Company`s Warehouse Management solution supports new P4T Series products for
increased productivity and inventory accuracy
MILWAUKEE--(Business Wire)--
RedPrairie Corporation, a productivity software provider, announced today that
it will provide mobile label printing and RFID execution applications in its
Warehouse Management solution, allowing individual warehouse workers to encode
and tag shipments. 

The new release supports the Zebra P4T Series Mobile Thermal Transfer RFID
Printer/Encoder, and provides the ability to achieve new levels of efficiency,
velocity, and accuracy in supply chain execution. The new printers/encoders can
be carried and mounted in locations ranging from an employee`s belt to a lift
truck, allowing operators to execute transactions more naturally, efficiently
and effectively. Thermal transfer mobile label printing, RFID, voice
recognition, and wearable computing included in the RedPrairie application will
enable new business processes, and provide for easier tracking and organization.


"We are very excited to see RedPrairie embrace RFID mobile printing," Carolyn
Ricci, Zebra`s Sr. Product Manager for RFID Printing says, "Having an industry
leader behind the concept helps validate our belief that RFID mobile printing in
the warehouse will create additional efficiencies in supply chain execution." 

The solution will be supported additionally by leading RFID and barcode reader
providers, with handheld computers supplied by reputable vendors. RedPrairie`s
RFID compliant software used to support SAM`s Club and Wal-Mart compliance
mandates also supports the RFID mobile printing solution. 

"With Zebra and RedPrairie solutions, companies will be able to better leverage
in combination, emerging real time technologies like RFID and Voice to optimize
people and processes," comments Gary Morgan, RedPrairie Vice President Technical
Services, "The Zebra RFID mobile printing concept immediately separates Zebra
from their competition and shows the depth and flexibility of RedPrairie`s
solution. We are aligned with a unique partner to provide extremely effective
solutions for our customers." 

Zebra RP4T Mobile Printers/Encoders offer broad functionality at an affordable
price point, making the products well-suited to lower duty cycle EPC Gen 2 RFID
compliance and closed-loop RFID - applications that are ideal for mobile
printing deployments The RP4T Series printer can support various label sizes,
and Zebra offer RFID and non-RFID printing options for the mobile thermal
transfer printer family which is available in North America and EMEA. 

Mobile Printing Benefits:

* Mobile printing based processes can incorporate technologies including Voice
and RFID that interactively work to create and collect data for the warehouse
operator. This increases productivity by allowing operators to focus on moving
inventory. 
* Printing labels during picking helps ensure data integrity. Labels are printed
in real time during the execution of the task, permitting the warehouse operator
to execute and label the product as requested, increasing inventory accuracy. 
* Mobile printing-based processes are more intuitive, easy-to-use,
easy-to-understand, and can be combined with RF and voice warehouse solutions
for reduced operator training time. 
* Mobile printing provides the right products available for sale, and eliminates
error corrections processing in receiving and invoicing paperwork due to
mis-labeling and mis-shipments. As a result, customers are more satisfied, since
they receive the right product in the right amount.
