"Our customers are constantly looking for opportunities to increase the performance of their warehouse and for ways to drive existing returns from their current warehouse infrastructure investments," says Doug Brown, LXE director of product management. "And voice is one of those rare technologies that quickly accomplish both objectives. LXE and Aldata see that there is an additional layer of performance improvements and returns that can be garnered when customers couple voice with other traditional and non-traditional data collection methodologies."

"Using ALDATA G.O.L.D. Mobile, our customers have realized greater efficiencies from the warehouse to the shop floor by leveraging multi-modal capabilities that combine voice, scanning and traceability on a single terminal," said Brendan Lowe, vice president, North America, Aldata Solution. "Our customers have optimized processes associated with replenishment and inventory management, and the lessons learned offer valuable insight for retailers that are looking for ways to improve their supply chain operations."

In 2007, LXE introduced the ARIA technology framework (Adaptive Recognition and Information Assurance). ARIA is the carefully selected fusion of different data collection technologies (scanning, voice, RFID and others) in a manner that allows for new streamlined processes that will enable warehouse operators to achieve new levels of productivity and accuracy. ARIA ensures users have the tools that best enable them to do their specific jobs faster and more accurately by automating tasks to the greatest possible degree.

"The integration of voice and traditional data collection methods is the first step on the path to fulfilling the ARIA vision," says Brown. "Companies are doing this right now, and this webinar is a great chance for everyone to learn how it works and why it's important."
