Today retailers, supply chain and transportation and logistics managers are under intense pressure to closely track andmanage inventory and shipments to ensure the right material is in the right place at the right time.

Stores with inaccurate inventory can experience frequent out-of-stocks, lost sales and poor customer service, thereby negatively impacting customer loyalty. Compensating with excess safety stock can lead to markdowns, resulting in lower overall profit margins. An imprecise inventory count also hampers the ability to offer omnichannel experience.

Most organizations that use manual or barcode workflows for inventory do so infrequently because these methods are time consuming and labor intensive.

Transportation and logistics workers can instantly capture the information of incoming shipments and identify the right destination dock through IH45; any exceptions can be handled instantly. With Tag Finder mode, the IH45 can easily pinpoint the location of a specific package, pallet or box. When a truck arrives with an incoming shipment, a dock worker can quickly identify which pallet(s) need to be removed.

The new Honeywell IH45 RFID reader, combined with RFID tagging, offers an easier solution to keep track of high moving inventory with less effort. Easy to use and ergonomically balanced, when paired with a Honeywell mobile computer, the IH45 offers fast, accurate UHF RFID inventory capture and convenient, integrated 1D/2D barcode capability.

IH45 has features like tool less battery change without having to remove mobile device, direct USB connection to mobile device and multiple charging options.
