Bar Code Data Collection

First the system prints a pressure sensitive bar code ticket with a unique serial number for each item ordered on a Purchase Order. When items are received, the bar code label is placed on the box or item. The operator then scans the item to receive it at the store or warehouse and inventory files are updated immediately. Finally, the Aisle/Bin/Level locations are also scanned upon “put away.“

FACS5 supports both handheld and baton scanners as well as RF bar code devices. (Batch scanning devices are uploaded to the AS/400 through a terminal interface, while the RF Terminals are ”on-line“ and real-time.)

The RF Bar Code System can be used in delivery processing for picking, loading and delivery reconciliation.

Various inventory functions are available on RF Scanners such as: damage codes, return to manufacturer, customer pick-ups and switch locations.
