Case Study: Renault-Boom tracks shipping containers more efficiently with Datalogic PowerScan PM8300-DK

Renault-Boom tracks 1,400 roll-containers with Datalogic

Renault-Boom, a major auto parts distributor, faced significant costs from losing its roll-containers used to ship parts to dealerships. Their old system lacked tracking, requiring them to frequently purchase new containers to replace lost ones. To solve this, they partnered with Datalogic to implement a new bar code tracking system using the PowerScan™ PM8300-DK reader.

Datalogic's solution involved affixing barcodes to each container and using the rugged PowerScan readers to scan them upon dispatch and return. This allowed Renault-Boom to track each container's status and location in real time via a central server. The result was the elimination of the previous significant loss of assets, improved container condition tracking, and a more efficient process for their operators, all achieved through a simple and user-friendly system from Datalogic.
