I am at a client's location this week implementing barcode scanning with RF handheld terminals. We usually use Teklogix equipment. Scanning can be simple to complex. It depends on if you only want to capture enough information to generate an ASN or if you want to track the inventory all the way thru your facility. It is not simple, and not cheap to implement. With this particular implementation, we are barcoding all raw materials that come in the receiving dock (this is a meat processing company), track the movement into raw materials inventory, track the raw materials into the production room for processing, and then track the finished goods as they come off the processing line. From there we either track the finished goods into inventory or shipped to a customer.
While this client is tracking every box throughout their facility, you can simply barcode cartons to ship, and scan the UCC128 labels to generate an ASN. It really depends on what your goals are. cjg -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Earl Wertheimer Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 5:10 PM To: Sarah Kopelman; [email protected] Subject: [EDI-L] Re: Inventory scanning Sarah > This is a 'side' question: > Are any of you involved in inventory scanning?. > If yes, what do use?. Yes. Multiple things, depending on client requirements. One client has a bunch of Symbol P360/P470 batch scanners. They scan the orders as they are picked and then dump the data & print a PackingSlip. The system exports the scanned information to a file that gets invoices by their Accounting system (Acomba). One client has a few Unitech batch scanners for Inventory. They count their stuff once a year, download the data & compare it to their computerized inventory. Some have very expensive (it's all relative) WMS systems that have RF scanners, linked to their shipping systems. Inventory scanning is a bit vague. Give us more information, and I'm sure that there are lots of people here with different solutions. Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
