Barcoding, Mobile Computing, Wireless, tracking physical assets, inventory, and personnel with automated systems can save money and improve operations.
A barcode or RFID reader can gather the necessary data at the point of activity quickly and accurately. BarcodeAll.com system integrators have the expertise!
Barcode scanners have long been an inexpensive and reliable way to gather data with the ease of "point and click." A barcode sticker, tag or ID card can cost less than a penny. At each operation, scanning the barcode creates a transaction record that can be stored in a database.
The Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) industry includes manufactures of fixed terminals, mobile devices, peripherals, and related software. With more than 20,000 different products to choose from, BarcodeAll.com system integrators has the expertise to recommend the right combination of hardware, software and services.
RFID systems work very much the same way as barcode systems, except that a clear line-of-sight between the scanner and the tag is not necessary, because radio waves travel through many materials. RFID technology is developing rapidly, whereas barcode systems are a mature technology.
Situations involving barcodes and RFID often require a mobile computer that can go to the "point of activity." To support communications between mobile computers and host systems, the AIDC industry pioneered the use of wireless networking in the 1980's. Wireless networking is often an integral part of a barcode or RFID data collection system.
