Bar Code Transactions and Label Printing
Introduction The constantly evolving manufacturing environment which includes significant changes in technology as well as business practices is providing the impetus for automatic data collection usage. Data is transferred into a computer much faster and more accurately when scanned from a bar code. Radio Frequency systems provide near-instant transfer of data from portable computer terminals to business software systems. Bar Code scanning significantly reduces the number of errors. Studies indicate that bar code scanning produces less than one error for every one million characters transferred, versus one error for every 300 typed characters.
Bar Code data collection can improve the effectiveness of your use of CIMPRO ® by providing timely and accurate inventory information. The CIMPRO® Bar Coding Interface provides a seamless interface between state of the art hardware and the CIMPRO® system. The RF devices log on directly into a UNIX or VMS platform as a terminal. By performing terminal emulation in the RF devices, the emulation software is the only software residing on the terminal. The portable terminal provides for data capture at the point where the transaction occurs.
