Glasses in the Distribution Center - How it is helpful | LoadProof

When I first saw Google glass, it took me back to 1995 and the release of the action film Terminator 2 – Judgment Day. A bunch of us sophomores got all excited about the movie and went to see it as a big group with much anticipation. The scene that got deeply engrained in my mind was the Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger entering the bar scene, starts scanning the objects around him to find an outfit that matches his size.

That scene became the holy grail of augmented reality: in which a wearable or other device makes the person wearing it by disseminating information about objects in the vicinity in order to add immense value. Imagine going to a trade show and your glasses scanning passersby, providing name, title, company and a mini biography, and maybe more: a glimpse of what problem is keeping them up at night, what goal brought them to the trade show, and what they want to get out of the event.

By having this type of information through a wearable device, you would be able to have a more useful conversation with each person. Every attendee at the trade show spent big money to be there and is working on pressing problems that need to get solved. How they spend time on the trade show floor can make or break the success of their year.

Optimize Your Warehouse Replenishments with these Best Practices | LoadProof

This best practice is about making replenishments inside the warehouse. It is important to stay on the top off replenishments always in your warehouse. If you have just one shift that you are running it would help a lot. If you spend extra hours in the evening and then do the topping off all your active locations it will be helpful for the pickers in the next shift. In the next morning when the pickers come after all the locations will be full and they can start picking right away without wasting time in replenishments. If you have two shifts running either choose the second shift or have a third shift if possible and keep doing the top off replenishments. There are active replenishment locations and these active locations have Min and Max. Whenever your inventory falls below min, replenishments are going to get triggered or it will get triggered if there is an order that needs a lot of picks from a particular location. This will drive the location down which will trigger a repleni

How to Eliminate Warehouse Chargebacks? | LoadProof

This is another interesting dynamic on LoadProof. The managers that we talked to, they hear about our product and “they’re like wow this is great, want to take advantage of this product in my distribution center or warehouse. They join the demo and one of the things we ask is how much is their chargeback . At the time they don’t know it’s just sometimes fascinating to see this dynamic. The organizations that have been operating all along they’re so siloed. They’ve so siloed and this warehouse manager, he’s operating a pretty good-sized facility. It was like 400K plus a squad for DC shipping, a lot of orders. This gentleman didn’t know about the chargebacks because it’s just that’s how they’ve been operating all along. The chargeback was something that was with the finance department, I mean obviously retailers when they pay the invoices they don’t pay the full invoice, they automatically take a portion of that because of these damages or this chargeback situation. It took awhile fo

How to Improve Quality in Supply Chain | LoadProof

I would think that electronics OEMs or distributors would be leading the charge toward quality, and I’m sure many of them are. However, the first time I encountered a quality department that did extensive quality control it was in a New Hampshire distribution center (DC) that served the apparel industry. For this manufacturer, the goal was to make fairly priced clothing that delivered good quality to middle-aged women. The Director of Quality at the warehouse, along with her team, did such a good job that this retailer was known for its quality. To meet their quality goals, workers spent a lot of time measuring the tops and pants against strict criteria, checking the cut of the pieces, figuring out how the pieces would look on real people, and making sure that the colors were good for a variety of skin tones. They thought of everything. They took pictures and shared infractions with their vendors across the supply chain. All DC’s follow quality processes. Typically, there are two typ
