Move more, ship accurately, see everything.

Where the record gets created in logistics & warehousing

Accuracy and throughput are in direct conflict. Checking every carton by hand slows the dock; not checking sends the wrong pallet, and the cost lands as a return, a chargeback, or a lost account.

• Inbound receiving against the advance shipping notice

  What physically happens

  A trailer is unloaded and pallets cross the receiving door.

  What is captured

  A dock-door portal reads the cartons on the pallet in one pass and compares them to the expected shipment.

  What Mobi does with it

  Mobi Inventory records the receipt and raises shortages and overages at the door rather than at the next count.

  Where the result lands

  The WMS posts the receipt and releases the stock for putaway.

• Directed putaway and location accuracy

  What physically happens

  A pallet is moved from receiving to a storage location.

  What is captured

  The operator scans the pallet and the location, so the WMS location is confirmed by a physical act rather than assumed.

  What Mobi does with it

  Mobi Inventory holds the location confirmations inside the approved deployment.

  Where the result lands

  The WMS owns the slotting and directs the move.

• Scan-verified picking and packing

  What physically happens

  An order is picked from multiple locations and consolidated.

  What is captured

  Ring scanners and handhelds verify each pick against the order line before it is added to the carton.

  What Mobi does with it

  Mobi Inventory records pick confirmations where the deployment includes them; the WMS keeps directing the pick path.

  Where the result lands

  The WMS owns the pick path and the order state.

• Outbound dock-door verification

  What physically happens

  A finished pallet crosses the shipping door onto a trailer.

  What is captured

  The portal reads every tagged carton on the pallet and compares it to the load before the trailer is closed.

  What Mobi does with it

  Mobi Inventory raises the discrepancy while the pallet is still on the dock.

  Where the result lands

  The WMS confirms the shipment and the TMS releases the load.

The system behind those workflows

1. 1
   Physical capture

   A pallet or carton crosses a dock door, or an operator scans at the pick face.

   A portal read has to complete while a forklift is still moving through it. That is a physical constraint on antenna placement, tag position on the carton, and load geometry, and it is measured before the portal is built.

   How it is captured

   Fixed RFID portals with barcode scanning and wearables at the pick face

   Hardware at the capture point

   • ·Dock-door portals, readers, and antennas — Read a full pallet as it crosses the door without stopping the forklift (opens the Arrowhead store in a new tab)
   • ·Ring scanners and wearables — Verify picks with both hands still on the carton (opens the Arrowhead store in a new tab)
   • ·Rugged mobile computers — Run receiving, putaway, picking, and cycle counting on the floor (opens the Arrowhead store in a new tab)
   • ·Industrial and mobile printers — Print pallet, carton, and shipping labels at volume and at the point of work (opens the Arrowhead store in a new tab)

2. 2
   Mobi software

   What Mobi does with what was captured

   Mobi Inventory records receipts, confirmations, and discrepancies. Integrations carries them to the WMS. Print Studio produces the carton and pallet label formats the portals depend on.

   Current limits

   Mobi Inventory is available today and does not replace the WMS or direct the pick path. Generally available multi-facility stock balances are not part of it.

3. 3
   System of record

   Where the result has to land

   Receipts, confirmations, and discrepancies are posted to the WMS as they happen, so the dock decision is made against the current state rather than a nightly file.

   Systems this connects to

   WMS · ERP · TMS · Order management

   What you provide

   The WMS interface and owner, the advance shipping notice feed, the tolerance for a discrepancy, and the exception handling process on the dock.

4. 4
   Delivery and lifecycle

   Who builds it, who runs it, and who answers when it breaks

   1. Discovery on the dock and the floor
   2. Load and tag read testing
   3. Portal and read-point design
   4. Label and print specification
   5. Installation around the operation
   6. Integration, training, and support

   What Arrowhead supplies and configures

   • Read testing on your actual loads, wrap, and carton materials
   • Portal, antenna, and read-point design for the door geometry
   • Carton and pallet label specification and production
   • Reader, scanner, wearable, and printer supply, staged and configured
   • Installation scheduled around the operating pattern
   • WMS integration, operator training, and in-house repair

   What you provide

   • Dock and floor access during operating windows
   • Representative loads, wrap, and cartons for read testing
   • Power, network, and structural mounting at each door
   • The WMS interface owner and a test environment
   • The dock exception process when a load does not match

   When something stops working

   Arrowhead supports the portals, readers, scanners, wearables, printers, and its own integrations, and repairs hardware in-house in Chandler, Arizona. The WMS remains with its owner and the boundary is documented.

What the proof actually shows

Every claim below is labeled with who produced it. Arrowhead delivering a system, a vendor publishing a result from another partner's deployment, a credential a third party issued us, software we run ourselves, a capability we offer, and a direction we have not shipped are different things, and they are labeled differently.

• General capability

  Portal read performance is measured on your loads and wrap before a door is built.

  Standard Arrowhead survey practice on dock-door projects; it is not a published customer result.

• Vendor-supported result

  Zebra Technologies publishes warehouse and distribution RFID and scanning references.

  Published by Zebra Technologies from deployments other partners delivered. Arrowhead did not deliver them.

• Accredited capability

  Zebra printers, mobile computers, scanners, and RFID readers are repaired in-house in Chandler, Arizona.

  Arrowhead is an authorized Zebra Elite Service Center with Zebra-certified repair technicians. Turnaround depends on model, failure, parts, and coverage.
