Körber has introduced Körber InSight Contact Tracer to mitigate and handle the impact of coronavirus in distribution operations. Contact Tracer tracks the locations of people, devices, orders and the corresponding use of equipment throughout the warehouse, protecting workers and operations.
Contact Tracer works with data from a warehouse management system (WMS) to monitor the potential movement of coronavirus. This can be adjusted per each company’s unique needs. Examples include tracking the cycle of events and locations of an employee, devices (headsets, scanners, radios), equipment (pallet jacks, forklifts, carts) and inbound and outbound orders throughout the warehouse—narrowed to a specific timeframe. Additionally, companies have the insights to inform customers about any possible exposure to the contents of their orders.
The tool provides a simplified means to detect direct and indirect exposure to coronavirus and determine low to high-risk scenarios for warehouse products and people.
