Internal Package Delivery and Asset Tracking

“Minnesota State University, Mankato has been using Portable Technology Solutions' products in its Shipping and Receiving Department for several years. Using the carriers barcode the shipments arriving at our dock are scanned in as they are received, scanned again when sorted, and again when delivered. This has helped us track each package from the time the it arrives at our dock until it is received by the final customer.”

“Our Experience with PTS products in shipping and receiving influenced our decision purchase additional scanners and updated PTS software to use in the development of our asset tracking system. PTS products help us to personalize our tracking systems and keep them simple and tailored to our current needs, while leaving plenty of room for our future needs to be met."

ResponseForce1

Equipment and Personnel Tracking

“ResponseForce1 is in the business of Emergency Management. We typically get busy when a major disaster happens. One of our core services is the management of large base camps where thousands of emergency responders are sheltered, fed and cared for. Over time RF1 has developed a comprehensive system, we have coined “RF1 TripWire”, to aid us in operating base camps.

The RF1 TripWire is used to track the whereabouts of responders and the assets they use to perform their mission. A key component of the RF1 TripWire system is the suite of PTS applications, which include TracerPlus Mobile Client, Desktop, ODBC Link and Wireless Server. At RF1 when the going gets tough we have come to rely not only on the TracerPlus software but also on the very reliable and highly regarded technical expertise residents at Portable Technology Solutions.”

JVV Logistics

High Value Maritime Shipping Operations

“We needed something that could give us control of the customization process and allow for changes on site and at the time we needed. We found PTS TracerPlus, a mobile data solution which is fully configurable and can adapt as our ideas develop, as well as providing support for different connectivity models.”

“We were easily able to create the form using the TracerPlus [Desktop] designer, and gather the data using TracerPlus on the MC75. With the ability to manage a live data feed, we can not only track the amount of cargo in a hold, but the position and condition of that cargo, helping us narrow down that margin of error. We can now prepare automatically generated stowage plans in time to deliver before the vessel sails, giving us a tremendous boost in efficiency and time/cost savings.”

Ce De Candy (AKA Smarties)

Food Traceability / Manufacturing

“We needed a solution that would allow us to comply with the FDA mandate, but at the same time, not disrupt the manufacturing processes we already had in place. The Motorola/PTS enterprise mobility solution met our firm timing and budget requirements, increased our productivity, and improved data quality and process efficiencies, while providing the superior ruggedness that is essential in our warehouse environment.”

“Ce De Candy implemented this enterprise mobility solution from Motorola and PTS because of the continuous customer service and support we received -- from purchase decision through deployment.”

TracerPlus has allowed us to take control of our assets as they are shipped around the world to various job sites and back.
