The Barcode Inventory System accelerates
data entries and virtually eliminates incorrect entries. Barcode
entries are used to record stock receipts, adjustments, transfers,
and returns to the warehouse. Raw materials can be moved from
warehouse to warehouse with ease. Simply scan the material
label, move the item to its new location, scan the label again
at the new location, and enter the new location number. Any
raw material, including paper, ink, plates and other consumables
may be bar coded and tracked throughout the system from receipt
through consumption. Primac® users who instill tight inventory
control discipline with BIS find they need to take physical
inventory much less frequently, and that any write-off adjustments
are minor.
Features
-
Creates unique roll/skid numbers for stock paper
for tracking purposes, or optionally can use the
TAPPI roll/skid numbers provided by the mills, when
those barcodes can be trusted to be unique and consistently
scanable. Primac® 's Release 12 adds the ability
to track all raw materials, including ink, plates,
and other consumables.
-
Comes with special resident label-making software.
This software allows the user to define the layout
of the roll or skid label to meet specific plant
needs. The Barcode Inventory System uses the Worthington
Data Solutions'® Label Right® PC software
product to perform the label writing operations.
-
Follows the three-of-nine barcode protocols adopted
by various standards committees, including EMBARC
and ANSII.
-
Makes physical inventory a breeze using the system
and the Intermec® scanners.
-
The Intermec® 2425 hand held units run in TCP/IP
sessions, making their communication with Primac® on line and real-time.
-
RF transactions include inventory receipts, inventory
transfers, interdivisional inventory transfers,
return to stock and the taking of physical inventory.

The
value of the Barcode Inventory System for the web printer
is in tracking skids of folded signatures. The Barcode
Inventory System is used to assign and print a skid
tag as skids are loaded and wrapped at the folder. An
Intermec® RF transaction immediately records the
item number or form number, the skid number and its
location. Subsequent moves are also recorded in real-time
using RF-capable laser scanners; so, you will know the
location and content of each skid at all times. Lost
skids are virtually eliminated or at least vastly reduced.
BIS can be run in batch upload mode from hand held laser
scanners, or can be deployed with 2.4 GHz 802.11b equipped
hand held units. RF BIS enables transactions to be posted
much faster and with more accurate data, since information
such as warehouse location, stock roll number and other
items can be validated during data entry.
