Jim, Once again, I would look at Worth Data, although there are others that are out there as well. Their equipment is reliable and reasonably priced - they last a long time. When I bought some of the first wedge readers at 1/3 of the cost of our then-current vendor, most of the IT guys here scoffed as being cheap stuff. Now this is all we use. To answer your question, you can attach a reader to a laptop, as some do, or use a portable hand held scanner which is much easier to handle for inventory. These scanners have some very easy set-ups to read things like product numbers and then put in a qty to order, for example. Then it's a hard wired or wireless download to a PC database, such as RBG7. This would be the cheapest method, if your warehouse isn't setup for wireless to a network or similar. Hope this helps. Bob C.
