Increasing Efficiency Of Warehouse Operations
By Glacier Computer
Efforts to improve efficiency over the past century have often focused on the reduction of waste, defined as processes and resources that represent direct costs and opportunity costs but do not add any value.

Elaborate cranes, conveyor belts and robotic systems are coordinated to perform putaway and retrieval operations with little or no human intervention. These operations are highly efficient, but the high capital requirements make them cost-prohibitive for most types of warehouse operation.

But industry professionals are discovering that a Linux-based drop-in replacement for these old DOS devices running terminal emulation clients provides real-time access to inventory applications.
