Abstract

Systems and methods for managing powered industrial vehicles are provided. In one embodiment, the system includes an analyzer module configured to determine route data based on facility layout data. The system also includes a dispatch management module configured to receive a request to transport cargo from a first location to a second location in the warehouse, and a surface visibility module configured to track the cargo after it is transferred from the first location to the second location by receiving scanned barcode data from the cargo via a scanner connected to a wireless network.
