 Data collection systems gather product or labor information for:
- Receiving
- Inventory Control
- Production
- Shipping
Data collection systems use portable devices to store information and frequently must scan bar codes on products, shelving or containers. The gathered information must update a primary manufacturing or warehousing system. These portable devices may be:
- Hand-held with batch connectivity to the primary system
- Hand-held with radio (RF) connectivity to the primary system
- Fork-truck mounted with either batch or RF connectivity
Bar code scanning may require reading:
- Short range distances to 1D bar codes
- Long range distances to 1D bar codes
- 2D bar codes
- Bar codes on products moving on a conveyor
Data collection devices range from Pocket PCs with add-on scanners to rugged industrial devices with 2D bar code reading imagers. Our extensive background in data collection systems means you will get our knowledgeable recommendation for devices that are best suited to your business and budget.
As system integrators, not hardware distributors, our objective is to recommend products that best address your data collection application's needs.
We understand that installation of a data collection system is a significant operational change. Our software is designed with an emphasis on "ease of use" and we provide thorough training for your plant personnel.
