Warehousing and distribution specialist Miniclipper Logistics, based in Central Bedfordshire and East Staffordshire, has enhanced its operations by installing new mobile printing devices from Brother UK, a provider of business print solutions. These have significantly improved label printing efficiency and accuracy, and reduced pedestrian traffic around the warehouse, boosting site safety.

After testing various options, the firm implemented a number of Brother RJ-4250WB models into its operations. This solution not only provides wireless operation and seamless integration with the existing warehouse management software platform, but also allows staff to print labels without leaving their materials handling equipment (MHE) vehicles.

The compact devices enable Miniclipper’s employees to print the required labels on the spot, shortening the distance they travel around the warehouse, speeding up the picking process and lowering the risk of mislabelling.

The Brother RJ-4250WB is a rugged 4-inch mobile printer that features drop protection up to 2.1 meters, print speeds of up to 5 inches per second and industry-leading battery life.

Jordan Chaney, warehouse manager at Miniclipper, said: "Printing from MHEs is a major time-saver for us as we print hundreds of labels per day. The Brother solutions are very fast and easy-to-use. The large format of the labels allow us to include all the information we need."

Gary Morris, senior end user client manger SPS at Brother UK, said: “Accurate and reliable labelling is critical in logistics. Our team worked closely with Miniclipper to ensure the solution would integrate seamlessly with its existing operations and software platform.”
