Mobile Resource Management Systems Overview

Tags:
supply chain management

Overview Mobile resource is a "Catch-all" term for any number of physical assets such as returnable containers, equipment, trucks, trailers, etc. Regardless of their shape or size, mobile resources and assets may represent a sizable investment by companies, which have enough real, intrinsic, regulatory or strategic value to warrant tracking. Content tracking, as a software technology for pallet content identification and management has been a standard feature of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) for some time. While we are in the fourth and fifth generation of supply chain execution systems for warehouse management, few software systems have focused on the tracking and management of the assets themselves.
