Business Benefits

The Radio Frequency (RF) system provides Operators using hand-held RF devices with the ability to access specific functions.

If the Active/Directed Put Away and Space Management functions are enabled, then the system will determine whether a specific location has a usable remaining capacity (i.e., volume and weight) for stock being received and put away.
