IND, Zetes’ German subsidiary specialising in the production of high quality truck-mount terminals has launched the e-Craft: a new and ergonomic mobile workstation. Extremely robust, plus easy to maintain and repair.
Operations like inventory, goods in and workshop functions sometimes require the use of a mobile workstation capable of accommodating terminals, scanners and printers altogether. These processes require freedom of movement and, like most supply chain related activities, high equipment availability. In response, IND Systems GmbH has designed, developed and produced the e-Craft.
IND’s new workstation concept also makes maintenance and repairs very easy. The complete electronics system resides in a removable drawer. This means the entire drawer can be sent to Zetes’ Repair Center in the event of a malfunction and, in accordance with the maintenance agreement, a customer would receive a replacement within 24 hours. The exchange, including electronic connection, requires no tools and can be carried out quickly, even by inexperienced employees.
Robustness and manageability have also been taken into consideration. The IND e-Craft is based on a chassis of powder-coated steel with four articulated rollers and two height-adjustable surfaces. Each of these can bear loads of up to 60 kg. This means the e-Craft can carry almost any device needed for warehouse operations. A battery output of 65Ah with 24 V means the e-Craft can operate autonomously for entire shifts.
This new mobile workstation has enhanced IND’s product offering, which already includes several truck mount terminals. These have been integrated with Zetes’ solutions at many customers including Morrisons, Globus (TBC), Carlsberg, DHL, Port of Hamburg (HHLA), EDEKA, Daimler, BASF Coatings and Rockwool.
