Eliminate Lost Warehouse Devices with SMG3 EDGE PinPoint

In fast-paced warehouse environments, mobile devices such as barcode scanners, tablets, and rugged handheld computers are essential tools for productivity. However, misplaced or lost warehouse devices can quickly lead to operational bottlenecks, increased downtime, and costly replacements.

With SMG3 EDGE PinPoint, you can locate, track, and recover lost warehouse devices in real-time, reducing disruption and improving efficiency. SMG3 EDGE PinPoint ensures that every device remains visible, secure, and ready for use—keeping your operations running smoothly.

How SMG3 EDGE PinPoint Works 

SMG3 EDGE PinPoint provides instant visibility into the location and status of any warehouse device, including mobile barcode scanners, rugged tablets, and industrial handhelds.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Device Location Tracking – Identify and recover misplaced warehouse devices using Wi-Fi-based location mapping and Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) beacons.
• Remote Device Ringing – Activate an audible ring to locate a missing device, even in noisy warehouse environments.
• Proximity Indicators – Use a Geiger-counter-style meter to direct workers to lost devices.
• Offline Tracking with BLE Beacons – Even if a device is powered off, secondary BLE beacon technology continues to transmit its last known location for up to several days.

By implementing SMG3 EDGE PinPoint, warehouses can dramatically reduce the time spent searching for lost devices and minimize costly replacements.

The Cost of Lost Warehouse Devices

Without an effective warehouse device tracking solution, misplaced mobile devices lead to:

• Increased downtime – Employees spend valuable time searching for missing scanners or tablets.
• Disrupted workflows – Order fulfillment and inventory management suffer when essential tools go missing.
• High replacement costs – Warehouses often replace lost devices unnecessarily, increasing operational expenses.

With SMG3 EDGE PinPoint, warehouses can avoid these costly setbacks by automating device tracking and implementing proactive recovery strategies.
