The average warehouse worker can walk approximately 859 miles a year, expending valuable time and money. Some businesses have their work floors set for the flow of work coming in, going out, or being processed. Employees on the floors may spend up to 50% of their workday walking from point A to point B rather than performing work.
In large warehouses and factories, items need to be scanned, barcode labels need to be printed and applied, and returns need to be processed. Quality control needs to test and log results, often walking from the location of the testing to put results in at their computers. In other facilities, mid-level managers focus their time in a central location or office, not engaging with their employees on the floor.
So how can processes be streamlined for greater efficiency and production? By incorporating rugged mobile powered workstations designed for ergonomic solutions.
Newcastle Systems pioneered the industry in 2005 with the thought that there had to be a better, more efficient way to get work done other than constantly walking back and forth for different pieces of equipment.
The company found that their rugged power carts quickly increased productivity, minimizing the time it took for employees to walk back and forth from products to computers, to barcode printers.
Labor shortages can be a challenge. The mobile powered workstations cut back on wasted time while minimizing data and mislabeling errors for greater efficiency and production. Mid-level managers become more involved, and QA can easily test and input data on the spot.
Newcastle power carts are fully customizable with accessory and battery options to keep work flowing throughout an entire shift. The ROI can be seen in as little as 4-6 months, providing lifetime rewards. And as they are mobile power carts, there are no infrastructure changes required.
Use the innovative mobile workstation systems in a variety of industries:
-
-
- Retail for mobile POS
- Manufacturing for QA, Shipping & Receiving, and labeling of finished goods
- Warehouses, Distribution, & T&L for Shipping & Receiving, inventory control, supervisor use, picking, etc.

Enhance Production while Saving Money
Employees can spend a needless amount of time walking around warehouses to constantly get all the items needed to complete their work. This can cause fatigue and burnout, potentially creating a loss of employees while causing others to work overtime to complete their workload.
Tasks can be completed in less time with rugged mobile workstations from Newcastle. Employees could transport everything they will need during their shift on one cart that is designed for industrial use. The ergonomical design allows employees to modify the specifics so there is no strain on their backs. Computer screens are adjustable to accommodate different heights.
What are people saying about Newcastle power carts? The I Heart My Cart campaign is a growing trend, as more people experience efficient mobility.

Supervisors become more involved on the floor with their employees, increasing engagement and productivity by up to 30%. Quality Assurance can input data on the spot instead of carrying results back and forth, decreasing potential data errors and reducing wasted time.
