A Advantech Case Study
Swire Coca‑Cola Taiwan, Coca‑Cola’s bottling partner in Taiwan, needed to modernize warehousing to manage thousands of SKUs, ensure FIFO freshness and handle channel‑specific packaging (e.g., limited‑edition bottles for specific retailers). Their new Warehouse Management System required rugged, forklift‑mounted hardware that could survive Taiwan’s cold, humid conditions, constant vibration, 24‑hour operation and reliable ERP connectivity — a need that led them to work with Advantech and its industrial tablet solution.
Advantech supplied its reinforced PWS‑770 industrial tablet PCs with exclusive in‑car holders, hot‑swappable batteries, robust wireless communications and IP‑rated protection, and supported the project with rapid service and trial units. After 1.5 months of testing Advantech devices were deployed across Taoyuan, Kaohsiung and Wang Tian warehouses, enabling real‑time inventory management, more accurate channel‑specific picking and continuous 24‑hour operation — with no reported system instability since implementation.
