What can implementing a Barcode System do for you?
Look closely into any competitive business and you’ll find barcodes visible at all stages of operations – accurately identifying raw materials, tracking work in process, managing inventory, directing shipments, and providing lifetime identification for service and warranty management. The benefits are clear too – accurate information, real-time visibility, and a highly productive work force.
These benefits show up in many ways:
- Research found that companies who support their enterprise resource planning with real-time automated data collection achieve a 50% higher return on their ERP investment than those who do not.
- Warehouse operations supported with wireless barcode input commonly achieve 99.x% inventory accuracy.
- Experienced typists make one error approximately every 300 keystrokes. Entering data by barcode scanning keeps errors – and the time and labor needed to resolve them – out of operations.
- Practically any business can take advantage of barcoding to free up workers and reduce the paperwork needed to manage assets, supplies and shipments.
It’s clear to see how organisations rely on barcoding to keep errors and inefficiency out of their operations. What’s less clear is all that goes in to making barcode systems reliable and effective.
