Part of the solution B/S/H required was to upgrade the vehicle mount computers and Scanners on their fork lift trucks, used in the picking of large domestic appliances at its Kettering Distribution centre.

Requiring specific setup needs which included the retaining of critical settings even after a cold start and a minimal running set up time for operators, the devices also needed a high level of ruggedness. So the dedicated AM Labels team set about and sourced a solution to B/S/H’s specific needs, this included; Motorola VC5090 vehicle mount computers and LS3578-ER rugged long range cordless barcode scanners. These were all configured by the AM Labels in-house technical team to meet all of B/S/H requirements.

Paul Shanks, Operations Manager at BSH, adds: “It’s vital that our new equipment is easy to use and maintain and has excellent service provision. This was a difficult brief to set any supplier, but AML rose to the challenge and exceeded our highest expectations. Whatever we wanted, they provided, and we have been truly impressed with the comprehensive after-sales and service provided.”

Jelly is a leading supplier in business mobile and fixed line communications, committed to making them less expensive, less complicated and more enjoyable. Jelly needed to source a cordless barcode scanner that could connect to a HTC smart phone without the need for third party software.

AML rose to the challenge and after sorting out the usual suspects into a neat line up, decided on the Opticon OPN2002 as the best scanner for Jelly. After much testing and research AML established the best way to combine the Bluetooth scanner and smart phone to rival the traditional and costly industry-standard handheld computers.

The Opticon OPN2002 is Opticon’s smallest Bluetooth barcode scanner, measuring just 33 x 63mm, and weighing only 30 grams. Simply scan a barcode by pressing the large button and it automatically sends the data via Bluetooth to the HTC smart phone without the need for adding third party software onto the smart phone, making deployment a breeze.

The dedicated AML team configured the handheld computers to operate to their exact needs when used to pick small appliances and spare parts at Milton Keynes. This has improved simplicity of use and user confidence. While the Kettering distribution centre has installed new rugged cordless barcode scanners and vehicle mount computers on its fork lift trucks, which are used in the picking of large domestic appliances.  AML also ensured that all the equipment was installed to retain all the critical settings even after a cold start, and required the minimum running set-up time for the operators.

Galvey provides a delivery service selling cakes, drinks, sweets and bread products to hospitals, retail chains, airports, colleges and corner shops, predominately any retailer who is not in the position to buy in large quantities of goods. Galvey operates a sale or return service replenishing stock and exchanging goods that have gone out of date code.

Challenge

Manor Bakeries were relying on an outdated electronic field sales system, which was no longer supported or produced. When Galvey was formed they were unable to take over the existing Manor Bakeries field sales system as it was no longer supported.  As it would have been impractical for Galvey to revert to a paper based system, it was clear that a new system was required.

There was a need for a cost effective van sales system that would allow mobile sales people to carry out the full range of transactions at the point of sale, and to communicate the information wirelessly to the back office system.

Solution

AM Labels fully analysed Galvey’s requirements and in particular the invoicing requirements of Manor Bakeries and recommended FIELDlink, a unique on route van sales system.

AM Labels were able to provide a solution consisting of a PC administration software to manage customer products and discount information and to allocate calls to routes. The handheld terminal software allowed the operator to take orders and either print a delivery note (credit customers) or an invoice (cash customers). The handheld software keeps track of stock levels on the van and also allowed payments to be collected.

Benefits

• Facility to download customer, stock, pricing and call details to handheld computer/PDA
• Upload call information from PDA, including issues and receipts
• Maintain stock, price and customer records
• Seamless connectivity between terminals and software back at base
• Stock enquiries
• Print invoices and credits
• Print reports

Lawrence  says “We chose AM Labels Ltd because we had the most confidence that they would provide a system which was the most suitable and cost effective.” He goes on to say “FIELDlink has enabled us to eliminate the burden of manual paper work and the miscalculations and human errors inevitable with a manual system. This gives our customers confidence that we are using a secure system.”

Brighton Best required a customised system to print product labels for screws and fittings, the system comprised of 4 PCs, 4 Zebra printers and Nicelabel software. The software needed to connect to a existing database containing details of all of their products.

KGH had two outdated Tec printers printing slide labels in the Pathology Labs that were costing a great deal of money to service and fix ongoing problems. It was obvious that these printers needed to be replaced. The other problem was that the printers were driven by out of date software using an aged version of the Tec programming language. KGH were also having problems with the slide labels sticking to each other during printing cycles. The label material needed to be synthetic and extremely durable.

Solution:
AM Labels sourced a solution to the coding requirements through the use of Nicelabel software. AM Labels were able to translate the code to work with a newer range of label printers. AM Labels supplied them with Zebra Z4M printers, Nicelabel software and Zebra branded labels and ribbons. Once the system was installed all staff were then trained on the use and maintenance of the Zebra printers.

Key Benefits:

Immediate benefits were apparent once the new system was installed and fully functioning.

• Less wastage from slide labels
• Lower breakdowns
• Lower cost of repairs
• Saved cost – no need to rewrite software to use with new label printers

Arnhem Wharf Primary School, a state community school with over 430 pupils between the ages of three and eleven. The school is one of 102 schools in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

By 2010 a new government standard, the Financial Management Standard In Schools (FMSIS), should be implemented in all Primary, Middle, Secondary and Special schools. Part of the standard requires all schools to have an efficient way of managing and tracking their assets. Arnhem Wharf School therefore needed to come into line with the standard by finding a way to record all school assets accurately.

Solution:
AML provided Arnhem Wharf School with PASS Locator asset tracking software, which consisted of three elements:

• PC based administration software to record and track all the schools assets and owners.
• Pre-printed barcoded asset labels with an individual barcode for each asset to allow easy identification and electronic recording by scanning the assets barcode, eliminating manual paperwork.
• Handheld barcode scanner: easily portable so that assets can be recorded electronically at any location on the school grounds. In addition, AM Labels also provided on-site installation and software training.

A one-year’s support contract, including additional telephone support to assist with any post-training questions, was also included for added peace of mind.

Key Benefits:

• Accurate electronic asset tracking
• Easy transfer of data from handheld scanner to PC based administration system
• Portable data collection terminal with built-in barcode scanner to enable items to be scanned and recorded anywhere on school grounds
• Durable barcoded asset labels, designed to last the lifetime of the asset
• Records automatically organised, and can be sorted in a variety of ways to give clear visibility
• The ability to organise auditing at regular intervals
• Easy to install and use
• Everything you need available from AML – no need to source elements from different providers

AM Labels Limited have already successfully installed the PASS Locator asset tracking software into several schools around the UK, including The Gryphon School in Dorset.
