On any given Air Force base – inventory and fleet management are two of the most important logistical tasks on the base to keep it running efficiently. Those responsible for managing thebase logistics have many moving parts to track, order, process and ensure everything is in the right place at all times. Should inventory run out or be misplaced all other areas of a mission could be affected.
Inventory management on an air force base can include food, supplies for the base, mission-critical supplies, medical supplies, equipment, and more. Inventory management requires logging all materials on the base, ordering parts when they are running low, tracking shipments on and off the base, and ensuring all parts are where they need to be when they need to be there. There are a lot of items to monitor and track, therefore the technology used to manage the processes of inventory management on bases needs to be fast, efficient and easy to use.
Fleet management on an air force base includes monitoring and tracking all maintenance andrepairs, and forecasting future needs of vehicles and aircraft; ensuring all vehicles are operating and running efficiently when needed. Parts for vehicle and aircraft repairs and maintenance needs are also part of the fleet management process.
Military-grade tablets are built for the needs of base logistics, warehouse management, and inventory and fleet management. They help to simplify the process and improve the efficiency of all tasks required to keep an air force base running at optimal levels. Rugged tablets have fast processors allowing for items to be documented quickly. Systems are integrated within the military-grade tablet to monitor and track all moving parts, all repairs and all shipments coming on and off the base.
CAC readers and network security are of high importance when communicating among team members, military-grade tablets are built with security measures to limit access to only approved personnel. Information can be limited based on specific network requirements, allowing teams to communicate in real-time. For example, the fleet repair team can update the information about repairs to vehicles in real-time, communicating with office personnel that a truck or aircraft is ready to be put back into service. This communication happens in real-time leaving no room for unnecessary downtime.
Rugged tablets built for the military are built to withstand tough environments, durable enough to survive dust, water, drops and conducting in-the-field missions. Military-grade tablets are the perfect assistant to military personnel who need to get the job done fast with high levels of accuracy and no room for human error. Improving the processes of base logistics, and enhancing the flow of inventory and fleet management, rugged tablets answer the call of duty for air force teams.
