Internet of Scanning®
In today´s industry, warehouse management and ordering processes are not fully automated, that means even in 2018 columns of numbers are typed down manually in many material orders and transferred via phone, fax or e-mail – this costs valuable time, is faulty and absolutely unnecessary!
With its PANMOBIL product range for portable solutions, FEIG ELECTRONIC offers with the "Smart Order Solution" a smarter way to place orders. Through the use of mobile hybrid scanners, the ordering process is brought directly to the warehouse shelf or the workshop and the product to be ordered is scanned directly. Even automatic ordering directly from catalogues is possible if each article is assigned a tiny 2D code. This leads to error-free orders, a drastic reduction of returns and, by simplifying the ordering process, sales increases by up to 35%.

Source of errors in ordering
- Any false order ensures cost and trouble.
- Manual orders are prone to errors because article numbers are forgotten, confounded, noted illegibly, or falsely transmitted.
- Orders due to specified order intervals lead to errors or overstock, as the real-time requirements are not recorded.
- All these errors lead to returns, additional shipping and handling costs and dissatisfied customers.
Smart Order Solution
Smart Order Solution is an innovative ordering system that facilitates fast and correct orders. Using mobile RFID / barcode scanners like smartSCANNDY® or powerlineECCO® from FEIG enables anyone to make complex orders without errors. Scanning can be done either from a catalogue, directly at a product itself or at the warehouse shelf.
By pushing only one button the code will be scanned and the product will be added to the ordering cart. After all the desired products have been detected, the scanner needs to be connected via USB to any windows computer with internet connection and after only a few seconds the shopping cart is 100% correctly transferred to the desired web-shop or is part of an e-mail order.
Internet of Scanning®
A good ordering system is characterized by its flexibility. The "Internet of Scanning®" means, that barcode and RFID scanners are equipped with a middleware that transfers the scanned data exact to the location where you want it - without installation or manual effort.
The Smart Order Solution does not require any special software or drivers for the application. With the “EMMWare Scout” middleware already installed on all mobile barcode / RFID scanners, every user can choose which web address, e-mail address, FTP server or ERP system the data should be transferred to after scanning. In addition, the devices have all the transfer options that are used in businesses today, no matter if wireless, Bluetooth, mobile or USB and connect automatically with the existing technology in operation.
