4 Evolution of AIDC Hardware

5 Economies of scale >300 mio in 1 year <150 mio in 30 years 2016 Economy of scale leads to: Lower Cost Higher Performance Faster Innovation Higher Quality Standards 6

6 Smartphone-based Mobility and Data Capture Solutions Can Deliver Huge Business Benefits Outdated HW and SW solutions for Retail Ops/Logistics Bad UX High TCO Inflexible, wired or dock-connected Single-purpose device Dedicated deployment B2E only Outdated software, slow time to market Clunky, outdated, slow hardware Easy-to-Use and Future-proof Solutions for Retail Ops/Logistics Excellent UX 3-5x Lower TCO Real-time Analytics Multi-purpose devices Flexible deployment: BYOD and dedicated B2E, B2B and B2C Modern, integrated SW solutions Modern / New HW - Smartphones - Tablets - Wearables, drones

7 Smartphones as Mobile Data Capture Devices? Excellent UX Modern Operating System 3-5x Lower Total Cost Of Ownership (TCO) But Barcode Scanning Performance? Battery Life? Durability? Ergonomics?

8 Enterprise-Grade Barcode Scanning on an iphone 6

9 Smartphone Devices Have Evolved Into Outstanding Data Capture Devices Battery Life: Scan every 5s on a single charge for 10.5h (7,500 scans) on an iphone 6 SE and 15h (9,000 scans) on Samsung Galaxy S7 Durability: Many rugged phones or cases available

10 Ergonomics and Durability via Specialized Cases

11 INNOVATION: Advanced Data Capture Innovations to Streamline Logistics Operations Multiscanning enables highspeed scanning and tracking of multiple barcodes for rapid inventory checks and singlescan receiving Augmented Reality (AR) allows guided picking, automatic price verification, identification of specific products from a shelf, carton or pallet of similar goods

12 INNOVATION: Advanced Data Capture Innovations to Streamline Logistics Operations Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Adds Text Recognition to Mobile Scanning Workflows Key Capability: Mobile scanning apps can be enabled to read predefined data from sources such as packages, forms and labels OCR Use Cases: Reading serial numbers Capturing data from other sources when code is damaged Reading lot numbers after a code is captured Video: Link to video

13 Targeting Different Device Platforms Hands on Hands free Hands off

14 Hands on Use Case Shipping & Receiving Authenticate shipments and instantly report damaged or missing items Save time and resources on the loading dock Easy to use and ergonomically optimized Capture shipment data in bulk with multiscanning

15 Hands on Use Case Proof of Delivery Geotagging and geofencing capabilities ensure deliveries go to the right place Mobile device built-in camera and touchscreen enable image, data and signature capture Document and signature capture features quickly collect and e-file documents

16 Hands on Use Case Order Entry Make it easy for customers to place orders at any time Reliable, simple mobile order entry improves customer/client efficiency and productivity Orders can be entered, retrieved and delivered to the customer with no additional steps

17 Hands off Use Case - Order Picking Smart glasses enable employees to pick items with a glance Multiscanning and AR capabilities allow associates to identify correct products with visual scans Hands are left free for physically picking and packing orders

18 Hands-off Use Case: Track and Trace Using smart glasses, employees can instantly track and trace items, products or assets Out-of-stocks are reduced at a glance Awkward, bulky dedicated barcode scanning hardware is replaced with unobtrusive eyewear

19 Hands-Off Use Case: Inventory Management Drones or robots can quickly capture data from an entire warehouse full of products Drones and robots can automatically scan inventory on nights, weekends and holidays Using hands-off data capture platforms, logistics organizations can reduce labor costs and error rates Link to video

20 Hands-Off Use Case: Asset Management Drones and robots can easily scan remote or hard-to-reach assets in the field Hands-off mobile data capture platform streamlines finding and tracking assets across the supply chain Fewer human resources spent locating and maintaining assets boosts revenues and improves employee focus

REPLACE & EXPAND Key Benefits: Lower TCO (3-5x) Higher efficiency Better UX 2. INNOVATE Key Benefits: Business transformation Higher revenues (+85%) User Empowerment 3. REAL-TIME OPERATIONAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE Key Benefits: Strategic advantage through BI Reduce working capital

22 REPLACEMENT: Smartphones can replace Dedicated Scanners and save $31MM+ over 4 Years

23 Other Benefits of Smart Devices as Barcode Scanners BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Associates can use their own smart devices to run scanning apps, eliminating cost of providing and maintaining hardware. Ergonomics Dedicated scanners are bulky and awkward. Smaller, sleeker smart devices are lightweight and easily fit associates hands. This reduces fatigue, errors and repetitive motion injuries.
