CSSI has partnered with Newcastle Systems, a leading manufacturer of powered carts and workstations, to add mobile printer carts and computing stations to its product lineup. With powered carts, it is possible to eliminate process travel waste and to improve processes such as receiving, cycle counting, inventory taking, shipping, and more. This creates a true win/win scenario — less wasted effort by the worker, and greater productivity for the business.

The Newcastle line of powered carts has multiple benefits:

• A variety of cart sizes and configurations
• CSSI can integrate with a broad variety of durable label printers, tablets, and barcode scanners.
• Newcastle’s Power Swap Nucleus with hot-swappable lithium batteries supporting up to 460 watt hours and a 5-7 year battery life / 3,000 cycles.
• Already have a cart and just need a better power source? We can supply the Power Swap Nucleus.

CSSI is ready to work with you to study your process and identify opportunities for waste reduction with mobile computing or printer stations. To learn more about options for reducing wasted foot travel and thereby improving staff productivity, please visit our page on mobile printer carts and workstations.

In an industry-leading move, CSSI Technologies has launched the enterprise mobile industry’s first lifecycle management program. With CSSI Device Lifecycle Management™, CSSI provides a service which provisions, manages, and updates Android mobile devices, removing the workload from customers’ overloaded internal IT teams.

CSSI Device Lifecycle Management™ has multiple benefits:

• Your internal IT team, which may be overloaded and/or lack proficiency in Android, is saved the burden of maintaining and provisioning Android devices.
• CSSI’s ‘white-glove’ device provisioning means that devices arrive at your facility ready to turn on and use, saving time.
• Security risks are minimized as CSSI keeps your devices synced to a standard configuration, and updated to the appropriate version of Android.

Companies replacing aging Windows Mobile devices with new Android handhelds are finding that they are unprepared to handle Android’s rapid pace of change. Falling behind means they become increasingly susceptible to security risks. We created CSSI Device Lifecycle Management™ to solve this problem.”

Just ten years ago, 70% of Americans relied on standard “dumb” phones while over a 40% still dealt with either slow or no internet. In a span of a decade, technology has seized every industry, amplifying connectivity with new opportunities along with new challenges.

As the world becomes ever more connected, supply chains become ever more dynamic, requiring a higher degree of versatility from both your workforce as well as your mobile devices. To sustain optimal levels of productivity, next-generation devices readily adapt to changing work environments, giving your team a competitive edge to take productivity on the go. Enhancing the most demanding environments, CSSI partners with Zebra Technologies, to provide the most versatile mobile device in the market – Zebra’s L10 Rugged Tablet .

Where Can Productivity Go?

According to Zebra’s 2019 Field Operations Vision Study, mobile technology enhances customer service, employee productivity, order accuracy, and overall revenues when properly integrated. However, with so many options available, it may be difficult to select a mobile device that adequately meets all your needs…until now. Revolutionizing operations with three model formats (XSLATE, XPAD, and XBOOK), Zebra’s Rugged L10 tablets foster productivity by fitting multiple uses such as:

• Inventory Management – Capture hard-to-read barcodes with a single scan using Zebra’s SE4710 scanner, preinstalled in the XPAD’s rugged handle. Manage and update stock quantities through one lightweight device, eliminating the need for multiple bulky technologies.
• Compliance Reporting – A touch-screen keyboard can stall productivity if it’s too small. A bigger keyboard impacts portability. Simplify reporting with the XBOOK’s lightweight 2-in-1 laptop replacement for heavy data entry. Complete reports while on site with a removable keyboard for easier mobility.
• Technical Support and Evidence Documentation – Equipped with a 5MP color front-camera, L10 Tablets elevate video-calls with crisp imaging for personable tech support. Empower field service workers with a 13MP color rear camera perfected for proof-of-condition/delivery/service.
• Dispatch and Route Planning – Since all L10 models are compatible with multiple networking options, tracking shipments and securing application performance is simpler thanks to long-range WiFi and 4G LTE. Create reliable communication channels within the warehouse with Push-to-Talk Express, functional right of the box on all Android models.

From stronger internet connectivity to its unmatched rugged exterior, Zebra’s L10 Tablets maximize productivity anywhere your workforce goes. Witness innovation up close when you contact us for a free assessment of your current dynamic workflows to implement a mobility solution that fits your company’s needs.

Do you face challenging customer and regulatory requirements which require error-free labels? Honeywell’s new PX940V printer with an integrated label verification will eliminate costly fines and chargebacks.

Consider: if you produced 10 bad labels per year, each resulting in a $500 fine, that would cost you $6,000/year. The ROI on the PX940V is astounding, since it essentially eliminates the possibility of bad labels.

• PX940V features integrated label verification technology which provides error-free printing and results in cost savings of $10k-$15k per printer
• PX940V enables precision printing and reduces scrap
• PX940V is easier to maintain and more reliable than past models
