and reduce waste.
“Our systems help manage assets in a way that is both efficient and cost-effective,” said Apex CEO Kent Savage. “Intelligently deploying automation technology in this way is not only good business; it is rapidly becoming necessary for organizations to control costs and remain competitive.”
Axcess lockers are installed at strategic locations throughout a facility. Secure, individual compartments automatically manage check-out and check-in of handheld assets required for distribution center and retail operations, as well as recharging functions. Employees use PIN codes and ID badges to check-out and check-in items from an automated station in the DC or store location.
Apex Trajectory Cloud manages the check-out/ check-in process and provides real-time visibility, so managers always know when an item was checked out, by whom, its current condition, when it’s returned, or if it is not returned, when it can be expected.
Apex’s Axcess automated locker systems replace costly, inefficient manual processes, eliminating human error and wasteful tasks from the management of mission-critical assets. Productivity is increased by streamlining the asset distribution process, and replacement costs for missing equipment are reduced. Lost “walk and search” time, delays due to unusable or under-charged equipment and supervisor involvement can be reclaimed and re-focused on more productive activities. Management of compliance, calibration, certification and warranty items is automated, allowing personnel to focus on revenue generating tasks.
Apex is currently offering a 60-Day enterprise wide “Test Drive” of its Axcess automated locker systems. For more information, contact DCGameChanger@apexsupplychain.com, visit apexsupplychain.com, or stop by the company’s booth #825 at the 2015 NRF Big Show.
