This article delves into the critical application of high-performance industrial mobile computing and centralized device management solutions in modern logistics operations. Through a practical case study of Deppon Express, a leading comprehensive logistics service provider in China, this article demonstrates how the combined solution of the AUTOID Q7-(Grip) mobile computer and a mobile device management system overcomes equipment performance and operational maintenance challenges in high-intensity loading and unloading scenarios. It provides a comprehensive optimization solution for enhancing logistics operational efficiency and ensuring operational continuity.

User Background

Deppon Express was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Qingpu District, Shanghai. It is a publicly listed company. The company has a large workforce, with operating revenue reaching 27.5 billion RMB in 2020. To meet customers' diverse needs, in addition to standard express delivery services, Deppon Express provides a series of logistics solutions including full truckload transportation, warehousing, supply chain management, and express delivery. Currently, the company has 5,300 self-operated stores across China.

Challenges

With the continuous growth of its business volume, Deppon Express faces severe equipment performance challenges in its core loading, unloading, and sorting operations. The intensity of on-site labor is extremely high, with each employee potentially needing to scan and process up to 10,000 pieces of cargo daily. Traditional mobile computing devices, under the pressure of such high-intensity, prolonged continuous operations, can no longer meet daily operational demands in terms of scanning performance, battery life, and overall stability. This has become a bottleneck restricting the improvement of overall transportation and operational efficiency.

Before introducing the new-generation solution, Deppon Express faced the following specific operational bottlenecks in on-site loading and unloading operations:

• Severely insufficient device performance and battery life: Existing scanning equipment could not match the scanning intensity of up to 10,000 scans per person per day, and the battery life could not support the required 12 hours of continuous uninterrupted operation on-site. Frequent charging or failures led to interruptions in the workflow.
• Complex management of a massive number of terminals: Facing a vast operational network and a large number of devices spread across the country, there was a lack of efficient, unified remote management methods. Operational maintenance tasks such as device deployment, application updates, and fault troubleshooting were time-consuming and labor-intensive.

By deploying the AUTOID Q7-(Grip) mobile computer and accompanying device management system provided by Seuic, Deppon Express achieved significant operational efficiency improvements:

• Leap in hardware performance and operational efficiency: The battery life and scanning performance of the AUTOID Q7-(Grip) mobile computer improved by over 30% compared to the previous generation. This directly supported ultra-high-intensity scanning operations, driving an overall business efficiency improvement of over 25%.
• Achieved "zero" system failure operation for devices: Through deep customization and optimization of the mobile computer's operating system, combined with high-performance hardware, the system failure rate of on-site devices was successfully reduced to zero, greatly ensuring operational stability and continuity.

Deppon Express adopted an integrated "customized hardware + centralized management software" solution:

• Deployment of high-performance industrial mobile terminals: The AUTOID Q7-(Grip) mobile computer was deployed in core links such as loading/unloading and sorting. The device is equipped with an industry-leading Qualcomm processor, a self-developed latest-generation scanning engine, and a 5200mAh high-capacity battery, fundamentally solving the pain points of high-performance scanning and long-lasting battery life. Its optimized volume design also enhances the grip experience.
• Implementation of customized centralized device management: Seuic customized and developed a mobile computer management system for Deppon Express. Through this system, headquarters administrators can perform remote batch upgrades, unified application deployment and management, and efficient remote fault diagnosis and troubleshooting for all on-site devices. This has achieved intelligent, visual, and efficient operational maintenance work, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of device operation and maintenance management nationwide.
