Types of Barcode Terminals

Barcode terminals are available from Japanese and foreign manufacturers.

The latest barcode terminals are mostly based on the Android OS, while the previously mainstream Windows OS terminals are obsolete. The reason for this is that Windows OS terminals are based on Windows 7, which is no longer supported by Microsoft for barcode terminals.

Since the Android OS has been adopted, users can now use it as if it were a smartphone, making it easier to use. In addition, connections can be made from tablets and smartphones. Because of the ease of connectivity, security must be taken into consideration.

Points to keep in mind when introducing barcode systems

There are many examples of barcode systems that have failed, and we will discuss some points to keep in mind for success.

Barcode systems in ERP, production management systems, and inventory management systems manage quantities, amounts, and locations. A common failure is to overload the system with information based on manufacturing strategies such as processing conditions, quality control, daily reports, etc., making the system inoperable.

The input person is always the person in charge of the shop floor. It is important to always double check the data entered.

The system must be connected to a barcode system, and must be able to handle BOM and Stock Card (FIFO, Average required). In other words, amount control is absolutely necessary. Without a bill of materials, it is impossible to input the consumption of child items at the time of production performance input.
