Bally Technologies Improves Inventory Management

Logistics Insight Asia - Industry News, 30/1/2009

Bally Technologies is a gaming company that designs, manufactures, operates and distributes slot and video machines to a global gaming industry.

It has implemented a Warehouse Management System (WMS) by Manhattan Associates and has turned to Intermec and Ryzex to upgrade its hardware to the Intermec CK31 mobile computer and PB50 mobile printer.

By using the CK31 to track and streamline warehouse operations including picking, packing, shipping and receiving, Bally Technologies can now adjust its inventory in real-time during cycle counts, no longer having to wait until after the count to make necessary adjustments.

Additionally, the real-time inventory transactions make it easier for schedulers and buyers to make informed decisions based on the current warehouse status.

The increased scanning functionality of the CK31 with Intermec’s EX imaging technology allows workers to scan virtually any kind of bar code, in any orientation, at a range of distances.

Items can now be scanned without having to climb a ladder or bring down a pallet, saving time and improving safety in the warehouse.
