Four Ways You Can Improve Operations

What benefits can you expect from the application of barcoding? From the receiving dock to the shipping door, barcode data collection provides direct benefits to labor productivity, production control, operational costs, customer service, space requirements and inventory management.

Organize Shipping and Receiving

Whether you receive shipments with barcodes applied by suppliers or you need to print and apply labels for internal use, barcodes provide a way to monitor the flow of inputs. Labels identify the item, purchase order number, supplier, lot number, date of delivery, and more. This information is then used to create a receiving and purchasing record which becomes part of the material's history throughout its cycle, thereby providing lot traceability.

When shipping packages, barcode labels are often mandatory. Barcode label software can integrate with your database systems to provide convenient, efficient generation of barcode labels. Once in transit, barcode labels provide an effective means of tracking packages and collecting proof of delivery.

Manage Inventory Effectively

The most valuable characteristic of barcodes in inventory control is keeping track of parts, supplies and materials that you purchase, stock, and consume. Knowing what you have, and where to find it, prevents costly disruptions, saves money in purchasing, and increases sales revenue.

Track Fixed and Circulating Assets

The application of bar coding to fixed assets was one of this technology's first uses. By attaching a label to capital equipment, office furniture, computers and other fixtures, you can keep an account of what you own, calculate depreciation easily, conduct physical inventories, and perform preventative maintenance.

Circulating assets include equipment, tools, files and other valuable inventory that changes hands within an organization. By tracking who has custody of each asset, inefficiency and losses can be minimized.

Use Automatic Data Collection

Virtually any data collection process that currently runs on clipboard and paper can be managed with barcodes and mobile computers, creating a leap in productivity and accuracy. Whether you run a factory or a hospital, grow crops or harvest timber, effective management depends upon timely, accurate information.
